Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a system are disclosed, which can reduce power consumption of an electronic device by allowing a communication relay device, to which the electronic device is connected, to perform an operation of the electronic device corresponding to waking up from a sleep mode according to a system timer cycle to identify paging and performing channel monitoring on behalf of the electronic device. A method of reducing power consumption of an electronic device may include: making a connection between the electronic device and a communication relay device; transmitting forwarding information to the communication relay device in response to the connection with the communication relay device by the electronic device; notifying of entry into a sleep mode to the communication relay device and entering the sleep mode by the electronic device; performing channel monitoring for the electronic device in response to the notification of the entry of the electronic device into the sleep mode by the communication relay device; waking up the electronic device when detecting paging corresponding to the electronic device by the communication relay device; and processing the paging in response to the waking-up of the communication relay device by the electronic device.
Abstract:
A method for operating an electronic device includes detecting a touch input by an external object on a first part of a display, determining whether the touch input is accompanied by and adjacent input, and processing a function corresponding to a second part of the display when the touch input is not accompanied by the adjacent input. An electronic device includes a display to display an image, a touch sensor to sense at least one of a touch input and adjacent input, and a processor configured to detect the touch input by an external object on a first part of the display via the touch sensor, determine whether the touch input is accompanied by the adjacent input and process a function corresponding to a second part of the display when the touch input is not accompanied by the adjacent input. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a system-on-chip (SoC) including at least one component, a memory, and a processor functionally connected to the SoC and the memory. The processor is configured to apply a default voltage for driving the at least one component at a specific frequency. The processor is also configured to determine whether data on an offset voltage corresponding to the at least one component and the specific frequency is stored. The processor is further configured to apply the offset voltage, being different from the default voltage, to the at least one component when the data on the offset voltage is stored. Other embodiments are possible.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus that can restrict use of an electronic device in a specific region is provided. The method includes detecting a triggering event initiating operation of an electronic device; obtaining, upon detection of the triggering event, identification information related to the electronic device; comparing the identification information with a preset list; and enforcing usage restriction of the electronic device when the identification information is present on the preset list.
