INDICATING CRITICAL BATTERY STATUS IN MOBILE DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014174984

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To indicate a critical battery status in mobile devices.SOLUTION: An integrated circuit such as a SoC may indicate a critical battery status without powering-on a substantial portion including host processing cores. The SoC may include a microcontroller, which may cause the critical battery status data to be stored in a static memory, and a display unit may retrieve such data from the static memory to display a visual symbol on a screen. The other portions of the SoC such as the dynamic memory, system agent, media processors and memory controller hubs may be powered-down while the critical battery status is displayed in the visual form on the screen.
