Portable electronic devices have been integrated into our lives and become an indispensable necessity for people.

一般手持式裝置都係以系統的角度進行設計，例如在閒置一段時間之開機狀態下，會將系統單晶片(system on chip,SOC)進入待機模式(standby mode)以節省機器在閒置時的耗電量，增加電池的使用時間。雖然系統單晶片本身在待機模式下的耗電量是毫安培(mA)等級，但在一般網路裝置(如WIFI)開啟模式下，即使使用者沒在使用，WIFI依然持續在耗電，故此專利即以根據AP是否需要網路連線來做為WIFI是否即時進入省電模式的判斷。Generally, the handheld devices are designed from a system perspective. For example, when the system is idle for a period of time, the system on chip (SOC) is put into a standby mode to save the idle time of the machine. Power, increase battery life. Although the power consumption of the system single chip itself in standby mode is milliamperes (mA), in the normal network device (such as WIFI) on mode, WIFI continues to consume power even if the user is not using it. The patent is based on whether the AP needs network connection as the WIFI to immediately enter the power saving mode.
