Title Mobile device and power control method thereof
Abstract A power control method of a mobile device includes the following steps. First, a power
management module receives an externally triggered power control signal and accordingly
generates an interrupt request (IRQ) at a first time point. Next, a processing unit receives the IRQ
and accordingly executes a synchronization processing procedure. A file system timely stores
data from a temporary cache area to a permanent storing area according to the synchronization
processing procedure. Furthermore, a calculating unit calculates a first time period between a
present time point and the first time point and determines whether the calculating unit reaches a
maximum waiting period. When the maximum waiting period is reached, the power management
module performs a power operation according to the power control signal.
