Embodiment
The present invention provides a kind of method that prolongs the service time of portable unit by control store for the deficiency that overcomes prior art.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing embodiments of the invention are elaborated.
Fig. 2 is to use the example of portable unit load software when sleep pattern of SDRAM20, Fig. 3 is the structure of the SDRAM30 of portable unit of the present invention when moving with sleep pattern, and Fig. 4 is the precedence diagram by the service time of the prolongation portable unit of the electric weight of saving SDRAM30.
At first, the illustrated example that is to use portable unit load software when sleep pattern of SDRAM of Fig. 2, as shown in the figure, when portable unit when entering sleep pattern, most application program all finishes, the application program of the small part of only remaining managing portable device so the use amount of the heap 24 of SDRAM20 and storehouse 22 obviously reduces, has only the part in thesaurus 3 zones and a part of storehouse 22 zones in thesaurus 4 zones to be in user mode.
Different with activity pattern, when portable unit is in sleep pattern, there are the valid data of being preserved in thesaurus 3,4 zones of SDRAM hardly.
In addition, except the zone of RO, RW, ZI, other zone is by storehouse 22 and 24 common uses of heap, wherein, heap 24 increases along with data, beginning upwards from the last address of ZI, bit address increases progressively and fills up; And storehouse 22 is along with the increase of data, then increases progressively and fills up from the downward bit address in upper address.
As RO, RW, the ZI zone in 1,2 zones, storehouse, move and keep data even also need carry out self-refresh when being in sleep pattern.
Existing situation is, even portable unit is in sleep pattern, does not almost have the data that will keep in the thesaurus 3,4 of SDRAM, also needs the whole thesaurus of SDRAM is carried out self-refresh, so consumed the unnecessary energy content of battery.
As shown in Figure 2, principle of the present invention is: when portable unit enters sleep pattern, have only several softwares to use storehouse 22 and heap 24 zones, and most software has been in done state, so do not use storehouse 22 and heap 24 zones of SDRAM20, and, when portable unit enters sleep pattern, the storehouse 22 of the small part that accounts for thesaurus 3,4 zones with pile 24 zones and utilize to disperse journal files (scatter logfile) to set and be kept at RO, the RW that carries out the SDRAM self-refresh, thesaurus 2 zones in ZI zone.
When portable unit is converted to activity pattern, the data that are in heap and storehouse that are kept at thesaurus 2 zones of carrying out self-refresh action is returned to do not carry out re-using behind thesaurus 3,4 zones that self-refresh moves.
In addition, in the EMRS of SDRAM, set, only allow 1,2 thesauruss refresh thereby make in 4 thesauruss that carry out self-refresh action, thereby the self-refresh current drain of the SDRAM when making the sleep pattern of portable unit reduce half, prolongs the stand-by time of portable unit when sleep pattern.
Disperseing journal file (scatter log file) is to set other storehouse and heap zone, because whether it can preserve according to a certain amount of space of certain address setting of SDRAM and definition or use the software among the ROM.
Fig. 3 is the structure of the SDRAM30 when portable unit of the present invention moves with sleep pattern.
When portable unit enters sleep pattern, measurable prerequisite software, so can calculate the size of shared heap of these softwares and stack region, thereby utilize to disperse journal file (scatter log file) heap that establishment adds in addition thesaurus 2 in and storehouse 32 zones, and the handle data that are positioned at thesaurus 3,4 move and preserve.
When portable unit is in sleep pattern, the data of heap that is positioned at thesaurus 3,4 and stack region will be moved to the storehouse and the heap zone 32 of thesaurus 2, so need not to carry out self-refresh, thereby electric weight that the self-refresh action of saving SDRAM is consumed when being in sleep pattern.
Promptly, when portable unit enters sleep pattern, for the data that are positioned at as the zone of the storehouse 22 of Fig. 2 and heap 24 are saved in thesaurus 2 zones, disperse journal file to create a zone and preserve thereby utilize, and only self-refresh is carried out in thesaurus 1,2 zones of SDRAM.And when portable unit when newly being converted to activity pattern, the data that are kept at storer 2 zones re-use from newly returning to thesaurus 3,4 zones, thereby save the electric weight that the self-refresh action is consumed.
Fig. 4 is the precedence diagram by the service time of the prolongation portable unit of the electric weight of saving SDRAM30.
At first, in EMRS table, SDRAM only is set at when be in sleep pattern and thesaurus 1,2 is carried out self-refresh moves (ST70).
Then, utilize and disperse journal file (scatter log file) to create another heap and storehouse 32, the data when making sleep pattern can be saved in the thesaurus 2 (ST72).
When portable unit is converted to activity pattern, usually thesaurus 3,4 zones be used as the heap and storehouse use (ST74, ST76).
When portable unit when activity pattern is converted to sleep pattern, the data (ST78, ST80) of utilizing the heap created in thesaurus 2 zones and storehouse 32 zones to duplicate and preserve thesaurus 3,4 zones.
Therefore, when portable unit was in sleep pattern, thesaurus 3,4 zones did not have data fully, so only the self-refresh action is carried out in thesaurus 1,2 zones, thereby save the consumes power of half, prolong the stand-by time (ST82) of portable unit when sleep pattern.
When portable unit when newly being converted to activity pattern, the data that are kept at thesaurus 2 zones 32 are used (ST84) from newly returning to thesaurus 3,4 zones.
In addition, table 1 can be set the instance graph of EMRS (the Extendedmode register set) table in self-refresh zone in the thesaurus 1-4 zone of SDRAM, as shown in table 1, if A0, A1, A2 are set at, can make portable unit when sleep pattern, only thesaurus 1,2 be carried out the self-refresh action at 1,0,0 37 o'clock.
