Provided is a method and apparatus for reducing an amount of power consumed in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first processor and a second processor. The second processor bypasses at least one of a user input and a screen output with respect to the first processor, and stores screen data input from the first processor in a frame buffer, while the second processor executes a bypass operation. The first processor processes at least one of a user input and a screen output, through the second processor that executes the bypass operation, and when a specified power-saving operation entry condition is satisfied, the first processor changes the second processor into a processing operation and changes into a sleep operation. The second processor processes at least one of a user input and a screen output using screen data stored in the frame buffer during the processing operation.

Method for power-saving in electronic device and electronic device thereof

An apparatus and method for notifying a user if a mobile terminal is located in an area where its power consumption is high is provided. The voltage level of a battery provided to the mobile terminal is detected. If the detected battery voltage level is reduced by at least a predetermined reference value or more for a predetermined period of time, the mobile terminal determines that the mobile terminal is located in an area where power consumption is high, and then informs the user thereof.
