Abstract
In a method for enabling a power-saving mode for an electronic apparatus, a power mode index Ips is determined according to transmission indices Bit˜Bitn and/or port situation indices Ip˜Ipm. For example, when the transmission indices Bit˜Bitn are all under inactive states or when all the port situation indices Ip˜Ipm are under disable states, the power mode index Ips indicates a highly power-saving mode D. When less transmission indices are under inactive states or when less port situation indices Ip˜Ipm are under port disable states, the power mode index Ips indicates a primary or intermediate power-saving mode Dor D. The power mode index Ips can also indicate no power-saving mode Dwhen all transmission indices and/or port situation indices are active/enabled or the electronic apparatus is forced to remain normal power.
