Abstract
A mobile terminal and method for switching states thereof are disclosed. The mobile terminal comprises a communication processor and an application processor, wherein a state in which only the communication processor is in control is defined as a second state, a state in which both the application processor and the communication processor operate and the application processor is in control is defined as a first state, the method comprising: obtaining, in the second state, trigger information corresponding to an event set; and switching the mobile terminal from the second state to the first state based on the trigger information. The mobile terminal according to the present invention can switch to a state in which only the communication processor is in control by obtaining the trigger information corresponding to an event set. In such a state, the system power consumption caused by the application processor can be effectively reduced, since the operation does not rely on the application processor and the processing functions of the communication processor can be utilized alone.
