Abstract
A mobile telephone has a rendering functionality for rendering media stored in storage, and a user interface for user control. A host processor controls the communication functionality and the user interface. The co-processor controls the rendering of the media. The host processor has high power consumption in an active mode and low power consumption in a sleep mode. The co-processor conditionally supplies wake-up signals to the host processor. Upon receipt of a particular wake-up signal, the host processor switches from the sleep mode into the active mode. In the active mode, the host processor transfers a particular media segment to the co-processor before switching back to the sleep mode. The co-processor buffers the segment before rendering it. Upon detecting a low buffer level the co-processor supplies a next wake-up signal to the host processor for initiating transfer of a next media segment.
