A Fast Stand-by Mode Transition Scheme Using TV Power-off Signal for Set Top Box Power Saving

This paper proposes an efficient set-top box (STB) power-saving scheme using TV power-off signal. Unlike a conventional mode transition scheme requires user input monitoring for stand-by mode transition, the proposed power-saving scheme transits to stand-by mode immediately when the STB detects TV power-off signal. The fast mode transition to stand-by mode saves the power consuming remarkably. Simulation results show that the power consumption is reduced with increase in TV power-on/off event rate which is modeled as Poisson process. The proposed scheme saves the power up to 19% compared to the conventional scheme. [Ikram Syed, Daesik Shin, Hoon Kim.
