Abstract

An apparatus and a method for managing power consumption for each power consumption element in an electronic device and updating a power profile is disclosed. The electronic device estimates current power consumption of the electronic device based on unit power consumption corresponding to each target hardware component set in the power profile and monitors whether an update of the power profile is required. If it is determined that the update of the power profile is required, the electronic device may update the power profile corresponding each target hardware component by consumption estimated in accordance with each target hardware component and consumption measured in accordance with each target hardware component.
