Abstract

Systems for waking up an application processor (AP) of a mobile device are disclosed. In one embodiment, one of the systems of the mobile device includes a Bluetooth device with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) feature configured to receive a connection request signal from an external device and a hardware module coupled to the Bluetooth device with BLE feature. The hardware module is configured to forward an AP ON request signal received from the external device via the Bluetooth device with BLE feature if the pairing request signal is determined to be valid, and wherein the Bluetooth device with BLE feature and the hardware module are supplied with quiescent current from a battery of the mobile device prior to the wake up of the AP.
