The invention discloses a method and
system automatically switching standby
modes. The method and
system automatically switching standby
modes comprise that an electronic device acquire a multiple address code (MAC) address of a control device used for controlling the electronic device; the control device sends a standby command to the electronic device through the network to enable the electronic device to enter a hot standby mode; under the hot standby state, a power
supply management module of the electric device detects whether the control device corresponding to the
MAC address exists in the network through a communication module of the electronic device at regular intervals, if exists, then maintaining the hot standby state, if not, then switching to a
cold standby state; and under the
cold standby state, the power
supply management module detects whether the control device corresponding to the
MAC address exists in the network through the communication module at regular intervals, if not exists, then maintaining the
cold standby state, otherwise, switching to the hot standby state. The technical scheme of the method and
system automatically switching standby
modes enhances user experience, saves
energy source, and prolongs service lives of household appliances.
