Patent number: 8240978Abstract: The present invention relates to a control method for the operation of a fan equipping an electronic device. A determination step detects the vertical or horizontal position of the electronic device. The fan is not started up during the powering up of the device while the device is in a vertical position. The flow of air produced by the “fireplace” effect in the device in a vertical position suffices to ensure correct ventilation. According to an improvement the device has a sensor measuring the internal temperature of the device, whatever the position of the device, the fan being started up from a determined temperature. The present invention relates also to a device implementing the method.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Xavier Guitton, Anthony Aubin, Maurice Fritsch
