Managing energy usage in mobile devices
摘要
說(shuō)明書
When the mobile device consumes high amounts of peak power during normal operation, such peak power events can cause the mobile device 100 to suspend or shut down even though there may be substantial battery power remaining. In some devices, a peak power event can cause the device to shut down when there is 30% or more capacity left in the battery. This early shut down generally forces the user to interrupt his normal activities to change the battery pack or recharge the battery before the day's work is completed.
In order to more fully take advantage of battery capacity, in certain embodiments consistent with the present invention the system recognizes factors that can cause early power down events. Power management directed toward the specific systems or processes in the mobile device 100 can be used to reduce or ameliorate peak power events that could result in early shut down of the device. In certain embodiments, this power management allows the user to utilize more of the battery's capacity and improve run time.
