Apple New Invention to Detects Usage Patterns to Save Battery life
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday published an Apple patent application for an intuitive mobile device control system that will automatically help to power down certain components during usage, thus maximizing battery life.
In its aptly named application, Power management for electronic devices. Apple describes a system that detects a mobile device owner's usage patterns, estimates the required energy needed to run the phone between charges, and dynamically turns hardware off or closes running software to achieve maximum battery life. The invention also brings location data into the mix for enhanced efficiency
To help reduce power consumption, Apple proposes a system that can compare the estimated time period a user will spend on their device with battery reserves, determining whether the device has sufficient power to last for said period. If the battery does not have sufficient power, the system will adjust "one or more characteristics" to conserve energy.
