Abstract

An user profile may be used to adjust one or more system power management settings of an information handling system. An information handling system may transmit one or more user profile credentials. The information handling system may receive user profile data and may compare the user profile data with one or more system characteristics of the information handling system. Based on the comparison of the user profile data with the system characteristics of the information handling system, the information handling system may adjust one or more power management settings of the information handling system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for information handling system power management, comprising:
receiving, by a first information handling system with first one or more system characteristics, user profile data associated with a user profile that was generated based on usage of a second information handling system with second one or more system characteristics and one or more second power management settings;
receiving, by the first information handling system, co-occurrence mapping data correlating co-occurrence of profiles, system characteristics, and power management settings of other information handling systems; and
adjusting one or more first power management settings of the first information handling system based, at least in part, on the user profile data, the first one or more system characteristics of the first information handling system, and the co-occurrence mapping data, wherein the adjusting uses the co-occurrence mapping data to map the one or more second power management settings of the second information handling system to the one or more first power management settings of the first information handling system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received user profile data comprises usage data associated with the user profile collected from the second information handling system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received user profile data comprises a user persona classification determined based on usage data associated with the user profile.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring usage of the first information handling system; and
further adjusting the one or more power management settings based on the monitored usage of the first information handling system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first power management settings comprise at least one of:
a battery charge policy; and
a system power consumption management policy.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first one or more system characteristics comprise at least one of:
a battery health;
a system

power consumption
ranking; and a battery
capacity.

7. An information handling system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory,
wherein the processor is coupled to the memory and configured to perform steps comprising:
receiving, by the processor of the information handling system having first one or more system characteristics, user profile data associated with a user profile that was generated based on usage of a second information handling system with second one or more system characteristics and one or more second power management settings;
receiving, by the processor, co-occurrence mapping data correlating co-occurrence of profiles, system characteristics, and power management settings of other information handling systems; and
adjusting one or more first power management settings of the information handling system based, at least in part, on the user profile data, with the first one or more system characteristics of the information handling system, and the co-occurrence mapping data, wherein the adjusting uses the co-occurrence mapping data to map the one or more second power management settings of the second information handling system to the one or more first power management settings of the information handling system.

8. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the received user profile data comprises usage data associated with the user profile collected from the second information handling system.

9. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the received user profile data comprises a user persona classification determined based on usage data associated with the user profile.

10. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to perform steps further comprising:
monitoring usage of the information handling system; and
further adjusting the one or more power management settings based on the monitored usage of the information handling system.

11. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more first power management settings comprise at least one of:
a battery charge policy; and
a system power consumption management policy.

12. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the first one or more system characteristics comprise at least one of:
a battery health;
a system power consumption ranking; and

a battery capacity.

13. A computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a first information handling system with first one or more system characteristics to perform steps comprising:
receiving user profile data associated with a user profile that was generated based on usage of a second information handling system with second one or more system characteristics and one or more second power management settings;
receiving co-occurrence mapping data correlating co-occurrence of profiles, system characteristics, and power management settings of other information handling systems; and
adjusting one or more first power management settings of the information handling system based, at least in part, on the user profile data, the first one or more system characteristics of the first information handling system, and the co-occurrence mapping data, wherein the adjusting uses the co-occurrence mapping data to map the one or more second power management settings of the second information handling system to the one or more first power management settings of the first information handling system.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the received user profile data comprises usage data associated with the user profile collected from the second information handling system.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the received user profile data comprises a user persona classification determined based on usage data associated with the user profile.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the one or more first power management settings comprise at least one of:
a battery charge policy; and
a system power consumption management policy.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the first one or more system characteristics comprise at least one of:
a battery health;
a system power consumption ranking; and a battery capacity.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the co-occurrence mapping data correlates certain power management settings that match usage data associated with the user profile data.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein adjusting one or more power management settings comprises adjusting a first charging policy for the first information handling system to a value different from a second charging policy of the user profile data for the second information handling system based on the first one or more system characteristics of the first information handling system specifying a first battery status and based on co-occurrence mapping data specifying the second charging policy for users corresponding to the user profile data.

20. The information handling system of claim 7 , wherein the co-occurrence mapping data maps power management settings that have been applied in the other information handling systems with similar system characteristics as the first one or more system characteristics of the first information handling system when associated with other user profiles including similar usage data as usage data of the user profile data.
