Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for user activity-based dynamic power management and policy creation for mobile platforms are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the monitoring of one or more sensor values of a mobile platform device to gather sensor activity data. Once the sensor activity data is gathered, the user state may be predicted according to the gathered user activity and an updated user state model. In one embodiment, the user state model is updated according to the sensor activity data. In one embodiment, a switch occurs from the present power management policy to a new power management policy if the new user state differs from a present user state by a predetermined amount. In one embodiment, at least one time-out parameter of a selected power management policy may be adjusted to comply with a predicted user state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: one or more operations being performed by a processor of a computing device having a storage medium coupled to the processor, the one or more operations comprising: operating the computing device according to a first power management policy; monitoring one or more sensor values of the computing device; predicting a new user state according to the monitored sensor values and an updated user state model; and switching from the firs…
