Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for dynamically determining configuration information (e.g., for processing video data) and coordinating execution of power management functions based upon an available amount of power for execution of a multi-media service. One example method includes the following features: obtaining an amount of available power for execution of a service requiring multi-media resources within a multi-media device; determining, based upon the amount of available power, configuration information for execution of one or more power management functions in one or more multi-media resources of the multi-media device; and coordinating the execution of the one or more power management functions in the one or more multi-media resources based upon the configuration information in order to manage power utilization within the multi-media device.
