METHOD FOR HIBERNATION CONTROL BASED ON BATTERY CAPACITY
Apparatus and algorithms to balance power savings and convenience to users of electronic devices based on usage patterns, charging and battery efficiency and capacity, and users' subscriptions.
1 . A computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions to facilitate operation of an electronic device, the instructions to perform a process comprising:
configure an electronic device based on a battery capacity of an electronic device;
enable the electronic device to enter a hibernation mode of operation based at least in part on a wake up time and a remaining battery capacity of the electronic device.
2 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:
prevent the electronic device to enter the hibernation mode based on a wake-up time of the electronic device.
3 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein: the wake-up time is a predetermined time for the electronic device to receive periodical subscriptions from a central server.
4 . The computer readable medium of claim 3 wherein: the wake-up time is a user configured time for the electronic device to receive periodical subscriptions from a central server.
5 . The computer readable medium of claim 4 wherein: the electronic device is to remain in a standby mode of operation prior to the wake-up time and after completion of receiving the periodical subscriptions from the central server.
6 . The computer readable medium of claim 5 wherein: the electronic device is to remain in the suspend mode of operation prior to the wake-up time and after completion of receiving the periodical subscriptions from the central server.
7 . A method for managing modes of operation for an electronic device comprising:
setting a wake-up time of an electronic device;
transitioning the electronic device to enter a hibernation mode of operation based at least in part on a battery capacity and the wake-up time of the electronic device.
8 . The method of claim 7 wherein:
transitioning the electronic device to enter the hibernation mode after a predetermined amount of time in a suspend mode of operation.
9 . The method of claim 7 further compromising:
preventing the transition to the hibernation mode prior to the wake-up time and until completion of receiving the periodical subscriptions from the central server.
10 . The method of claim 7 wherein setting of the wake-up time is programming a time for the electronic device to receive periodical subscriptions from a central server.
11 . The method of claim 7 wherein the charging efficiency is based on whether a charging current is greater than a current needed for standby mode of operation of the electronic device.
