Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, computer software, and computer systems for managing power consumption in mobile devices. Some mobile devices are computer systems that enable wireless voice technology and data transmission. Examples of such mobile devices include smart phones, laptop computers, tablet computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like. Such mobile devices may implement several computer software applications to perform operations. When connected to a network, the device can execute a computer software application to receive data from and send data to a source that stores the data and is also connected to the network. The network may be a cellular telephone network (eg 3G network, LTE network) or a wireless network (eg Internet, Wi-Fi) or a combination thereof. For example, a mobile device can execute an electronic mail (email) computer software application that can connect over a network to a source suc...

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, computer-readable medium, and computer system for managing power consumption in a mobile device are described. The mobile computer system executes a first computer application configured to receive data from the server system over the network and a second computer application configured to periodically Search for connections to the network. In response to executing the second computer application, the mobile computer system determines that the strength of the connection is below a threshold strength. In response to determining that the strength of the connection is below the threshold strength, the mobile computer system executes a first computer application to delay requesting data from the server system until a connection to the network is detected.

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure generally relates to power consumption in mobile devices. Background technique [0002] Power sources for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops include, in addition to conventional power cables, batteries that store electrical charge. The availability of batteries that store charge enables these devices to be used as wireless devices that can operate as long as sufficient charge is available in the battery to perform a function. Mobile devices can perform a variety of functions including, for example, telephony functions, computer software functions, Global Positioning System (GPS) functions, and the like. Every function performed by a mobile device consumes a portion of the battery power. As the number of functions performed by a mobile device increases and the frequency with which the device performs each function increases, the life of the device's battery decreases. Contents of the invention [0003] A comput...
