  • Predictive power saving and screen dimming for computing devices
    Patent number: 10452123
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an instruction to transition a device into a reduced power state, predicting an availability of a power source determining a charge of a power storage element, determining whether the power source is predicted to be available before the charge of the power storage element falls below a threshold value, upon determining that the power source is predicted to be available before the charge of the power storage element falls below the threshold value, preventing the transition of the device into the reduced power state, and upon determining that the power source is not predicted to be available before the charge of the power storage element falls below the threshold value, transitioning the device into the reduced power state.
    Type: Grant
