  • Patent number: 9380534
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting a power efficient network interface are provided. One or more network interfaces for data transfer are detected on an electronic device. An active network interface from the one or more network interfaces, where the active network interface is active for data transfer, is identified. One or more power profiles corresponding to the one or more network interfaces are obtained. A power efficient network interface for data transfer from the one or more network interfaces based on the one or more obtained power profiles is determined. In a case where the determined power efficient network interface is not the active network interface, the power efficient network interface is activated for data transfer; data transfer by the active network interface is suspended after the power efficient network interface has been activated.

  • Publication number: 20150198996
    Abstract: Techniques for managing power consumption are described herein. In some embodiments, the subject technology provides a method for managing power consumption in a battery powered device, the method comprising steps for determining a user engagement with a battery powered device, wherein the battery powered device comprises one or more hardware components, calculating a power time duration for which the battery powered device is to be maintained in a powered state based on the user engagement with the battery powered device and automatically adjusting power consumption characteristics of the one or more hardware components based on the power time duration. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8805897
    Abstract: A method and system for storage is provided that in one embodiment includes a store process that continually appends data to the end of a data file and without deleting the data file. Additions, changes and deletions to data are managed by adding new data to the file and changing appropriate pointers in the data file to reflect the new data. Various application programming interfaces are also provided so that the store process can operate transparently to higher level applications. Various plug-ins are also provided so that the store process can utilize different types, configurations and numbers of storage devices.
