Abstract: Reducing power consumption in an electronic device can include analyzing device usage data associated with the device to predict an extended period of user inactivity, the usage data including at least one of historical usage data and present usage signals and entering an enhanced reduced power state by implementing one or more power saving optimizations for at least a portion the extended period of extended user inactivity, the one or more power saving optimizations slowing, delaying, or interrupting one or more normal activities normally performed by the device. The method can further include exiting the enhanced reduced power state by suspending the one or more power saving optimizations. Exiting the enhanced reduced power state can be performed in response to at least one of: user activity; a specified user routine; or a time predicted by the analyzing device usage data.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to sensed data indicating that the electronic display is not visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on whether the electronic display is visible, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to operating conditions, additional data, and/or predicting that the electronic display is not going to be viewed or visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on a prediction of when a viewer is expected to view the electronic display, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for managing power assertions associated with applications that may run on an electronic device. For example, to reduce power consumption of power available on a power source of the electronic device, the electronic device may start a timer after receiving a request for a power assertion. When the timer expires, the electronic device may enter a low power state.
