Abstract: Event triggered snapshots of display content of software applications facilitate for a user, typically in the role of a software application developer, in the process of power-optimizing an application under development. The invention provides the developers with an ability to correlate specific software application events, e.g. user interface events, to power consumption peaks and lows.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing shared path connectivity among devices. A connection sharing platform determines to specify at least one group of devices, the at least one group including at least a first path to establish a network connection and a second path to establish a local connection among the devices. The connection sharing platform also determines to cause at least in part an activation of one or more of the devices to establish the network connection, wherein one or more unactivated devices share the network connection over the local connection.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing power consumption notification and management. More particularly, application power consumption models and device battery energy levels can be used to determine a device discharge duration. A device power consumption rate can be determined from application power consumption models.
