  • Method and Device for Improving Battery Life of a Mobile Computing Device
    Publication number: 20100250986
    Abstract: A method (150) and device (200) adapted to run an application in synchronous communication with an application server is described. The method (150) can include the steps of: detecting (155) motion in proximity to the mobile computing device; and adjusting (160) a synchronization interval between the mobile computing device and a server in response to the detected motion. The method and device can provide substantial energy savings in an energy storage device for a mobile computing device and provides a useful compromise for energy conservation on one hand, while also accommodating a user's demand for a short synchronization interval when desired, on the other.
