Abstract: Managing power-consuming resources on a first computing device by adjusting data delivery from a plurality of second computing devices based on a state of the first computing device. The state of the first computing device is provided to the second computing devices to alter the data delivery. In some embodiments, the first computing device provides the second computing devices with actions or commands relating to data delivery based on the device state. For example, the second computing devices are instructed to store the data, forward the data, forward only high priority data, or perform other actions. Managing the data delivery from the second computing devices preserves battery life of the first computing device.

Abstract: Managing power-consuming resources on a first computing device by time-based and condition-based scheduling of data delivery from a plurality of second computing devices. A scheduler executing on the first computing device has knowledge of recurrent schedules for activation by the second computing devices. The first computing device determines availability of the power-consuming resources and adjusts an activation time for the schedules to use the power-consuming resources when the resources are available. Managing the schedules associated with the second computing devices preserves battery life of the first computing device.

Abstract: A wireless e-mail messaging system is disclosed. The wireless e-mail messaging system includes a communications network. The wireless e-mail messaging system also includes a portable electronic device including a transceiver configured to establish a wireless link to the communications network. The portable electronic device includes a wake mode in which the wireless link is established and messages may be sent and received by the portable electronic device and a sleep mode in which the wireless link is not established and messages may not be sent and received by the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a program to randomly select a time to transition from the sleep mode to the wake mode during a predetermined time interval.
