POWER MANAGEMENT IN BATTERY POWERED COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17520768 titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT IN BATTERY POWERED COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a battery-powered device that includes a baseband modem and a processor. The baseband modem is responsible for receiving and sending data related to a software application running on the device. The processor determines the resource requirement of the software application and sends a signal to the baseband modem. Based on this signal, the baseband modem can switch between different operational modes.

  • The device has a baseband modem that handles data communication for a software application.
  • The processor determines the resource requirement of the software application.
  • The processor sends a signal to the baseband modem indicating the resource requirement.
  • The baseband modem can change its operational mode based on the received signal.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets that require efficient data communication for software applications.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need to optimize their power usage while maintaining data connectivity.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient resource management: The device can dynamically adjust its operational mode based on the resource requirement of the software application, optimizing power usage.
  • Seamless data communication: The baseband modem can switch between operational modes without interrupting the data flow, ensuring continuous connectivity.

Benefits

  • Improved battery life: By adjusting the operational mode based on resource requirements, the device can conserve power and extend battery life.
  • Enhanced user experience: The device can maintain a stable and uninterrupted data connection, providing a seamless experience for the user.
  • Efficient resource allocation: The processor can accurately determine the resource requirement, allowing for optimal allocation of resources and improved performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A battery-powered device includes a baseband modem, configured to receive or send data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on the battery-powered device; and a processor, configured to determine a resource requirement of the software application; and send a signal representing the determined resource requirement to the baseband modem; wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal.
