THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838403 titled 'THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for managing thermal profiles in an electronic device. This system allows the device to adjust its thermal profile based on different contexts or situations.

  • The device can be set to a specific thermal profile based on the context it is in.
  • If the context changes, the device can automatically switch to a different thermal profile.
  • The device can switch to the new thermal profile either through user input or automatically without user intervention.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices that generate heat during operation.
  • It can be used in gaming consoles to optimize thermal management during gameplay.
  • It can be implemented in servers and data centers to improve cooling efficiency and prevent overheating.

Problems Solved

  • Overheating is a common issue in electronic devices, which can lead to performance degradation and even hardware damage. This technology helps prevent overheating by dynamically adjusting the device's thermal profile.
  • Different usage scenarios and contexts require different levels of thermal management. This system solves the problem of manually adjusting the thermal profile by automatically adapting to the current context.

Benefits

  • Improved performance: By managing the thermal profile, the device can maintain optimal operating temperatures, resulting in better performance and reduced throttling.
  • Enhanced user experience: The device can adapt to different usage scenarios, ensuring a comfortable temperature for the user and preventing discomfort caused by excessive heat.
  • Extended device lifespan: By preventing overheating, this technology can help prolong the lifespan of electronic devices by reducing the risk of hardware failures.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for managing thermal profiles for an electronic device. For example, a method may include setting an electronic device to first thermal profile based on a first context, receiving a context change indicating that the electronic device is associated with a second context and, based on the second context, setting the electronic device to a second thermal profile. The setting of the electronic device to the second thermal profile can occur in an interactive mode in which user input is received or a non-interactive mode in which the electronic device automatically selects the second thermal profile.
