HIBERNATION OF COMPUTING DEVICE WITH FAULTY BATTERIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959581 titled 'HIBERNATION OF COMPUTING DEVICE WITH FAULTY BATTERIES
Simplified Explanation
Tasks are selected for hibernation based on user preferences and battery power thresholds, taking into account hardware resource usage and battery health. A penalty score is determined for tasks considering user preferences and task performance metrics. Tasks are then put into hibernation or sleep mode based on their penalty score during specific battery power thresholds.
- User preferences and battery power thresholds dictate task hibernation/sleep
- Penalty score calculated based on user preferences and task performance metrics
- Tasks put into hibernation or sleep mode based on penalty score during battery power thresholds
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in mobile devices, laptops, and other battery-powered devices to optimize battery usage and performance.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in extending battery life by efficiently managing tasks based on user preferences and performance metrics.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved battery life, enhanced user experience, and optimized task management on battery-powered devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include mobile device manufacturers, laptop manufacturers, and software developers looking to improve battery efficiency in their products.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing task management systems on mobile devices and laptops that optimize battery usage, but may not take into account user preferences and specific performance metrics.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall device performance?
This article does not delve into the potential impact of task hibernation and sleep modes on the overall performance of the device. It would be interesting to explore whether there are any trade-offs in performance for the sake of battery optimization.
What are the potential security implications of task hibernation and sleep modes?
The article does not address any security concerns that may arise from putting tasks into hibernation or sleep modes. It would be important to investigate whether there are any vulnerabilities introduced by this technology that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Original Abstract Submitted
Tasks are selected for hibernation by recording user preferences for tasks having no penalty for hibernation and sleep; and assigning thresholds for battery power at which tasks are selected for a least one of hibernation and sleep. The assigning of the thresholds for battery power include considering current usage of hardware resources by a user and battery health per battery segment. A penalty score is determined for tasks based upon the user preferences for tasks having no penalty, and task performance including at least one of frequency of utilization, memory utilization, task dependency characteristics and task memory hierarchy. The penalty performance is a value including both the user preference and the task performance. Tasks can then be put into at least one of hibernation mode and sleep mode dictated by their penalty performance during the thresholds for battery power.
