    Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide application-specific launch optimization. Aspects of the present disclosure include one or more cost functions for each application, where each cost function corresponds to a likelihood that a particular application should be placed into a particular pre-activation state. For each of the inactive applications, a respective one of the pre-activation states is selected based on comparing cost values obtained by evaluating the cost functions. Each of the inactive applications can be moved to or maintained in the respectively-selected pre-activation state to more efficiently provide an expedited application launch experience for a user.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a power system. The power system may receive power such as wireless power or wired power and may use a portion of the received power to charge a battery. Power consumption by control circuitry in the device can be adjusted by deactivating or activating processor cores in the control circuitry and by selectively starting or stopping software activities. By selectively reducing power consumption by circuitry in the electronic device other than battery charging circuitry in the power system that is charging the battery, additional power may be made available to charge the battery and/or battery capacity can be extended. The electronic device may reduce non-battery-charging activities in the device in response to information gathered with sensors such as motion and temperature information, information from the power system, information on device location, information on software settings, and other information.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a power system including a battery and a processor programmed to detect connection of an external power source to the electronic device, determine an estimated disconnection time at which the external power source is expected to be disconnected from the electronic device, analyze power grid data corresponding to the external power source to identify one or more desired battery charging intervals and one or more undesired battery charging intervals prior to the estimated disconnection time, and operate the power system to charge the battery from the external power source during the identified one or more desired battery charging intervals and inhibit battery charging during the one or more undesired battery charging intervals. The processor can be programmed to inhibit battery charging by reducing the rate at which the battery charges or by preventing battery charging.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a power system with a battery. The power system receives power such as wireless power or wired power and uses a portion of the received power to charge the battery as needed. Control circuitry in the portable electronic device is used to run background processes such as image processing tasks, data synchronization tasks, indexing, and other background processes. In some circumstances, such as when the battery is below a certain state of charge threshold, background processes may be stopped so that the battery is charged as fast as possible. Once above this initial state of charge threshold, background processes may be performed during charging as long as the temperature and state of charge of the battery do not exceed safety temperature and safety state of charge values. Performing background processes in these conditions ensures requisite background processing tasks are completed while preserving battery health.
