Abstract: The present embodiments provide a system that dynamically controls power consumption in a computing device. During operation, the system measures the performance of the computing device while executing a work-loop. Next, the system determines a derived completion time for the work-loop based on the measured performance. (For example, the derived completion time can be an expected completion time, a maximum completion time, or more generally a completion time distribution.) The system then determines a deadline-proximity for the work-loop based on a comparison between the derived completion time and a deadline for the work-loop. (For example, the deadline-proximity can be an expected deadline-proximity, a minimum deadline-proximity, or more generally a deadline-proximity distribution.) Finally, the system controls the power consumption of the computing device based on the determined deadline-proximity for the work-loop.

Abstract: A wearable device that attaches to a body part of a user via an attachment member operates in at least a connected and a disconnected state. One or more sensors located in the wearable device and/or the attachment member detect the user's body part when present. Such detection may only be performed when the attachment member is in a connected configuration and may be used to switch the wearable device between the connected and disconnected states. In this way, the wearable device operates in the connected state when worn by a user and in the disconnected state when not worn by the user.

Abstract translation: 经由附接构件附接到使用者的身体部位的可穿戴装置至少在连接状态和断开状态下工作。 位于可穿戴装置和/或附件中的一个或多个传感器在存在时检测使用者的身体部位。 这种检测可以仅在附接构件处于连接构造时执行，并且可以用于在可连接状态和断开状态之间切换可佩戴装置。 以这种方式，可穿戴装置在用户佩戴时处于连接状态，并且在未被用户佩戴的情况下处于断开状态。
