Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that may estimate the power being consumed by an OLED display screen of an electronic device, may provide further information about that power usage, may modify or change functions performed by the electronic device based on that power usage, and may inform an application's developer about the amount of power being used by the electronic device while the electronic device is running the application. One example may estimate the power being used by an OLED display screen of an electronic device by determining the content of images being displayed during a duration. The estimated power may then be presented to a user. The estimated power may be used in decisions to modify or change parameters of the screen or other device components.

Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure relates to low temperature power throttling at a mobile device to reduce the likelihood of an unexpected power down event in cold weather environments. A mobile device employing a power management solution may be configured to determine that a monitored temperature at the mobile device (at the battery of the mobile device) is below a first threshold level, and whether a hardware component (such as a camera) is active or inactive. Then, based on these determinations, the mobile device can select a throttle setting from a first set of throttle settings when the hardware component is active, and a second set of throttle settings when the hardware component is inactive. Subsequently the mobile device can throttle power consumption for one or more components of the mobile device according to the selected throttle setting.

Abstract translation: 本公开的主题涉及在移动设备处的低温功率节流，以减少在寒冷天气环境中意外停电事件的可能性。 采用电源管理解决方案的移动设备可以被配置为确定移动设备（在移动设备的电池处）处的监控温度低于第一阈值水平，以及硬件组件（诸如照相机）是否是活动的 或不活动。 然后，基于这些确定，当硬件组件处于活动状态时，移动设备可以从第一组节气门设置选择节气门设置，以及当硬件组件不活动时可以选择第二组节气门设置。 随后，移动设备可以根据所选择的节气门设置来节省移动设备的一个或多个组件的功率消耗。
