Abstract: This application relates to techniques that adjust the sleep states of a computing device based on user proximity detection procedures. The technique includes detecting a first pattern, using a first subset of sensors of one or more sensors coupled to the computing device, to determine if the object is proximate to the computing device. Provided the first pattern is not indicative of the object being proximate to the computing device, the technique detects a second pattern, using a second subset of sensors of the one or more sensors, to determine if the object is proximate to the computing device. Furthermore, provided either the first pattern or the second pattern is indicative of the object being proximate to the computing device and provided a first portion of a computer system within the computing device is operating within a low-power sleep state, the technique causes the first portion to enter into a high-power sleep state.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to a method of, after hitting a UVLO threshold, rebooting an electronic device in a low power mode having a lower UVLO threshold, such that the device can continue to be used past the first UVLO threshold. For example, in a high power mode, the device may be capable of a number of functionalities of a modern portable electronic device, such as network access, the ability to run applications, Bluetooth connections, etc. In a low power mode, the device may only be able to check and display a current time, play an alarm sound at a predefined time, perform near field communication (NFC) transactions/payments, among other possibilities described herein. The limited functionality and reduced usage of peripherals in the low power mode may prevent the battery from experiencing peaks in current level that may be problematic at relatively low levels of voltage.

Abstract translation: 本公开的示例涉及在击中UVLO阈值之后以具有较低UVLO阈值的低功率模式重新启动电子设备的方法,使得该设备可以继续使用超过第一UVLO阈值。 例如,在高功率模式下,该设备可以具有现代便携式电子设备的许多功能,诸如网络接入,运行应用的能力,蓝牙连接等。在低功率模式下,设备 可能只能检查和显示当前时间,在预定义的时间播放闹钟声音,执行近场通信(NFC)交易/支付以及此处描述的其他可能性。 在低功率模式下,外围设备的有限功能和减少的使用可能会阻止电池在电流水平上出现峰值,这在相对低的电压水平下可能是有问题的。
