Abstract: A method of controlling charging of an electronic device includes estimating a usage time value that corresponds to an anticipated future occurrence of usage of the electronic device; and estimating a resume time value that corresponds to a time for charging to commence to allow for completion of charging from a first predetermined state of charge value to a second predetermined state of charge value by the usage time value. The method also includes charging a battery of the electronic device using electrical power supplied by a charging device until a current state of charge of the battery reaches the first predetermined state of charge value, entering, by the electronic device, a deactivated mode after the current state of charge reaches the first predetermined state of charge value, and causing the electronic device to return to the activated mode according to the resume time value.

Abstract: A method that includes playing back audio content through a speaker of the headset at a volume setting; receiving a microphone signal that includes noise of an acoustic environment captured by a microphone of the headset; detecting a change to an environmental noise level of the noise based on the microphone signal; retrieving, from memory of the headset, an adapted volume setting to the changed environmental noise level, wherein the adapted volume setting is generated at least in part based on user context or user behavior; and adjusting playback of the audio content by transitioning the volume setting to the adapted volume setting.

Abstract: A method that includes determining a level of sound within an acoustic environment captured by a microphone; receiving, from a headset worn by a user, data indicating an audio processing mode in which the headset is operating; determining a level of attenuation of the sound based on the audio processing mode and the level of sound; estimating sound exposure based on at least the level of attenuation and the level of sound; and transmitting the sound exposure to an application program.
