    Abstract: This application is directed to a method for correct temperature measurement. An electronic device includes a temperature sensor that measures an ambient temperature of an environment and a display that is driven by a display driver. The electronic device determines a brightness setting of the display, estimates a display driver current based on the brightness setting, estimates a driver efficiency of the display driver based on the display driver current, and combines a predetermined display driver voltage, the display driver current, and the driver efficiency to determine a power consumption of the display driver. An ambient temperature correction is determined in accordance with the determined power consumption of the display driver, and the measured ambient temperature is thereby corrected using the ambient temperature correction. In some implementations, a power consumption of a distinct heat-generating electronic component is also monitored for adjusting the ambient temperature correction.

    Abstract: The present document describes techniques for safe battery charging during high ambient temperatures. These techniques extend device runtime during peak use periods when ambient temperature is high by increasing the possibility for battery charging during high ambient temperature conditions. In an example, a device, during high ambient temperatures, checks future ambient temperatures over a network to identify if the minimum future ambient temperature over a block of time within the next N number of days is predicted to be sufficiently low that, when combined with device-performance throttling, is estimated to reduce the temperature of the battery to below the maximum charge temperature to enable the battery to be safely charged. The device can also use the future ambient temperatures to budget current battery usage by implementing and/or adjusting device-performance throttling.
