    Abstract: Device, system and method to control at least one electrical circuit to enter a low efficiency mode to heat a battery cell is provided. A temperature measurement device and battery cell parameter determination device respectively determine a temperature and impedance of a battery cell of a device. When the temperature of the battery cell is below a threshold temperature and the impedance of the battery cell is above a threshold impedance, a controller of the device controls at an electrical circuit of the device to enter a low efficiency mode by controlling the electrical circuit to draw an auxiliary current from the battery cell to heat the battery cell, the auxiliary current being below a given functional operating current of the electrical circuit, the electrical circuit having reduced functionality, relative to a given functionality when drawing a given functional operating current from the battery cell, while drawing the auxiliary current.

    Abstract: A device, method and system for throttling current and/or power to peripherals is provided. A device comprises peripherals powered by a power source. The device further comprises a throttling circuit configured to: in response to receiving a given interrupt, cause throttling of respective currents to a given subset of the peripherals. The device further comprises a sensing circuit configured to: in response to determining that a sensed current from the power source exceeds a threshold current, provide the given interrupt to the throttling circuit. The device further comprises a primary processor configured to: determine the threshold current based at least on a predetermined maximum current of a presently prioritized peripheral; and provide the threshold current to the sensing circuit. The device further comprises a secondary processor configured to: determine the given subset of the peripherals based on an available current overhead.

    Abstract: A device and method for switching between message threads is provided. The device includes: a communication interface; a display device; and, a controller. The controller is configured to: generate, at the display device, a first message thread of a plurality of message threads, each message thread comprising groups of associated messages transmitted and received by the communication interface; identify a message portion in the first message thread as being associated with one or more other message threads of the plurality of message threads, based on one or more of: respective content and respective metadata of the one or more other message threads; and, generate, at the display device, a link to the one or more other message threads.
