Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of predicting an ambient temperature around a mobile device, wherein: a primary temperature sensor comprised in said mobile device measures a first temperature value; at least one secondary temperature sensor comprised in said mobile device measures a second temperature value; a processing unit comprised in said mobile device calculates a first prediction of an ambient temperature around the mobile device in dependence on the first temperature value and at least one parameter which is indicative of a thermal influence of one or more mobile device components on the measurements; the processing unit calculates a second prediction of said ambient temperature in dependence on the second temperature value and said parameter; the processing unit compares the first prediction with the second prediction and adjusts said parameter if the difference between the first prediction and the second prediction exceeds a predefined maximum. Furthermore, a corresponding computer program product and a corresponding mobile device are disclosed.
Abstract:
A controller configured to: receive an energy availability signal representative of an amount of electrical energy available for use by a sensor; receive one or more energy consumption signals representative of energy consumption rates associated with a plurality of respective predefined sensing states of the sensor, each sensing state having a distinct level of sensing functionality; and send a control signal to set the sensor to one of the predefined sensing states based on the energy consumption rate associated with that sensing state in combination with the amount of electrical energy available for use by the sensor.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of operating a mobile device, wherein: a temperature sensor comprised in said mobile device measures, at a first time instant, an initial temperature value; the temperature sensor measures, at a second time instant, a current temperature value; a processing unit comprised in said mobile device calculates an ambient temperature around the mobile device in dependence on the initial temperature value, the current temperature value and at least one further value which is indicative of a thermal influence of a mobile device component on the temperature sensor. Furthermore, a corresponding computer program product is disclosed, as well as a corresponding mobile device.
