Power consumption management for the playback of multimedia messages
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically managing available power for an electronic device based on energy units required by a multimedia message, the method comprising:
- receiving a multimedia message, wherein at least one media component of the multimedia message corresponds to an energy profile;
determining a current state of an energy source of an electronic device; and
inhibiting playback of the at least one media component corresponding to the energy profile if the determined current state of the energy source is below a predefined energy threshold.

Abstract
A method, computer program, and a wireless device (104) dynamically manages available power for the wireless device (104) based on energy units required by a multimedia message. The wireless device (104) receives a multimedia message that has at least one of its media components corresponding to an energy profile (408). The wireless device (104) determines a current state of an energy source of the wireless device (104). The wireless device (104) inhibits playback of the at least one media component corresponding to the energy profile (408) if the determined current state of the energy source is below a predefined energy threshold.
