Wireless telephone having adaptable power consumption
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting power consumption by a wireless device having a codec and a battery, said codec having a plurality of states of operation, said battery having a plurality of power levels, said method comprising:
- operating said wireless device at a first power level of said plurality of power levels and a first state of said plurality of states of operation, while in communication with a remote device;
receiving a power level indication indicative of a second power level of said plurality of power levels;
selecting a second state of said plurality of states of operation for said codec corresponding to said second power level of said plurality of power levels; and
modifying said codec to operate at said second state of said plurality of states of operation.

14. A wireless device having adaptable power consumption, said wireless device comprising:
-
a battery having a plurality of power levels;
a codec having a plurality of states of operation; and
a power management module configured to monitor a power level of said battery and provide a power level indication to said codec based on said power level;
wherein said wireless device operates at a first power level of said plurality of power levels and a first state of said plurality of states of operation, while in communication with a remote device, and wherein said power management module provides said power level indication to said codec indicative of a second power level of said plurality of power levels, and wherein said codec selects a second state of said plurality of states of operation corresponding to said second power level of said plurality of power levels and modifies said codec to operate at said second state of said plurality of states of operation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
