METHOD AND SYSTEM TO CONTROL EARLY BATTERY END OF LIFE EVENTS ON MULTI-TRANSCEIVER SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method to handle early end of life (EOL) battery indications on a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving an indication for an end of life (EOL) event;
determining an operating mode in view of the EOL event;
determining whether the mobile device is in muliple transmit communication;
evaluating a battery level of the mobile device; and
performing an action in response to the EOL event for mitigating an early shutdown of the mobile device based on the operating mode, the battery level, or the multiple transmit communication for allowing continued current drain on the battery and prolonging a use of the mobile device.

Abstract
A mobile device (102) and method (500) for handling early end of life (EOL) battery indications is provided. The method can include receiving (502) an indication for an end of life (EOL) event, determining (504) an operating mode (704/706) in view of the EOL event (708), determining (506) whether the mobile device is in multiple transmit communication (710), evaluating (508) a battery level of the mobile device, and performing (510) an action (714) in response to the EOL event for mitigating an early shutdown of the mobile device. An action can include masking a low battery alert corresponding to the EOL event, limiting at least one service associated the operating mode, or shutting down the mobile device.

8. A method for handling low battery conditions on a mobile device, comprising:
-
monitoring the mobile device for an end of life (EOL) event; determining an operating mode of at least one transceiver associated with the EOL event; determining whether the EOL event is due to a multi-transceiver configuration; evaluating a battery level of the mobile device; and performing an action in response to the EOL event for mitigating an early shutdown of the mobile device based on the operating mode, the multi-transceiver configuration, or the battery level. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mobile device to control early battery end of life events, comprising:
-
a battery for providing power to the mobile device; at least one transceiver cooperatively coupled to the battery for providing communications; and a processor coupled to the at least one transceiver and the battery for monitoring an end of life (EOL) event due to multiple transmit activity of the at least one transceiver; determining an operating mode of the at least one transceiver associated with the EOL event; and masking the EOL event in view of the operating mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
