Abstract
A user interface for power management of a mobile communications device is described. In an implementation, power consumption used in performance of a plurality of tasks is monitored by a mobile communications device. A determination is made as to an amount of power that remains in a battery of the mobile communications device. A user interface is displayed on a display device of the mobile communications device that describes an amount of time each of the plurality of tasks may be performed based on the determined amount of power that remains in the battery.

- 13. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that are executable by a mobile communications device to provide an operating system that is executable to determine battery usage of the mobile communications device to perform one or more tasks and expose data generated from the determined usage via an application programming interface (API) to one or more applications that are executable on the mobile communications device to adjust power consumption by the one or more applications.

18. A mobile communications device comprising:
-
a battery; a processor; and memory configured to maintain instructions that are executable on the processor to; monitor an amount of power that remains in the battery; and if the amount of power drops below a threshold level that is set to enable a telephone call, restrict telephone calls from being performed that are directed at a non-emergency telephone numbers. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
