SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MANAGE PROCESSES OF A MOBILE DEVICE BASED ON AVAILABLE POWER RESOURCES
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a user selection of a scheduled program to be received at a mobile device;
a battery threshold calculator configured to determine a battery charge threshold based on at least one of a duration of the scheduled program and a processing complexity of the scheduled program; and
an alert generator configured to generate a battery alert notification prior to receiving the scheduled program in response to a determination that a battery charge of the mobile device at a starting time of the scheduled program does not satisfy the battery charge threshold.

Abstract
A system and method to manage processes of a mobile device based on available power resources is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed that includes an interface configured to receive a user selection of a scheduled program to be received at a mobile device. The apparatus also includes a battery threshold calculator configured to determine a battery charge threshold based on at least one of a duration of the scheduled program and a processing complexity of the scheduled program. The apparatus includes an alert generator configured to generate a battery alert notification prior to receiving the scheduled program in response to a determination that a battery charge of the mobile device at a starting time of the scheduled program does not satisfy the battery charge threshold.

23. A computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
-
receive a user selection of a scheduled program to be received at the mobile device; determine a battery charge threshold based on at least one of a duration of the scheduled program and a processing complexity of the scheduled program; determine an estimated battery charge of the mobile device at a starting time of the scheduled program; and generate a battery alert notification prior to receiving the scheduled program in response to determining that the estimated battery charge of the mobile device does not satisfy the battery charge threshold. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
