First Claim
Patent Images
1. A battery-operated computing device, comprising:
- a processor;
a battery monitor configured to provide a time profile of battery power draw in the operation of the computing device;
an event logger configured to record events occurring in the operation of the computing device;
an overlay generator coupled to the battery monitor and the event logger, and configured to generate a graph showing time in a first axis and battery power draw in a second axis with text indicators describing the events at times that the events occurred; and
a display configured to display the generated graph.

Abstract
A battery-operated computing device collects data on battery power draw, and logs events and user actions occurring during device operation. A time profile or graph of the battery power draw is displayed on the computing device. The displayed time profile or graph of battery power draw is overlaid with markers or indicators of the logged events or user actions to highlight power hogging events or actions.
