METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE BATTERY NOTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a first electronic device with one or more processors and memory in communication with a second electronic device, cause the first electronic device to perform a method comprising:
- while in an inactive state, receiving an instruction from the second electronic device to wake from the inactive state;
in response to the instruction to wake from the inactive state, entering an active state;
while in the active state;
receiving an indication of a low battery level from the second electronic device;
in response to the indication of the low battery level, generating a notification of the low battery level of the second electronic device; and
after generating the notification of the low battery level, reentering the inactive state.

Abstract
There is a need to provide an intuitive way for a battery-powered device to send a low battery notification to another device that can properly notify a user that the battery-powered device has a low battery. The user can be notified by the other device even after the battery-powered device has exhausted its battery to the point where it can no longer report its battery state. A second electronic device (e.g., a remote control) can send a low battery notification to a first electronic device (e.g., a set-top box) so that the first electronic device can alert a user that the second electronic device has a low battery.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a second electronic device with one or more processors and memory in communication with a first electronic device, cause the second electronic device to perform a method comprising:
-
determining a battery level of the second electronic device; in accordance with a determination that the battery level is beneath a predetermined threshold; sending an instruction to wake from an inactive state to the first electronic device; and sending an indication of a low battery level to the first electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
