Model-based determination of power source replacement in wireless and other devices
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processing module configured to process data associated with a device and a power source associated with the device to predict an operating life of the power source by modeling real-time power consumption of the device using at least one of;
a logarithmic curve fitting method and an exponential curve fitting method;
wherein the data associated with the device and the power source comprises historical data; and
wherein the processing module is configured to model the real-time power consumption of the device by applying at least one of the logarithmic curve fitting method and the exponential curve fitting method to the historical data to predict operating life of the power source.

Abstract
A model-based system and method for analyzing power source performance and optimizing operational costs are provided. Data from the power source (such as a battery) and/or a device associated with the power source is analyzed and processed to predict an operating life of the power source. This could allow, for example, a power source replacement schedule to be generated for the device. If the analysis indicates that abnormal conditions exist or that any user-defined alerts are warranted, a message could also be sent to an operator terminal. The system and method may continue to monitor the device and thus provide real-time data. The data may also be stored in memory, collected over time, and analyzed or used in various ways. The system and method thus provide a cost effective and reliable analysis of power source performance and any associated operational and replacement costs.
