Abstract

A mobile battery management system comprising receiving a battery management parameter by a client from a server over a communication path, detecting a battery control mode with the battery management parameter in the client, and operating the client based on the battery control mode and the battery management parameter.

Claims

1. A method for operating a mobile battery management system having a client comprising:

providing a battery management parameter from a server for receiving at the client based on a traffic condition;

using a battery control mode with the battery management parameter; and

operating a display of the client based on the battery control mode;

wherein using the battery control mode includes using a predetermined mode for controlling an audio operation of the client.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein providing the battery management parameter includes receiving navigation data.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein providing the battery management parameter includes receiving traffic data.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein using the battery control mode includes using a user selected parameter.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein using the battery control mode includes using a predetermined mode for controlling a GPS operation of the client.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein using the battery control mode includes using a predetermined mode for controlling an operation of the display.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein using the battery control mode includes using a predetermined mode for controlling a standby timing control.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein operating the display includes activating the display to show navigation data.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein operating the display includes activating the display to show traffic data.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein operating the display includes activating the display to show a user requested event.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein operating the display includes activating the display to show a predetermined event.

12. A method for operating a mobile power management system having a client comprising:

calculating a battery management parameter in a server based on a traffic condition;

sending the battery management parameter from the server for receiving the battery management parameter at the client;

using a battery control mode in the client with the battery management parameter; and

operating a display of the client based on the battery control mode;

wherein using the battery control mode includes using the battery management parameter for controlling an audio operation of the client.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein sending the battery management parameter includes sending navigation data.

14. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein sending the battery management parameter includes sending traffic data.

15. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein using the battery control mode includes using the battery management parameter for controlling a GPS operation of the client.

16. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein using the battery control mode includes using the battery management parameter for controlling a standby operation of the client.

17. The method as claimed in claim 12 further comprising calculating navigation information.

18. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein using the battery control mode includes using the battery management parameter for activating the client.
