System and method for controlling power consumption in a computer system based on user satisfaction
First Claim
1. A method for controlling power consumption in a computer system, comprising:
- for each of a plurality of interactive applications;
changing a discrete frequency at which a processor of the computer system runs;
receiving an indication of user satisfaction in response to the changed discrete frequency;
training the computer system to determine a relationship information between the changed discrete frequency and the user satisfaction of the interactive application, wherein the determined relationship distinguishes between different users and different interactive applications; and
storing the determined relationship information;
selecting a frequency of the discrete frequencies at which the processor of the computer system runs based on the determined relationship information for a particular user and a particular interactive application running on the processor of the computer system; and
adapting the processor of the computer system to run at the selected frequency.

Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling power consumption in a computer system. For each of a plurality of interactive applications, the method changes a frequency at which a processor of the computer system runs, receives an indication of user satisfaction, determines a relationship between the changed frequency and the user satisfaction of the interactive application, and stores the determined relationship information. The determined relationship can distinguish between different users and different interactive applications. A frequency may be selected from the discrete frequencies at which the processor of the computer system runs based on the determined relationship information for a particular user and a particular interactive application running on the processor of the computer system. The processor may be adapted to run at the selected frequency.
