1. A system for communicating with a wireless-enabled device, comprising:
- an input for receiving from the device a signal indicative of the device being in a de-powered operational state, along with an indication of a charge level of a main power source of said device;
a functional entity configured to determine, on a basis of (i) knowledge that the device is in the de-powered operational state and (ii) context information regarding the device, a first action to be taken by the device while in the de-powered operational state, and to determine a second action to be taken based on the indication of the charge level of the main power source of said device and based on a rate of change of said charge level; and
an output for causing transmission of a message to the device, said message for causing the device to take said first and second actions while in the de-powered operational state.

Abstract
A system for communicating with a wireless-enabled device. The system comprises an input for receiving from the device a signal indicative of the device being in a de-powered operational state; a functional entity configured to determine, on a basis of (i) knowledge that the device is in the de-powered operational state and (ii) context information regarding the device, a certain action to be taken by the device while in the de-powered operational state; and an output for causing transmission of a message to the device, wherein the message is for causing the device to take the certain action while in the de-powered operational state.

16. A system for communicating with a wireless-enabled device, comprising:
-
an input for receiving location data from the device, the location data being emitted by the device in accordance with a signaling scheme, and for receiving from said device an indication of a charge level of a main power source of said device; a location functional entity configured to determine a location of the device based on the location data; a context functional entity configured to determine, as a function of a trajectory of the device determined from at least two instances of the location of the device determined by the location functional entity, a modification to be made to the signaling scheme, and to determine an action to be taken based on the indication of the charge level of the main power source of said device and based on a rate of change of said charge level; and an output for sending a message to the device, said message for causing the device to effect said modification to the signaling scheme, and for causing the action to be taken. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system for communicating with a wireless-enabled device, comprising:
-
an input for receiving from said device an indication of a charge level of a main power source of said device; a functional entity configured to determine an action to be taken based on the indication of the charge level of the main power source of said device and based on a rate of change of said charge level; the functional entity being configured to cause said action to be taken.
