1. A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a user device, first data at a first transmit power level;
transmitting, by the user device, second data at a second transmit power level;
detecting, by the user device, a presence of a human body part within a predetermined distance from an antenna of the user device using one or more sensors;
determining, by the user device, a third transmit power level that is less than the second transmit power level, wherein a difference between the second transmit power level and the third transmit power level is based on a combination of the first transmit power level and the second transmit power level; and
transmitting, by the user device, third data at the third transmit power level.

Abstract
A user device transmits data at a first transmit power level. The user device detects a presence of a human body part within a predetermined distance from an antenna of the user device using one or more sensors disposed at a back side of the user device. In response to the detection of the presence of the human body part, the user device transmits information at a second transmit power level that is less than the first transmit power level.

12. A user device comprising:
-
an antenna to transmit data at various power levels; a sensor to detect a presence of a human body part within a predetermined distance from the antenna; and a processing device, coupled to the antenna and the sensor, to; cause the antenna to transmit first data at a first transmit power level; cause the antenna to transmit second data at a second transmit power level; and responsive to detection of the presence of the human body part by the sensor, perform the following comprising; determine a third transmit power level that is less than the second transmit power level, wherein a difference between the second transmit power level and the third transmit power level is based on a combination of the first transmit power level and the second transmit power level; and cause the antenna to transmit third data at the third transmit power level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
