First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented by a mobile communications device, the method comprising:
- monitoring power consumption used by the mobile communications device while performing a plurality of tasks, the plurality of tasks comprising applications, network power profiles, data synchronization, media output, or telephone usage;
determining an amount of power that remains in a battery of the mobile communications device;
determining, based on the determined amount of power that remains in the battery and on the plurality of tasks, amounts of time that the mobile communications device can continue to operate;
while continuing to perform the plurality of tasks; and
while performing the plurality of tasks along with at least one additional task; and
displaying a user interface on a display device of the mobile communications device that describes the determined amounts of time that the mobile communications device can continue to operate, the determined amounts of time displayed simultaneously on the user interface;
while continuing to perform the plurality of tasks; and
while performing the plurality of tasks along with the at least one additional task.

Abstract
A user interface for power management of a mobile communications device is described. In an implementation, power consumption used in performance of a plurality of tasks is monitored by a mobile communications device. A determination is made as to an amount of power that remains in a battery of the mobile communications device. A user interface is displayed on a display device of the mobile communications device that describes an amount of time each of the plurality of tasks may be performed based on the determined amount of power that remains in the battery.
