Startup control of devices
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an interface operatively coupled with a plurality of power consuming devices of an associated power consuming system; and
control logic coupled with the interface;
wherein the control logic is operable in a plurality of modes comprising at least a first mode and a second mode;
wherein the control logic is operable in the first mode to perform processing for determining a presence of a first condition of the associated power consuming system;
wherein the control logic is operable in the first mode to selectively activate one or more of the plurality of power consuming devices of the associated system, via the interface, responsive to determining the presence of the first condition;
wherein the control logic is operable in the second mode to suspend, via the interface, the processing for determining the presence of the first condition of the associated power consuming system;
wherein the control logic selectively transitions from the first mode to the second mode and remains in the second mode in accordance with a stochastic modeling of the presence of the first condition over time.

Abstract
Controlled startup of devices is based on dynamic statistical predictions. Timely startup of onboard associated vehicle devices is based on dynamic statistical predictions and driver proximity to the vehicle. An apparatus for timely startup includes an interface operatively coupled with a power consuming device and control logic coupled with the interface. The control logic is operable in a first mode to perform processing for determining a presence of a first condition of the vehicle, and to selectively activate the power consuming device of the vehicle, via the interface, responsive to determining the presence of the first condition. The control logic is operable in a second mode to suspend, via the interface, the processing for determining the presence of the first condition of the vehicle. The control logic selectively transitions between the first and second modes in accordance with a stochastic modeling of the presence of the first condition over time.
