First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring, by a wireless electronic device, user input events associated with the wireless electronic device over a period of time;
identifying, by the wireless electronic device, a usage pattern associated with the wireless electronic device based at least in part on the monitored user input events, the usage pattern indicating varying levels of usage over the period of time; and
independently controlling, by the wireless electronic device, an operating mode associated with the wireless electronic device over another period of time based on the usage pattern, the another period of time being similar to the period of time in one or more characteristics.
