Abstract
Methods of operating a mobile device are provided. A method of operating a mobile device includes calculating a mean power consumption with respect to a time duration, using a measured power consumption or using an estimated power consumption. The method includes comparing a performance constraint standard with the mean power consumption. Moreover, the method includes constraining performance of the mobile device, using an application processor of the mobile device, in response to determining that the mean power consumption exceeds the performance constraint standard. Related mobile devices are also provided.

A method of operating a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an analog selection with respect to a performance-based operation and a power-saving-based operation of the mobile device through a user interface, and adjusting each of a first performance constraint standard value, a second performance constraint standard value, and a third performance constraint standard value, based on the analog selection;
- measuring power consumption of the mobile device in real-time, using a current meter to provide a measured power consumption, or estimating the power consumption in real-time to provide an estimated power consumption;
- calculating, by a processor, a mean power consumption of each of a first time duration, a second time duration, and a third time duration, using the measured power consumption or using the estimated power consumption;
- comparing, by the processor, the first performance constraint standard value with the mean power consumption of the first time duration, the second performance constraint standard value with the mean power consumption of the second time duration, and the third performance constraint standard value with the mean power consumption of the third time duration;
- and
- non-uniformly constraining, by the processor, performance of the mobile device in each of the first through third time durations, based on the comparing.
