Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a battery accessible to the processor and that powers the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to predict a discharge amount of the battery that is to occur within a predefined time and, based on the prediction, determine a frequency at which the battery is to be charged.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a battery accessible to the at least one processor and that powers the at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- predict an application that is to be executed at the device within the next day and determine whether the battery has enough power to last through the next day based at least in part on the application predicted to be executed;
- based on the prediction and the determination of whether the battery has enough power to last through the next day, determine a first time in the future at which the battery is to be charged;
- and
- provide a notification at the device that indicates that the battery is to be charged at least by the first time.

A method, comprising:
- predicting an application that is to be executed at a device within the next day and determining whether a battery of the device has enough power to last through the next day based at least in part on the application predicted to be executed;
- based on the predicting and the determining of whether the battery has enough power to last through the next day, determining a first time in the future at which the battery is to be charged;
- and
- providing a notification at the device that indicates that the battery is to be charged at least by the first time.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first processor;
- a network adapter;
- and
- storage comprising instructions executable by a second processor of a device for:
- predicting an application that is to be executed at the device within the next day and determining whether a battery of the device has enough power to last through the next day based at least in part on the application predicted to be executed;
- based on the predicting and the determining of whether the battery has enough power to last through the next day, determining a first time in the future at which the battery is to be charged;
- and
- providing a notification at the device that indicates that the battery is to be charged at least by the first time;
- wherein the first processor transfers the instructions to the device over a network via the network adapter.
