INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AIMING AT THE REDUCTION OF THEIR OWN ENERGY USE ## Abstract A device may receive power management information associated with a wearable device. The power management information may identify a power management trigger associated with the wearable device, and the wearable device may be different from the device. The device may detect the power management trigger associated with the wearable device. The device may prevent, based on detecting the power management trigger, transmissions by the device to the wearable device. The transmissions may be associated with notifications for an application executing on the wearable device. The power management information may indicate that the device is to prevent the transmissions associated with the notifications for the application. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device, comprising: a memory;
