Abstract
Systems and methods for managing temperatures of wearable device components are disclosed. In one aspects, a method includes determining a temperature of an electronic component of the wearable device, determining a rate of temperature change of the electronic component, and determining whether to increase or decrease a transmission rate limit of the electronic component based on the temperature and the rate, adjusting the transmission rate limit based on the determination, and limiting a rate of transmission of the electronic component based on the adjusted transmission rate limit.
Claims20
A wearable electronic device, comprising:
- electronic hardware memory storing instructions that when executed by a hardware processing circuitry of the wearable electronic device, configures the hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- computing an amount of time for exchanging data with the wearable electronic device;
- determining a temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- computing a completion temperature of the wearable electronic device based on the amount of time for exchanging the data and the temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- and
- performing a transmission rate function associated with exchange of the data based on the completion temperature of the wearable electronic device.
A method comprising:
- computing, by one or more processors, an amount of time for exchanging data with a wearable electronic device;
- determining a temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- computing a completion temperature of the wearable electronic device based on the amount of time for exchanging the data and the temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- and
- performing a transmission rate function associated with exchange of the data based on the completion temperature of the wearable electronic device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- computing an amount of time for exchanging data with a wearable electronic device;
- determining a temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- computing a completion temperature of the wearable electronic device based on the amount of time for exchanging the data and the temperature of the wearable electronic device;
- and
- performing a transmission rate function associated with exchange of the data based on the completion temperature of the wearable electronic device.
