Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for adaptive settings for a device. An example method can comprise utilizing a first configuration setting for a feature in a device, detecting a change in a device factor, and utilizing a second configuration setting for the feature in the device in response to the detected change. Another example method can comprise detecting a change in a device factor, activating a device feature, determining whether a change threshold has been exceeded, and updating a configuration setting for a device feature if the change threshold has been exceeded.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- causing, by a device, a sensor to use a first sensitivity level;
- causing, based on a detection by the sensor using the first sensitivity level of a change of a plurality of changes in a device factor, a feature to be activated and the sensor to use a second sensitivity level;
- determining, based on a detection by the sensor using the second sensitivity level of the plurality of changes, that a frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfies a frequency threshold;
- and
- causing, based on the frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfying the frequency threshold, a timeout period associated with the feature to be extended, wherein the feature is deactivated upon an expiration of the timeout period.
A method comprising:
- causing, based on a detection by a sensor using a first sensitivity level of at least one change of a plurality of changes in a device factor, a device feature of a device to be activated and the sensor to use a second sensitivity level;
- determining, based on a detection by the sensor using the second sensitivity level of the plurality of changes, that a frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfies a frequency threshold;
- and
- causing, based on the frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfying the frequency threshold, a first timeout period associated with the device feature to be changed to a second timeout period, wherein the device feature is deactivated upon an expiration of the second timeout period.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the apparatus to:
- cause a sensor to use a first sensitivity level;
- cause, based on a detection by the sensor using the first sensitivity level of a change of a plurality of changes in a device factor, a feature to be activated and the sensor to use a second sensitivity level;
- determine, based on a detection by the sensor using the second sensitivity level of the plurality of changes, that a frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfies a frequency threshold;
- and
- cause, based on the frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfying the frequency threshold, a timeout period associated with the device factor to be extended, wherein the feature is deactivated upon an expiration of the timeout period.
