US 12,117,885 B2 · Electronic device power consumption grading

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for electronic device power consumption grading. In some examples, similar electronic devices may consume different amounts of power due to variations in components of the electronic devices. The components can include electrical components (e.g., discrete circuits, integrated circuits, etc.), mechanical components (e.g., motors, traces, etc.), electro-mechanical components (e.g., switches, motors, piezoelectric devices, etc.). Power consumption information for specific components can be determined and a power consumption grading for the specific electronic device can be determined from the power consumption information. A user may then utilize the power consumption grading to optimize a usage of the electronic device.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

determining a power consumption indicator for one or more components of an electronic device via power rating equipment during factory testing, including:
determining an idle power consumption for the one or more components representing power consumption when the electronic device is idle;
determining an active power consumption for the one or more components representing power consumption when the electronic device is active;
determining a power consumption grade from the power consumption indicator based on the idle power consumption and the active power consumption, the power consumption grade representing a relative power consumption level of the electronic device;
and
providing the power consumption grade of the electronic device to a user for effective utilization of the electronic device based on the power consumption grade.
