Abstract
A method for maximizing a battery life and a temperature monitoring device are provided. The method includes detecting whether a low temperature mode is set in the temperature monitoring device; when the low temperature mode is detected, implementing a plurality of measures to enhance the battery life of the temperature monitoring device. The temperature monitoring device includes a memory, a button coupled with a light emitting diode unit, a battery and a processor. The temperature monitoring device is able to implement the method for maximizing life of the battery.
Claims21
A method for maximizing a battery life of a temperature monitoring device, the method comprising:
- detecting whether a low temperature mode is set in the temperature monitoring device;
- and
- when the low temperature mode is detected, implementing a plurality of measures to enhance the battery life of the temperature monitoring device,
- wherein the plurality of measures to enhance the battery life include at least one of:
- delay of a restart to the Bluetooth advertising after a Bluetooth connection is terminated;
- or
- delay of blinking a light emitting diode of the temperature monitoring device for a period of time after a Bluetooth connection is terminated.
A temperature monitoring device, comprising:
- a memory;
- a button coupled with a light emitting diode unit;
- a battery;
- and
- a processor configured to detect whether a low temperature mode is set in the temperature monitoring device,
- when the low temperature mode is detected, the processor is configured to implement a plurality of measures to enhance the battery life of the temperature monitoring device,
- wherein the plurality of measures configured to be implemented by the processor to enhance the battery life of the temperature monitoring device include:
- delay of a restart to the Bluetooth advertising after a Bluetooth connection is terminated;
- or
- delay of blinking a light emitting diode of the temperature monitoring device for a period of time after a Bluetooth connection is terminated.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having code stored thereon, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- detect whether a low temperature mode is set in a temperature monitoring device,
- when the low temperature mode is detected, implement a plurality of measures to enhance the battery life of the temperature monitoring device,
- wherein the plurality of measures to enhance the battery life include at least one of:
- delay of a restart to the Bluetooth advertising after a Bluetooth connection is terminated;
- or
- delay of blinking a light emitting diode of the temperature monitoring device for a period of time after a Bluetooth connection is terminated.
