Method for utilization of active power profiles used in prediction of power reserves for remote devices

An article comprising machine-readable storage media containing instructions that when executed by a processor enable the processor to perform a dynamic determination for the utilization of remote device applications based on historical application usage patterns, application power requirements, and available power reserves stored on a remote device, wherein the remote device comprises:

• laptop computers, mobile computing devices, mobile communication devices, and personal digital assistants (PDA);
• wherein the instructions comprise algorithms for implementing a power budget;
• and
• wherein the algorithm further comprises:
• defining a set of individual applications and activities on a remote device;
• determining a rate of power consumption per unit of time for each of the set of individual applications and activities;
• determining usage patterns of the set of individual applications and activities;
• determining a total expected power usage;
• comparing the total expected power usage to the available power reserves;
• and
• implementing the power budget whenever the total expected power usage exceeds the available power reserves.
