Abstract
A power management system comprises a power management module configured to determine a power draw limit for operating an electronic device by a power source, the power management module configured to control use of power-consuming elements of the electronic device based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit a power draw by the electronic device from the power source to the power draw limit.
Claims34
A power management system, comprising:
- a power management module configured to determine a power draw limit for operating an electronic device by a power source, the power management module configured to control use of power-consuming elements of the electronic device based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit a power draw by the electronic device from the power source to the power draw limit.
A power management system, comprising:
- means for determining a power draw limit for operating an electronic means by a power means;
- and
- means for controlling use of power-consuming elements of the electronic means based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit a power draw by the electronic means from the power means to the power draw limit.
A power management method, comprising:
- determining a power draw limit for operating an electronic device by a power source;
- and
- controlling use of power-consuming elements of the electronic device based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit a power draw by the electronic device from the power source to the power draw limit.
A power management system, comprising:
- a power management module configured to determine a power draw limit setting for an electronic device, the power management module configured to dynamically control use of at least one power-consuming element of the electronic device to limit a power draw by the electronic device from a power source to the power draw limit setting.
