Abstract
According to one general aspect, a method may include monitoring, by a computing device, a user's current behavior in regards to the computing device. The method may also include determining whether to place the computing device in a reduced power mode based upon the user's monitored current behavior and based on a history of user habits in regards to one or more computing devices. In various implementations, the method may further include, if it is determined to place the computing device in the reduced power mode, placing the computing device in the reduced power mode.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a history of user habits for a user of the computing device in regards to one or more computing devices from a remote repository;
- monitoring, by the computing device, the user's current behavior in regards to the computing device;
- transmitting information associated with the monitored user's current behavior to the remote repository;
- determining whether to place the computing device in a reduced power mode based upon the user's monitored current behavior and based on the history of user habits for the user;
- and
- if it is determined to place the computing device in the reduced power mode, placing the computing device in the reduced power mode.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory configured to store executable code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the apparatus to:
- receive a history of user habits for a user of the apparatus in regards to one or more computing devices from a remote repository;
- monitor the user's current behavior in regards to the apparatus;
- transmit information associated with the monitored user's current behavior to the remote repository;
- determine whether to place at least a portion of the apparatus in a reduced power mode based upon the user's monitored current behavior and the history of user habits;
- and
- if it is determined to place at least a portion of the apparatus in the reduced power mode, place at least a portion of the apparatus in the reduced power mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including executable code that, when executed, causes an apparatus to:
- receive a history of user habits for a user of the apparatus in regards to one or more computing devices from a remote repository;
- monitor the user's behavior in regards to the apparatus;
- transmit information associated with the monitored user's behavior to the remote repository;
- determine whether to place at least a portion of the apparatus in a reduced power mode based upon the user's monitored behavior and the history of user;
- and
- if it is determined to place at least a portion of the apparatus in the reduced power mode, placing the at least a portion of the apparatus in the reduced power mode.
