Abstract
A portable computing device detects if a user is touching the portable computing device. The portable computing device increases a temperature threshold for a component or of the portable computing device if the user is not touching the portable computing device. Based on the temperature threshold, the portable computing device modifies a parameter of a component for an operating temperature of the portable computing device to increase.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a portable computing device;
- a sensor to detect touch with the portable computing device;
- and
- a thermal controller to decrease a temperature threshold for a component of the portable computer device in response to the sensor detecting touch with the portable computing device.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- determine that a portable computer device is stationary for a threshold period of time;
- increase a temperature threshold for a component of the portable computing device;
- and
- modify a parameter of the component of the portable computing device.
