Abstract
Examples of devices and methods for controlling speed of cooling elements are discussed. The device comprises a first temperature reader to measure an ambient temperature in the vicinity of the device. The device further comprises a processor to control a speed of a cooling element of the device based on a comparison of the ambient temperature with a first threshold temperature.
Claims15
A device comprising:
- a first temperature reader to measure an ambient temperature in vicinity of the device;
- a second temperature reader to measure a component temperature of a component of the device;
- a cooling element;
- and
- a processor to control a speed of the cooling element based on a comparison of the ambient temperature with a first threshold temperature and based on one of:
- the component temperature and a difference between the ambient temperature and the component temperature.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining an ambient temperature from a first temperature sensor of a device;
- determining a contact temperature of the device from a second temperature sensor of the device, wherein the contact temperature is a temperature of an area of the device that is to come in contact with a user;
- and
- controlling a speed of a cooling element of the device based on a comparison of the ambient temperature with a first threshold temperature and a comparison of the contact temperature with a second threshold temperature.
1 more element
A computer readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- determine an ambient temperature from a first temperature sensor of a device;
- determine a contact temperature of the device from a second temperature sensor of the device, wherein the contact temperature is a temperature of an area of the device that is to come in contact with a user;
- determine a component temperature of the device from a third temperature sensor of the device;
- and
- control a speed of a cooling element of the device based on:
- the component temperature, a comparison of the ambient temperature with a first threshold temperature, and a comparison of the contact temperature with a second threshold temperature.
