Abstract
A device may include an output device to provide information to a user. The device may further include logic configured to receive an input that identifies an activity to enable while in a low power condition, monitor a power condition of the device, determine that the power condition is the low power condition, and deactivate or disable activities other than the identified activity when the power condition is the low power condition.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, as a configuration setting of a device prior to entering by the device into a low power condition, a user input that identifies an activity to enable while in the low power condition,
- wherein the activity comprises a listing of two or more activities or events ranked based on a priority of each of the two or more activities or events when the device is in the low power condition;
- monitoring a power condition of the device;
- determining that the power condition is the low power condition;
- and
- deactivating or disabling activities other than the identified activity when the power condition is the low power condition.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, as a configuration setting of a device prior to entering by the device into a low power condition, a user input that identifies an activity to enable while in the low power condition;
- monitoring a power condition of the device;
- determining that the power condition is the low power condition;
- and
- deactivating or disabling activities other than the identified activity when the power condition is the low power condition,
- wherein deactivating or disabling activities other than the identified activity when the power condition is the low power condition further comprises:
- identifying a set of power reducing activities;
- determining whether any of the set of power reducing activities are included in the identified activity;
- disabling the activities included in the set of power reducing activities when any of one of the set of power reducing activities are not included in the identified activity;
- and
- disabling activities included in the set of power reducing activities other than the one of the set of power reducing activities included in the identified activity when any one of the set of power reducing activities is included in the identified activity.
8 more elements
A device, comprising:
- an output device to provide information to a user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive input from the user that identifies an activity to enable while in a low power condition,
- wherein the input that identifies the activity to enable while in the low power condition is received before an attempt to execute the activity and before the device is in the low power condition;
- monitor a power condition of the device;
- determine that the power condition is the low power condition;
- deactivate or disable activities other than the identified activity when the power condition is the low power condition;
- receive a request for a disabled or deactivated activity;
- and
- provide a notification, to the user via the output device, that the requested activity is not available.
8 more elements
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, as a configuration setting of a device prior to entering by the device into a low power condition, an identification of a low power activity from a user,
- wherein the low power activity comprises a listing of two or more activities or events ranked based on a priority of each of the two or more activities or events when the device is in the low power condition;
- monitor a power condition of the device;
- determine that the power condition is the low power condition;
- deactivating or disabling activities other than an identified low power activity when the power condition is the low power condition.
