Power management via coordination and selective operation of timer-related tasks

A mobile computing device adapted to perform a method of coordinating tasks of the mobile computing device, the method comprising:

• detecting a trigger event at a first time, the trigger event indicating that the mobile computing device or a mobile computing device component is to subsequently transition from a low-power state to an active state;
• determining that the first time of the trigger event is within an expiration window associated with an expiration window timer, the expiration window timer being associated with one or more tasks, wherein:
• the expiration window is bound between a second time and a third time, the second time and the third time being different from the first time;
• and
• the expiration window timer is capable of expiring at any time that is between the second time and the third time of the expiration window associated with the expiration window timer;
• and
• based at least in part on the determination that the first time of the trigger event is within the second time and the third time of the expiration window associated with the expiration window timer, with the mobile computing device, initiating performance of the one or more tasks associated with the expiration window timer.

One or more computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions for causing a mobile computing device programmed thereby to perform a method of coordinating tasks of the mobile computing device, the method comprising:

• detecting a trigger event at a first time, the trigger event indicating that the mobile computing device or a mobile computing device component is to subsequently transition from a low-power state to an active state;
• determining that the first time of the trigger event is within an expiration window associated with an expiration window timer, the expiration window timer being associated with one or more tasks, wherein:
• the expiration window is bound between a second time and a third time, the second time and the third time being different from the first time;
• and
• the expiration window timer is capable of expiring at any time that is between the second time and the third time of the expiration window associated with the expiration window timer;
• and
• based at least in part on the determination that the first time of the trigger event is within the second time and the third time of the expiration window associated with the expiration window timer, with the mobile computing device, initiating performance of the one or more tasks associated with the expiration window timer.
