METHODS OF CONSTRAINING PERFORMANCE OF A MOBILE DEVICE USING AN APPLICATION PROCESSOR, AND RELATED MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Methods of operating a mobile device are provided. A method of operating a mobile device includes calculating a mean power consumption with respect to a time duration, using a measured power consumption or using an estimated power consumption. The method includes comparing a performance constraint standard with the mean power consumption. Moreover, the method includes constraining performance of the mobile device, using an application processor of the mobile device, in response to determining that the mean power consumption exceeds the performance constraint standard. Related mobile devices are also provided.

1. A method of operating a mobile device, the method comprising:
measuring power consumption in real-time, using a current meter to provide a measured power consumption, or estimating the power consumption in real-time, to provide an estimated power consumption; calculating a mean power consumption with respect to a time duration, using the measured power consumption or using the estimated power consumption; comparing a performance constraint standard value with the mean power consumption; and constraining performance of the mobile device, using an application processor of the mobile device, in response to determining that the mean power consumption exceeds the performance constraint standard value.
