SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR THERMALLY MANAGING ELECTRONIC DEVICES USING DYNAMIC OPTICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media. for thermally managing electronic devices using dynamic optical components are provided. At least one of the reflectance and the transmittance of incident electromagnetic radiation of a dynamic optical component on an electronic device may be adjusted based on a detected variable device characteristic of the device, such as a temperature of a device component. By adjusting the reflectance and/or the transmittance of the dynamic optical component, different portions of the incident electromagnetic radiation may be directed from the dynamic optical component for changing the variable device characteristic.

主权项

1. A method for operating a hand-held electronic device according to an amount of electromagnetic radiation that is incident upon the hand-held electronic device, the method comprising:
by the hand-held electronic device: determining that a dynamic optical component of the hand-held electronic device is operating at a peak reflectance to reflect electromagnetic radiation incident upon the hand-held electronic device; and limiting a load of the hand-held electronic device when an output of the load is above a threshold value.
