Techniques and apparatus to manage power in wireless device

摘要

An apparatus may include a sensor, a processor circuit, and an adaptive scanning component for execution on the processor circuit to receive sensor data from the sensor, to determine activity state based upon the received sensor data, and to adjust a wireless network scanning procedure in accordance with the received sensor data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a sensor; a processor circuit; and an adaptive scanning component for execution on the processor circuit to:
receive sensor data from the sensor, the sensor data comprising accelerometer data;determine an activity state based upon the received sensor data;determine a frequency of a frequency component of the sensor data;compare the determined frequency to a frequency threshold for acceleration events;adjust a wireless network scanning procedure in accordance with the received sensor data; andadjust a scanning rate for wireless networks performed by the apparatus between a first instance and second instance when the frequency is greater than the frequency threshold between the first instance and second instance.
