SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR POWER MANAGEMENT IN A BEACON

摘要

A method for power management in a beacon includes determining a program density of a signaling program; determining an initial driving voltage using the program density; determining a current setting for an emitter using the initial driving voltage; adjusting the initial driving voltage to a start-up voltage; executing the signaling program using the start-up voltage; and adjusting the start-up voltage to a signaling voltage.

1. A method for power management in a beacon, comprising:
determining a program density of a signaling program; determining an initial driving voltage using the program density; determining a current setting for an emitter using the initial driving voltage, the current setting enabling the emitter to repeatedly execute the signaling program for a predetermined amount of time while being powered by a power source; adjusting the initial driving voltage to a start-up voltage based on a first comparison comparing a start-up current through the emitter with the current setting and a second comparison comparing a start-up power source voltage with a minimum power source voltage; executing the signaling program using the start-up voltage; and adjusting the start-up voltage to a signaling voltage based on a third comparison comparing an execution current through the emitter with the current setting and a fourth comparison comparing an execution power source voltage with the minimum power source voltage.
