Method and apparatus for dynamic power savings based on location

摘要

Techniques to dynamically manage power for a mobile computing device based on a location of the device are described. For example, a mobile computing device may comprise one or more wireless transceivers, a location module operative to monitor one or more location parameters for the mobile computing device, and a power management module operative to dynamically enable or disable one or more of the wireless transceivers based on a comparison of the one or more location parameters and information from a wireless communication technology database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
a plurality of wireless transceivers; a location module operative to monitor one or more location parameters for the mobile computing device, wherein the one or more location parameters comprise at least an estimated future location for a mobile computing device; and a power management module operative to dynamically disable a first transceiver of the plurality of wireless transceivers for a first connection technology and enable a second transceiver of the plurality of wireless transceivers for a second connection technology based on a comparison of the one or more location parameters and information from a wireless communication technology database.
