Some implementations provide a method for performing thermal management of an electronic device. The method determines a sensation value based on (i) a temperature of the electronic device, and (ii) a temperature rate change of the electronic device. The method associates a discomfort level from a plurality of discomfort levels, based on the determined sensation value, to the electronic device. At least one discomfort level is dynamically adjustable. The discomfort level specifies a maximum allowed activity for a processing unit of the electronic device. In some implementations, the discomfort level specifies how thermally uncomfortable the electronic device is for a user of the electronic device. In some implementations, each discomfort level from the several discomfort levels is associated with a particular range of sensation values. The sensation value is based on a user adjustable sensation model. The user adjustable sensation model is based on one of several thermal coefficient constants. |
