Techniques for power management of a portable device are described herein. According to one embodiment, a user agent of an operating system executed within a portable device is configured to monitor activities of programs running within the portable device and to predict user intent at a given point in time and possible subsequent user interaction with the portable device based on the activities of the program. Power management logic is configured to adjust power consumption of the portable device based on the predicted user intent and subsequent user interaction of the portable device, such that remaining power capacity of a battery of the portable device satisfies intended usage of the portable device. |
