Method and system for selective control of charging a power source

摘要

The invention concerns a method ( 200 ) and system ( 100 ) for selective control of charging a power source ( 122 ). The method can include the steps of charging ( 212 ) the power source of an electronic device ( 136 ) in which the electronic device also includes a global positioning system unit ( 118 ) and conducting ( 216 ) a session for the global positioning system unit. The method can also include the step of-in response to the session-selectively throttling ( 218 ) the flow of current to the power source of the electronic device to reduce the effect of thermal variation on the operation of the global positioning system unit.
