User-Aware Power Management for Mobile Devices

TL;DR

This paper introduces a user-aware power management system for mobile devices that identifies idle periods to optimize battery life, addressing power drain caused by background processes and synchronization activities.

Contribution

It presents a novel power management approach that detects device idle times to reduce unnecessary battery consumption, improving upon existing methods.

Findings

Significant extension of battery life in mobile devices.

Effective reduction of power consumption during idle periods.

Enhanced understanding of background power drain sources.

Abstract

The power management techniques to extend battery lifespan is becoming increasingly important due to longer user applications' running time in mobile devices. Even when users do not use any applications, battery lifespan decreases continually. It occurs because of service daemons of mobile platform and network-based data synchronization operations. In this paper, we propose a new power management system that recognizes the idle time of the device to reduce the battery consumption of mobile devices.
