Assignee: MOTOROLA MOBILITY LLC
Field: Thermal processes and apparatus (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC F  A | IPC A  F

Claim 13:
14. An electronic device, comprising:
an always-on image capture device that remains active without transitioning to a sleep mode and comprising an imager configured to capture one or more images from an environment to the electronic device and continually monitoring a user of the electronic device by capturing a plurality of images of the user of the electronic device;
one or more processors determining, from the plurality of images of the user of the electronic device that a heartrate of the user has risen above a resting heartrate by a predefined threshold; and
a wireless communication circuit transmitting, in response to the one or more processors determining that the heartrate of the user has risen above the resting heartrate by the predefined threshold, a climate adjustment request across a local area network to a cooling device in communication with the wireless communication circuit;
wherein:
the climate adjustment request actuates the cooling device to reduce a temperature of an environment of the electronic device;
the always-on image capture device continues to monitor the user of the electronic device after the wireless communication circuit transmits the climate adjustment request across the local area network to the cooling device by capturing another plurality of images of the user of the electronic device;
one or more processors determine, from the another plurality of images of the user of the electronic device that the heartrate of the user has fallen to the resting heartrate in response to the temperature of the environment of the electronic device being reduced; and
the wireless communication circuit transmits, in response to the one or more processors determining that the heartrate of the user has fallen to the resting heartrate by the predefined threshold, another climate adjustment request across the local area network to the cooling device in communication with the wireless communication circuit; and
the another climate adjustment request deactuates the cooling device to preclude further reduction of the temperature of the environment of the electronic device.
