Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of utilizing location-based data to manipulate power states of one or more embedded devices, the method comprising: receiving, at a computing device having a processor and memory, location-based data from a positioning system, the location-based data describing a geographic positioning of a mobile device; monitoring, at the computing device, a status of a power source that supplies power to the one or more embedded devices; applying a set of positional rules to the location-based data to determine an appropriate power level of the one or more embedded devices within the mobile device, wherein determining the appropriate power level is based at least in part on the status of the power source, and further wherein the set of positional rules references one or more predefined positional coordinates associated with a power level, and determining whether one or more rules in the set of positional rules was satisfied by the location-based data comprises: providing for manipulating the power states of the one or more embedded devices based on the determined appropriate power level; and at least temporarily storing the power states consistent with the manipulation at a mobile device.
