Abstract:
1. A method comprising: obtaining, by a server, context information including usage information and location information of a mobile communication device; analyzing, by the server, the collected context information to determine a first time and a first place when and where it will be acceptable for a battery of the mobile communication device to fall below a threshold charge level; examining, by the server, current usage information for the mobile communication device to predict a second time at which the battery will fall below the threshold charge level; examining, by the server, the context information for the mobile communication device to predict a place where the mobile communication device will be at the second time; and if the second time is at least a predetermined amount of time before the first time and if the predicted place at the second time is different than the first place, reducing usage of the battery by transmitting instructions from the server to the mobile communication device to change a setting on the mobile communication device from a first value to a second value, wherein the mobile communication device consumes less of the battery when the setting is at the second value than when the setting is at the first value.
