Abstract:
1. A method of providing a usage-dependent indication of battery level on a mobile telecommunications device, the method comprising: determining a battery level measurement; determining at least one usage-type, relative to which the battery level is to be indicated; determining a usage-type profile for the at least one usage-type; determining a radio condition profile associated with an environment of the mobile telecommunications device, wherein determining the radio condition profile includes recording radio conditions over a period of time and matching the radio conditions to the radio condition profile associated with the environment; and applying the usage-type profile and the radio condition profile to the determined battery level measurement to obtain a battery level indication relative to the at least one usage-type, wherein the battery level indication corresponds to use of the mobile communications device according to the at least one usage-type and is based on both the usage-type profile and the radio condition profile associated with the environment of the mobile telecommunications device.
