Abstract:
1. A method for device energy and power management and energy and power consumption reduction comprising: establishing an event driven runtime environment within at least one device for which the energy and power management and consumption reduction is to be achieved; generating and maintaining at least one event queue identifying all synchronous and asynchronous processing events and associated minimum expected processing times for the processing events in the queue; searching through the asynchronous processing events in the at least one event queue that drive asynchronous processing and determining the minimum time needed before any of the asynchronous events need to be processed; searching through the synchronous processing events in the at least one event queue that drive all the synchronous processing and determining the minimum time needed before any of the synchronous events need to be processed; and selecting a final minimum estimated response time as the expected minimum of the synchronous and asynchronous event processing times.
