Turning now to FIG. 1, a mobile platform 10 having a plurality of radios 12 (12 a-12 n) is shown. The illustrated mobile platform 10 may be part of a system such as a mobile Internet device (MID), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless smartphone, media player, notebook computer, tablet device, and so forth, wherein the mobile platform 10 may at times enter locations in which one or more of the radios 12 are not used for off-platform communications. Accordingly, the mobile platform 10 may include a processor 14 that includes/executes logic 16 to detect changes in location for the mobile platform 10, and to deactivate (e.g., power off), configure (e.g., place in a low power mode) and/or activate (e.g., power on) the radios 12 on an individual basis in response to the changes in location.
For example, a first radio (“Radio 1”) could include a cellular (e.g., Third Generation/3G, Second Generation 2G, Global System for Mobile Communications/GSM, W-CDMA (UMTS), CDMA2000 (IS-856/IS-2000), etc.) radio 12 a, a second radio (“Radio 2”) could include a Wi-Fi radio 12 b, and an nth (“Radio n”) radio could include a Bluetooth (e.g., IEEE 802.15.1-2005, Wireless Personal Area Networks) radio 12 n, wherein if it is determined that the mobile platform 10 has entered a location (e.g., car) that does not involve the use of the Wi-Fi radio 12 b, then the Wi-Fi radio 12 b can be automatically deactivated. Selectively deactivating the radios 12 and/or placing the radios 12 in a low power mode (e.g., reduced scanning mode) may provide substantial power savings and can extend the battery life of the mobile platform 10.
FIG. 2 shows a power management scheme in which a mobile platform 30 is used in, and travels between, multiple locations (e.g., first location—“Location 1”, and second location—“Location 2”). Thus, the mobile platform 10 (FIG. 1), already discussed, may be readily substituted for the illustrated mobile platform 30. For example, the mobile platform 30 might be carried between the first location, which could be the user's home, and the second location, which could be the user's vehicle, wherein a first profile (“Profile 1”) 32 is associated with the first location and a second profile (“Profile 2”) 34 is associated with the second location. The profiles 32, 34 may be established and/or maintained on the mobile platform 30, wherein additional profiles associated with other locations such as work locations, urban (e.g., city) locations, rural locations, alternate locations (e.g., “not home”), and so forth, may also reside on the mobile platform 30. The setup of the profiles 32, 34 could involve prompting a user for certain up front configuration information such as addresses (e.g., work/home), frequent destinations (e.g., train stations, airports, Internet cafes), user preferences, etc. In the illustrated example, each profile 32, 34 has one or more entry and exit criteria, as well as radio settings to manage the radio based power consumption of the mobile platform 30.
FIG. 3 shows a scenario in which a plurality of profiles 48 (48 a-48 e) are used to manage the radio based power of a mobile platform that may travel between various locations. In the illustrated example, a home profile 48 a, a car profile 48 b, a rural profile 48 c, an urban profile 48 d, a work profile 48 e, and so forth, may be invoked using location information from one or more of the active radios on the mobile platform. The location information may include, but is not limited to, connection loss information, GPS coordinate information, cellular triangulation information, cellular density information, and so on. Moreover, the profiles 48 may be constructed from user input, historical data, map data, radio data, etc., or any combination thereof. Table I below shows an example of the radio settings that might be associated with the profiles 48.
