Patent ID: 8489348

Claim:
A method comprising: collecting battery life data from each of a plurality of mobile devices, wherein the battery life data for each of the mobile devices is tracked by each respective mobile device; correlating, by a computing device, the battery life data collected from each of the mobile devices with one or more characteristics of each of the mobile devices; aggregating, by the computing device, the battery life data collected from each of the mobile devices based on at least one of the one or more characteristics; and calculating an estimated battery life for each of the mobile devices based on the battery life data collected from each of the mobile devices, wherein the estimated battery life is equal to 100 multiplied by a ratio of a difference between a last time included in the battery life data and a first time included in the battery life data to a difference between a battery charge as a percentage of fully charged at the first time and a battery charge as a percentage of fully charged at the last time.
