Patent ID: 8281166

Claim:
A computer implemented system for managing power supply for an electronic device, comprising the following computer executable components: a learning component that is trained and constructs models according to usage patterns of the electronic device; a component providing a first phase of model building relating to usage of the electronic device; and a forecasting component that employs the learning component and models to generate predictions relating to usage of the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is a computer, wherein the predicted usage profile comprises a discretization of usage data, whereby the size of usage tables is reduced, wherein the learning component includes one or more probabilistic learning models for reasoning about the usage states, wherein the learning component includes a naïve Bayesian model, and wherein the system assumes a variable T i for the i th time period and calculates P(T n+1 |T 1 , T 2 , . . . T n ) to compute usage probability.
