SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTELLIGENT THERMAL MANAGEMENT BASED ON A THERMAL POWER ENVELOPE IN A PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

Various embodiments of methods and systems for intelligent thermal power management implemented in a portable computing device (“PCD”) are disclosed. To reduce or increase power consumption in the PCD, embodiments adjust one or more performance settings for active components in a given use case, the settings of which contribute to power consumption associated with an aggregate power consumption. The selection of active processing components for performance setting adjustment is a function of the change in user experience versus the change in power consumption that will likely result from the setting adjustment.
