20150084778 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ESTIMATE DURATION OF BATTERY (DIS)CHARGING OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND PROVIDE SMART CHARGING ALERTS BASED ON DEVICE USAGE PATTERN - A portable electronic (PE) device and method generates contextual power alerts related to a power source of the PE device. The method includes identifying a future interval of usage of the PE device based on a usage pattern associated with at least one of a user profile and usage of the PE device. The method further includes estimating, based on the usage pattern, an amount of charge that is necessary for the power source to power the use of the PE device through the future interval. In response to determining that the amount of charge required for use of the PE device through the future interval is greater than an amount of stored charge currently available, the method further includes producing a user alert indicating that the PE device will require charging in order to provide the amount of charge required to power the PE device through the future interval. | 03-26-2015 |

20150268991 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING THE SCHEDULING OF UNSCHEDULED EVENTS - A method and apparatus for managing the scheduling of unscheduled events includes an electronic device detecting an indication of an unscheduled event for a first time period and determining that a remaining charge for the electronic device is insufficient to complete the unscheduled event during the first time period. The method further includes the electronic device determining a set of options for managing the unscheduled event based on the remaining charge and presenting the set of options using the electronic device. | 09-24-2015 |
20150270730 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CHARGING ALERTS - A method and apparatus for providing charging alerts includes an electronic device detecting an indication of an event and determining that the event makes a charging opportunity at least partially unavailable for the electronic device. The method further includes the electronic device responsively determining a set of charging solutions and presenting an alert, using the electronic device, which indicates at least a first charging solution in the set of charging solutions. | 09-24-2015 |
