Abstract
Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with restricting current draw in wearable devices are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a wearable computing device may include a power source, one or more components coupled with each other and to the power source to perform wearable computing; and control circuitry coupled with the one or more components, the control circuitry to: identify a threshold selected based on a power consumption model of the wearable computing device; ascertain whether current draw from the power source is greater than the threshold; and restrict the current draw from the power source of the wearable computing device based on a signal output from one of the one or more components, in response to the current draw is ascertained to be greater than the threshold. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
