Abstract
A novel system and method increase battery life for portable computing devices through intelligent display management. A user interface allows a user to input threshold values and parameters such that power management actions are taken should battery power fall below the thresholds. Such actions include the reduction of size to the projected display, disabling of network activity, and management of intensive CPU processes.
