Abstract

A signal variance sensing power controller is described. The power controller functions by measuring the power consumption of a first device, and detecting fluctuations in the power consumption. The power controller then determines a level of variability, based on measured changes in the first device. Based on the level of variability, the power controller then determines a state of the first device, and influences a second device based on that state.
