Abstract
An application-specific power management technique may establish a separate power-down interval for one or more applications based on user interaction with the one or more applications. In some implementations, during use of a particular application, when a management component determines that a period of user inactivity has become greater than or equal to the particular power-down interval established for the particular application, the management component may initiate a power down of one or more components, such as a display.
