Proximity Based Power Management in PC using Bluetooth Mobile
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, many studies have been carried out on how to reduce energy consumption in a personal computer. In this project, we manage power consumption of computers using proximity of user. Now-a-days almost every user carries a mobile phone which have Bluetooth communication capability. In this project we have built an energy efficient system for management of power consumption of the PC through sensing the proximity of the user via Bluetooth. To sense the proximity of the user, we have built a USB hardware that can be easily attached to a PC. If the user is not in the proximity of the PC, the hardware puts the PC into low power state (sleep). Whenever the user comes in the proximity of the PC, the system wakes the PC up. Our experiment shows that the system significantly reduces the power consumption of the PC.

Optimization of Bluetooth Audio Stream based on the Estimation of Proximity
— The advent of Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to transmit real-time audio in mobile devices. Bluetooth is cost-efficient and power-efficient, but it is not suitable for traditional audio encoding and real-time streaming due to limited bandwidth, high degree of error rates, and the time-varying nature of the radio link. Therefore, audio streaming over Bluetooth poses problems s...

Whilst there are a number of location sensing games emerging for mobile phones, there are few examples of social proximity based games that are effectively position independent. Bluetooth would seem an obvious choice for proximity based games, although the majority of games produced to-date simply uses it to provide a quasi peer to peer connection between users of multiplayer games. In this dem...
