    Abstract: Technologies for providing information to a user while traveling include a mobile computing device to determine network condition information associated with a route segment. The route segment may be one of a number of route segments defining at least one route from a starting location to a destination. The mobile computing device may determine a route from the starting location to the destination based on the network condition information. The mobile computing device may upload the network condition information to a crowdsourcing server. A mobile computing device may predict a future location of the device based on device context, determine a safety level for the predicted location, and notify the user if the safety level is below a threshold safety level. The device context may include location, time of day, and other data. The safety level may be determined based on predefined crime data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques and architecture are disclosed for managing power use during operation of an electronic device capable of processing and/or playback of audio and/or video (AV) content. In some instances, the disclosed techniques/architecture can be used, for example: (1) to stop decoding and/or rendering of AV content upon detecting that a user wishes to stop or is otherwise unable to consume (e.g., hear/listen to or otherwise utilize) such AV content; and/or (2) to continue/re-enable decoding and/or rendering of AV content upon detecting that a user wishes or is otherwise able to continue/resume consumption thereof. In some cases, use of the disclosed techniques/architecture may reduce central processing unit (CPU) cycles, audio digital signal processing (DSP), rendering hardware usage, etc., and/or otherwise make more efficient use of battery charge, and thus may realize an improvement in battery life, for example, for a mobile/battery-operated device capable of AV processing and/or playback.

    Abstract translation: 公开了用于管理能够处理和/或播放音频和/或视频(AV)内容的电子设备的操作期间的电力使用的技术和架构。 在某些情况下,可以使用公开的技术/体系结构,例如:(1)在检测到用户希望停止或不能消费时停止对AV内容的解码和/或呈现(例如,听/听 或另外利用)这样的AV内容; 和/或(2)在检测到用户希望或能够继续/恢复其消费时继续/重新启用AV内容的解码和/或呈现。 在某些情况下,使用所公开的技术/架构可以减少中央处理单元(CPU)周期,音频数字信号处理(DSP),渲染硬件使用等,和/或以其他方式更有效地使用电池电荷,因此 可以实现电池寿命的改善,例如,对于能够进行AV处理和/或播放的移动/电池供电的设备。
