A METHOD OF MINIMIZING POWER CONSUMPTION DURING OPERATION OF A BATTERY OPERATED MOBILE WIRELESS INFORMATION DEVICE

A method of minimizing power consumption during operation of a battery operated mobile wireless information device such as a cell phone, smart phone, communicator or laptop having a plurality of device applications running thereon, said plurality of device applications regularly needing to communicate via the internet using wireless communication channels, said method automatically modifying a wireless transfer related behavior of the mobile wireless communication device, comprising the steps of: a) activating a set of wireless transfer related tasks on the mobile wireless information device, b) running a device application on said wireless information device, c) the device application grouping the set of wireless transfer related tasks into prioritized subgroups of tasks being less or more time critical, d) the device application logging a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a wireless communication channel relating to the set of wireless transfer related tasks, e) the device application defining a wireless transfer scheme based on step a-d such that the communication channel is primarily loaded with the wireless transfer related task being more time critical during periods of low RSSI values whereas the communication channel in periods of high RSSI values may be loaded with the wireless transfer related task being less time critical. Also the invention relates to a battery operated mobile wireless information device capable of carrying out the method according to the invention.
