Apparatus and methods for thermal management of electronic user devices based on user activity

This invention describes an electronic device that manages its internal temperature to keep its outer surface comfortable for a user. It starts a timer when it senses a user nearby, and after the user interacts with it, the device adjusts its power consumption and fan speed to maintain a specific temperature on its exterior.

Why it matters: Since 2022, compact, low-power presence sensors have become more common and accurate, making user detection more robust. The increasing power of processors in small devices also makes intelligent thermal management more critical for user comfort.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateSensors, processor, software logic, fan control
