Abstract
Techniques for improving the power consumption of a device without impacting or with minimal impact to operations of the device are described. In an example, the device includes a processor. The device receives, while the processor is operating in a first power mode, first input data corresponding to first audio detected by a microphone. Based at least in part on the first input data, the device detects a sound event or ambient noise. Based at least in part on a detection of the ambient noise only, the device causes processor to operate in a second power mode in which the processor consumes less power than in the first power mode.
