Abstract
The technical problem of optimizing power consumption of paired user devices is addressed by disabling and resuming short range wireless communication components of the paired user devices. The disabling and resuming of the short range wireless communication components may be determined based on a comparison of a distance between the paired user devices and a threshold distance. The threshold distance may be adjusted by a machine learning model according to user profiles associated with the paired user devices. The distance between the paired user devices may be determined based on location data of the paired user devices. The location data may be obtained by global positioning systems (GPS) mounted on the paired user devices. The location data may be communicated between the paired user devices via a messaging server.
