Determining the battery condition of a mobile electronic device

Abstract

A method for use in determining a condition of a battery of a mobile electronic device, comprises receiving, at a server, mobile electronic device data from a mobile electronic device, receiving, at the server, information relating to each candidate method of a plurality of candidate methods, each candidate method being configured for determining a value of a corresponding battery condition, wherein the battery condition value corresponding to each candidate method is representative of the condition of the battery of the mobile electronic device. The method further comprises determining whether any of the candidate methods are capable of determining a corresponding battery condition value based at least in part on the mobile electronic device data and the information relating to each candidate method, and, in response to determining that one or more of the candidate methods is capable of determining one or more corresponding battery condition values, performing one or more of the capable methods to thereby determine the one or more corresponding battery condition values. The method may be suitable for use in determining a condition of a battery of a mobile electronic device and, in particular though not exclusively, for use in determining a condition of a battery of a mobile electronic device which comprises or runs an Android operating system.
