Abstract
A computing device such as a notebook computer comprises a processor and one or more power sources. A plurality of operational states are defined, each with a set of device operation choices for settings (such as power management or configuration) appropriate to that operational state. The processor is adapted to determine a present operational state. The present operational state is not defined solely by the active power source—it may be defined in part by the location of the mobile computing device, its network status, the active power source, the state of battery charge, or by a model of user behavior. The processor is further adapted to implement the device operation choices for the present operational state.
