Abstract
In embodiments of RFID-based power status and battery management, a mobile device includes a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag that includes a memory to maintain context information associated with the mobile device. The mobile device includes a processing system to execute a power manager and to interface with the RFID tag via a communication bus. The power manager can determine a stowed context of the mobile device based on one or more sensors implemented in the mobile device, and communicate a stowed context indication of the stowed context of the mobile device to the RFID tag to be stored in the RFID tag memory. The power manager can also communicate a power-state indicator of a power on state or a power off state of the mobile device to the RFID tag to be stored in the RFID tag memory.
