Programming Strategy to Reduce Energy Consumption of Smartphone Sensors

Abstract

This paper presents a strategy to reduce the energy
demand of network applications running on a smartphone, by
specifying regular intervals for the recurrent services required
by these applications. In order to test the efficiency of the
proposed solution, two tests were conducted: (1) normal
consumption, the application was executed without implementing
any method to reduce its energy consumption, and (2) low
consumption, where the application was executed by applying the
schemas used to reduced the demand for energy on the GPS and
Wifi sensors. The energy consumption associated with such
strategy demanded just 20.06% of energy required by ordinary
mobile applications.
