Cross-device energy orchestration platform
This technology is a software framework that monitors the power consumption of all computing devices linked to a single user — phones, laptops, tablets, desktops — and then generates a coordinated plan to reduce total energy use across that entire set, rather than optimizing each device in isolation. It collects power usage data from each device, runs an optimization routine to find the best combination of power-saving actions, and then pushes instructions to the relevant devices to execute those actions. The user can review and approve the strategy before it is applied. The core insight is that managing device power holistically, as a portfolio, can achieve better savings than per-device settings alone.
What you could build
A software agent or cloud service — likely embedded in an OS, device management platform, or enterprise IT tool — that orchestrates energy policies across a user's device ecosystem; primary buyers would be enterprise IT and device management vendors (think Microsoft Endpoint Manager, VMware Workspace ONE) or consumer OS platforms seeking differentiating green-computing features.
Who in Virginia should care
Northern Virginia's dense concentration of enterprise IT, managed service providers, and federal device fleet managers would be natural early adopters or licensing targets for a tool that reduces energy costs across large multi-device deployments.
Readiness: Concept
Concept — described but not yet demonstrated. Lab validated — supported by experimental results in the patent. Prototype likely — the text describes a built, working embodiment.
Readiness is inferred from the patent text, not from a lab visit.
