Patent attributes
An electronic device includes a plurality of modules coupled to a charge storage node. A method for operating the electronic device includes starting up the electronic device and entering a demonstration mode. During the demonstration mode, a demonstration is performed for a predetermined amount of time by enabling a subset of the plurality of modules. At the expiration of the predetermined amount of time, the electronic device is shut down. If the electronic device is operating in normal operating mode, the charge level of the charge storage cell can be monitored such that when it falls below a minimum charge threshold, the electronic device is shut down. The minimum charge threshold can be based on a number of demonstrations to be performed on a remaining capacity of the charge storage cell.
