A method and a device for determining a device placement to optimize techniques, such as power management techniques, are described. The method, executed in a processor of a mobile device, comprises gathering data from at least one sensor associated with the mobile device. Based on the data gathered from the sensor, a device placement indicative of at least one of an orientation and a position the mobile device may be determined. Further, details pertaining to the device placement may be integrated with secondary classification data comprising at least one of historical data, device orientation data, and device motion data. Based on the integrated details, it may be inferred whether a user is engaged with the mobile device. When a user is not engaged with the mobile device, a brightness of the display is lowered in at least one stage to optimize power consumption and user experience.
