Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for tuning a thermal strategy of a portable computing device (“PCD”) based on PCD location information. In an exemplary embodiment, it may be recognized that the PCD is in an active state and producing thermal energy, or that one or more thermally aggressive components of the PCD are operating near temperature thresholds for efficient operation. The PCD location information is used to estimate the environmental ambient temperature to which the PCD is exposed. Certain embodiments may simply render the estimated ambient temperature for the benefit of the user or may use the estimated ambient temperature as an input to a program, application, or algorithm running on the PCD. It is envisioned that certain embodiments of the systems and methods may use the estimated ambient temperature to adjust temperature thresholds in the PCD against which thermal management policies govern thermally aggressive PCD components.
