Abstract: An example method includes receiving electrical power via a physical connector of a mobile computing device; determining, by a controller of the mobile computing device, a value of a temperature of a virtual temperature sensor, the value representing a difference between a temperature measured by a first temperature sensor of a plurality of temperature sensors of the mobile computing device and a temperature measured by a second temperature sensor of the plurality of temperature sensors, wherein a distance between the first temperature sensor and the physical connector is less than a distance between the second temperature sensor and the physical connector; determining, based on the value of the temperature of the virtual temperature sensor, whether an overheat event has occurred; and responsive to determining that the overheat event has occurred, reducing an amount of electrical current flowing through the physical connector.
