Coordinating power states in a hybrid information handling device

摘要

Systems, methods and products directed toward coordinating power states in a hybrid information handling device are described herein. One aspect includes a method including: providing a primary operating environment and a secondary operating environment in an information handling device; ascertaining a trigger event for switching between the primary operating environment and the secondary operating environment; providing power state transitioning responsive to the trigger event; and placing one of the primary operating environment and the secondary operating environment in a working state while one of the primary operating environment and the secondary operating environment is in a sleeping state. Other embodiments are described herein.

主权项

1. An information handling device comprising:
one or more processors; a memory that stores instructions executable by the one or more processors to: provide a primary user operating system environment and a secondary user operating system environment; wherein the primary user operating system environment and the secondary user operating system environment are supported by separate hardware platforms, wherein each of the separate hardware platforms comprise a processor and memory; ascertain a trigger event for switching between said primary user operating system environment and said secondary user operating system environment; provide a power state transitioning signal responsive to said trigger event, wherein the power state transitioning signal comprises information for transitioning a power state of one or more of said primary user operating system environment and said secondary user operating system environment; and place one of said primary user operating system environment and said secondary user operating system environment in a working state while one of said primary user operating system environment and said secondary user operating system environment is in a sleeping state.
