Suspend profiles and hinted suspending

摘要

Methods, systems and computer program products for suspend profiles and hinted suspending. Exemplary embodiments include a suspend mode management method, including determining a task to perform in the computer system during a suspend period of the computer system, detecting a suspend event in the computer system, the suspend event initiating the suspend period and performing the task during the suspend period.

主权项

1. In a computer system having an input device, a suspend mode management method, comprising:
monitoring user activity of the computer system to generate a suspend profile including a plurality of prior suspend periods by tracking the plurality of prior suspend periods occurring over an extended time period; utilizing the plurality of prior suspend periods to predict a hinted suspend event, each of the plurality of prior suspend periods being a period in which there is no user activity, the hinted suspend event indicating commencement of a period of user inactivity; determining a task in accordance with the hinted suspend event of the suspend profile to perform in the computer system during the period of user inactivity; dynamically detecting a current suspend event in the computer system, the current suspend event correlating to the hinted suspend event; and in response to the detecting of the current suspend event, reading a power state of the computer system by determining a power level of a battery of the computing system and whether the computing system is plugged in; in response to the power level being at a full power and the computing system being plugged in, performing the task during the period of user inactivity.
