Selective Blocking of Background Activity

摘要

Controlling background activity in a computing device or system during a low-power mode is described. In some example techniques, when a computing device or system is in a low power mode, a determination is made whether to block one or more trigger events from causing an activation of one or more respective background task operations. Based at least in part on the determination, at least one trigger event may be allowed to cause an activation of a respective background task operation during the low power mode.

1. A computing system comprising:
one or more processors; memory; a user interface module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:
generate a user interface configured to accept input of settings for a low power mode of the computing system, the low power mode being a connected standby mode; a quiet mode module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:
determine if conditions for the low power mode are satisfied;if the quiet mode module determines that the conditions for the low power mode are satisfied, cause the computing system to enter the low power mode;during the low power mode, determine whether to block one or more trigger events from causing activation of one or more respective background task operations; andallow at least one trigger event of the one or more trigger events to cause an activation of a respective background task operation during the low power mode based at least in part on the determining whether to block the at least one allowed trigger event from causing activation of the respective background task operation.
