Predictive time to turn on a television based on previously used program schedules

摘要

A television has first and second electronic subsystems which collectively operate to produce a display. The television is controlled by a processor, the processor also operating to determine a period of time where no output is being produced, and to maintain the first electronic subsystem and said second electronic subsystem into a power reduced state, e.g., a sleep state. The television maintains a database of times when it is likely to operate to produce said output, and automatically removing the first electronic system from the power reduced state, and not removing the second electronic subsystem from the power reduced state at one of the times, and without an indication.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
an electronic device, which operates to produce an output, said electronic device having first and second electronic subsystems which collectively operate to produce said output; said electronic device controlled by a processor, to produce said output, said processor also operating to determine a period of time where no output is being produced, and to maintain said first electronic subsystem and said second electronic subsystem into a power reduced state, said electronic device maintaining a database of times when said electronic device is likely to operate to produce said output, and automatically removing said first electronic subsystem from said power reduced state, and not removing said second electronic subsystem from said power reduced state at one of said times in said database, and without an indication from a user of the electronic device.
