<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve processing of a wake event in a firmware environment while a computing device is maintaining low power consumption state. <P>SOLUTION: Method includes: a step of re-instantiating a firmware environment that includes one or more firmware functions available at pre-boot time when transitioning the computing device from a first high power consumption state to a second low power consumption state; a step of receiving a network event by the firmware while the computing device is the second low power consumption state; and a step where the firmware environment processes the network event without returning the entire computing device to the first high power consumption state independently of an operating system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
