System and method for power management in a computing device for PoE

摘要

A system and method for operating system power management in a computing device for power over Ethernet (PoE). Computing devices such as portable computers or embedded devices having an operating system (OS) can leverage power management features in an OS. Power management state information such as user parameters, computing device parameters, application parameters, IT parameters, network parameters, etc. can be used to generate power requests that are acted upon by power sourcing equipment.
