<p>A computing device is driven either wholly or partially by timing events so that it transitions to low power modes instead of idling while awaiting a timing event, thereby to consume less power. This is achieved by enabling those entities on the device that request timing events to do so by specifying a range of times during which an event could occur rather than a single time. The computing device is, therefore enabled to determine which timer events can safely be processed before the device transitions to low power mode. This means that fewer timing events occur, and the computing device can therefore remain in its low power modes for a longer period of time than would otherwise be possible.</p> |
