Computing device having programmable state transitions

摘要

A computing device having programmable state transitions is disclosed. The device includes a real-time clock (110) that generates a signal in response to the real-time clock (110) attaining a programmed time of day. The device additionally includes a processor (100), coupled to the real-time clock (110) that receives the signal and transitions from a first state to a second state, such as from a hibernate state to a standby state.
