Digitizer companion subsystem to extend PC battery life

摘要

The present invention pertains to a computing system having an input system with local storage interfaced with a computing device, wherein input information is transferred from the digitizer input system to the interfaced computing device based on an adaptive transfer policy that extends the battery life of the interfaced computing device. The interfaced computing device may be a PC. The digitizer input system can support automated, selective transfer policies based on the power management configuration of the PC interfaced with the digitizer input system and user-selected transfer policies.
