Method and apparatus for a computer power management function including selective sleep states |
摘要 |
The invention provides a power saving feature in a computer system such as a desktop computer using the Windows TM operating system. The computer system includes one or more "sleep" buttons which selectively reduce power consumption to subsystems based on the status of various consumer devices which share the subsystems with a computer function of the system. From the user's perspective, each sleep button acts as a power switch for the computer but not for devices associated with the computer. Each sleep button transitions the computer from its normal power-on state to one or more power saving states depending on which consumer devices are active.
