TECHNIQUES FOR SLEEP MANAGEMENT IN COMPUTER SYSTEM

Abstract:

Embodiments herein describe a mechanism that puts all the wake sources except a master wake source in low power state (e.g., sleep state) to reduce the overall sleep state power consumption. A Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) device is used as master wake source, which scans the presence of a user, and if the user (e.g., mobile device with specific media access control (MAC) address) is in the vicinity or approaching towards the system, the wake sources and memory are made active again. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
