Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a user to interface with a mobile computing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method, comprises providing information on a user interface connected to a mobile computing device having a primary display, wherein the mobile computing device can be operated in multiple power states, and the user interface does not include the primary display.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided that includes a microcontroller to facilitate data communication within a system comprising a plurality of peripheral devices, a power manager to put the microcontroller into a sleep state to save power, and an I/O controller to enable communication between two or more particular peripheral devices in the plurality of peripheral devices without involvement of the microcontroller while the microcontroller is in the sleep state. The microcontroller is to wake from the sleep state in response to at least one signal from a component of the system external to the microcontroller and communication between at least some of the plurality of peripheral devices is facilitated using the microcontroller when in an awake state.
Abstract:
A computing system is described that includes an I/O unit interface that is deactivated while said computing system operates within a non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes a controller that operates functional tasks while the computing system is within the non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes an I/O unit that is coupled to both the I/O unit interface and the controller.
Abstract:
Rechnersystem, das folgendes umfaßt: a) eine Haupt-CPU (401, 901), die innerhalb eines Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustandes (301, 304, 501, 504) angeschaltet ist und basierend auf einem Haupt-Betriebssystem (OS) Software ausführen kann und innerhalb eines Nicht-Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustands (305, 505) abgeschaltet ist, so dass sie nicht basierend auf dem Haupt-OS Software ausführen kann; b) eine Speicher E/A-Steuereinheit (403, 903), die mit der Haupt-CPU gekoppelt ist, wobei die Speicher E/A-Steuereinheit aktiv ist, wenn sich das Rechnersystem in dem Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustand befindet, und deaktiviert ist, während das Rechnersystem innerhalb des Nicht-Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustand arbeitet; c) einen Systemspeicher (404, 904), der mit der Speicher-E/A-Steuereinheit gekoppelt ist, wobei der Systemspeicher aktiv ist, wenn sich das Rechnersystem in dem Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustand befindet, und deaktiviert ist, während das Rechnersystem innerhalb des Nicht-Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustands arbeitet; d) einen Controller (917), der innerhalb des Nicht-Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Betriebszustands (305) Funktionsaufgaben durchführt, wobei das Rechnersystem weniger Energie während des Nicht-Haupt-CPU/OS-basierten Zustands als während des Haupt-CPU/OS-Zustands verbraucht; ...
