Abstract
Examples herein disclose determining whether a computing device should implement a zero watt state according to an engagement of a button. The examples disconnect a power source to the computing device based upon the determination the computing device should implement the zero watt state.
Claims11
A method comprising:
- preserving content on a computing device into a non-volatile memory by implementing a hibernation state prior to implementation of a zero watt state based on a determination that the computing device is in a standby state or normal operation state, wherein the computing device is to consume zero power in the zero watt state;
- and
- responsive to preserving the content, disconnecting the computing device from a power source to enter the zero watt state.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a machine-readable storage medium storing instruction executable by the processor to:
- determine whether the computing device is in a standby state or normal operation state;
- based on the determination the computing device is in a standby state or normal operation state, preserve content on the computing device into a non-volatile memory by implementing a hibernation state;
- and
- responsive to preserving the content, disconnect a power source from the computing device to implement the zero watt state.
4 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computing device to:
- process a state of inactivity to determine whether the computing device is in a hibernation state;
- based on the determination the computing device is not in the hibernation state, preserve content on the computing device into a non-volatile memory by implementing the hibernation state prior to implementation of a zero watt state;
- and
- transmit a signal to disconnect a power source from the computing device to implement the zero watt state.
