System and method of operating an information handling system

An information handling system, comprising:

• a first processor;
• a first non-volatile memory medium, coupled to the first processor, that stores instructions executable by the first processor;
• a volatile memory medium coupled to the first processor;
• a wireless power receiver;
• a microcontroller coupled to the first processor;
• a wireless communications device coupled to the wireless power receiver and coupled to the microcontroller;
• and
• a power supply configured to provide power to components of the information handling system;
• wherein the microcontroller includes a second processor and a second non-volatile memory medium, which stores instructions executable by the second processor;
• wherein the information handling system is configured to utilize an information processing state and a hibernate state, wherein, in the hibernate state, the first processor does not execute the instructions and the volatile memory medium was flushed to the non-volatile memory medium;
• wherein the wireless power receiver is configured to receive power via one or more magnetic fields of a wireless charging unit and is configured to provide power to the wireless communications device from the one or more magnetic fields;
• wherein, while the information handling system is in the hibernate state, the wireless communications device is configured to:
• draw power from the wireless power receiver without drawing power from the power supply;
• wirelessly communicate with another wireless communications device of the wireless charging unit;
• wirelessly receive a state transition command from the other wireless communication device of the wireless charging unit;
• and
• provide the state transition command to the microcontroller;
• wherein, while the information handling system is in the hibernate state, the microcontroller is configured to operate independently of the first processor to:
• receive the state transition command from the wireless communications device;
• and
• transition the information handling system from the hibernate state to the information processing state in response to the state transition command, wherein in the information processing state, the first processor executes instructions;
• and
• wherein the information handling system is configured to restore, from the first non-volatile memory medium, the volatile memory medium that was flushed to the first non-volatile memory medium, in response to being transitioned from the hibernate state to the information processing state.
