Abstract
While an information handling device is in a reduced power state, the information handling device transitions from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receiving a message over an established wireless network connection that maintains a presence on a wireless network. In turn, the information handling device processes the message accordingly in the higher power state.
Claims20
A machine-implemented method comprising:
- at an information handling device,
- enabling at least a first wireless device in response to the information handling device entering a reduced power state, wherein the first wireless device is enabled such that it at least wirelessly connects to a wireless network;
- transitioning from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receiving a message, wherein the message was received over the wireless network through an established network connection that maintains a presence on the wireless network;
- enabling a second wireless device in response to receiving the message;
- establishing a subsequent network connection using the second wireless device;
- receiving the message over the subsequent network connection;
- and
- processing the message using the information handling device.

An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory accessible by at least one of the processors;
- one or more wireless devices accessible by at least one of the processors;
- a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
- entering a reduced power state;
- enabling at least a first wireless device in response to the information handling system entering the reduced power state, wherein the first wireless device is enabled such that it at least wirelessly connects to a wireless network;
- transitioning from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receiving a message, wherein the message was received over the wireless network through an established network connection that maintains a presence on the wireless network;
- enabling a second wireless device in response to receiving the message;
- establishing a subsequent network connection using the second wireless device;
- receiving the message over the subsequent network connection;
- and
- processing the message.

A machine-implemented method comprising:
- enabling a first wireless device, the enabling performed in response to detecting that an information handling device entered a reduced power state;
- establishing a network connection using the enabled first wireless device, the first wireless device maintaining a presence on a wireless network;
- receiving, at the first wireless device, a first message over the established network connection using the first wireless device while the information handling device is in the reduced power state;
- notifying the information handling device to enter a higher power state in response to receiving the first message;
- and
- in response to determining not to send the first message to the information handling device, using the enabled first wireless device to send second message over the wireless network, wherein the second message is adapted to invoke resending the first message to the information handling device.
