Abstract
Methods and systems may provide for identifying a proximity condition between a system and a potential user of the system. In addition, one or more boot components of the system can be activated in response to the proximity condition, wherein one or more peripheral devices associated with the system are maintained in an inactive state. In one example, at least one of the one or more peripheral devices is placed in an active state in response to detecting an activation condition of the system.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more peripheral devices;
- one or more boot components;
- a proximity sensor;
- and
- logic to,
- identify a proximity condition between the system and a potential user of the system based on a signal from the proximity sensor,
- activate at least one of the one or more boot components of the system in response to the proximity condition, and
- maintain at least one of the one or more peripheral devices in an inactive state, wherein the inactive state is to include at least one of a low power state and a power off state.
A computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying a proximity condition between a system and a potential user of the system;
- activating one or more boot components of the system in response to the proximity condition;
- and
- maintaining one or more peripheral devices associated with the system in an inactive state, wherein the inactive state includes at least one of a low power state and a power off state.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, if executed by a processor, cause a system to:
- identify a proximity condition between the system and a potential user of the system;
- activate one or more boot components of the system in response to the proximity condition;
- and
- maintain one or more peripheral devices associated with the system in an inactive state, wherein the inactive state is to include at least one of a low power state and a power off state.
