INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AIMING AT THE REDUCTION OF THEIR OWN ENERGY USE ## Abstract A method uses a computing device that includes a first processor in a first, inactive state operatively coupled to a second processor in an active state. While the first processor is in the first state (301) the second processor uses sensors to determine (303) that a first condition occurred. In response to determining that the first condition has occurred, the first processor initializes (305) to a second, active state. If the first or second processor determines (311) that a second condition has occurred within a given time period (307 and 309) after the first condition occurred, the first processor performs (315) a first action such as launching a software application, capturing a digital photograph, or placing a phone call. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, at a computing device that includes a first processor in a first state operatively coupled to a second processor, comprising: determining, by the second processor, that a first condition has occurred; initializing the first processor to a second state, in response to determining that the first condition has occurred; determining, by the first processor, that a second condition has occurred within a first time period; and performing a first action by the first processor, in response to determining that the second condition has occurred within the first time period. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the first condition has occurred includes: receiving a first indication from a first sensor operatively coupled to the second processor; determining that the first indication is greater than a first threshold; receiving a second indication from a second sensor operatively coupled to the second processor; and determining that the second indication is greater than a second threshold. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein determining that the first condition has occurred further includes: receiving a third indication from a third sensor operatively coupled to the second processor; and determining that the third indication is greater than a third threshold. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the first condition has occurred includes: receiving, from a fourth sensor operatively coupled to the second processor, a first orientation indication associated with a first orientation of the computing device; determining that the first orientation is substantially similar to a first predefined orientation of the computing device prior to starting a third time period; receiving, from the fourth sensor, a secondary orientation indication associated with a secondary orientation of the computing device during the third time period; determining that the secondary orientation is substantially similar to the first predefined orientation of the computing device during the third time period. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein determining that the first condition has occurred further includes: receiving, from a fifth sensor operatively coupled to the second processor, a fourth indication; and determining that the fourth indication is greater than a fourth threshold. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing a user notification at the computing device, in response to determining that the second condition has occurred within the first time period. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein providing the user notification includes: providing an auditory user notification. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein providing the user notification includes: providing a visual user notification. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein providing the user notification includes: providing a haptic user notification. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein initializing the first processor to the second state includes increasing a power supply voltage to the first processor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the second condition has occurred includes: receiving, from a sixth sensor operatively coupled to at least one of the first processor and the second processor, a first movement indication associated with a first movement of the computing device; determining that the first movement is substantially similar to a first predefined movement; receiving a fifth indication, from a seventh sensor operatively coupled to at least one of the first processor and the second processor; determining that the fifth indication is greater than a fifth threshold; receiving a sixth indication, from an eighth sensor operatively coupled to at least one of the first processor and the second processor;
