Intelligent device wakeup

A computing device comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to provide data indicative of an ambient environment of the computing device;
• a power manager configured to:
• receive sensor data indicating a proximity of a user to the computing device;
• identify a power mode for the computing device based on the received sensor data;
• and
• based on the received sensor data:
• transition the computing device from a first power mode to a second power mode;
• and
• automatically launch at least one application on the computing device;
• and
• a display device configured to display content provided by the at least one application.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to:

• determine that a computing device is in a stationary position for a predetermined time;
• place the computing device in a first power mode;
• detect input from at least one sensor included in the computing device;
• identify at least one application to launch on the computing device based on the detected input and on a heuristic-based usage pattern for the computing device;
• and
• transition the computing device from the first power mode to a second power mode based on the detected input, the transitioning comprising automatically launching the at least one application on the computing device, the at least one application providing content for display on a display device included in the computing device.
