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.
Claims17
An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory accessible by at least one of the processors;
- first and second wireless devices accessible by at least one of the processors;
- a set of instructions stored in the memory and executable by at least one of the processors to:
- enter a reduced power state;
- enable the 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;
- transition from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receipt of a first message and the passage of a first time, the first time being at least partially based on a predefined parameter for transitioning to the high power state, the first message being received over the wireless network through an established network connection that maintains a presence on the wireless network;
- enable the second wireless device;
- establish a subsequent network connection using the second wireless device;
- receive a second message over the subsequent network connection;
- and
- process the second message.

A method, comprising:
- entering a reduced power state at an information handling system;
- enabling a first wireless device of the information handling system 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 the information handling system from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receipt of a first message and the passage of a first time, the first time being at least partially based on a predefined parameter for transitioning the information handling system to the high power state, the first message being received over the wireless network through an established network connection that maintains a presence on the wireless network;
- enabling a second wireless device of the information handling system;
- establishing a subsequent network connection using the second wireless device;
- receiving a second message over the subsequent network connection;
- and
- processing the second message.

A computer readable storage medium that is not a carrier wave, the computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor to:
- enter a reduced power state at an information handling system;
- enable a first wireless device of the information handling system 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;
- transition the information handling system from the reduced power state to a higher power state in response to receipt of a first message and the passage of a first time, the first time being at least partially based on a predefined parameter for transitioning the information handling system to the high power state, the first message being received over the wireless network through an established network connection that maintains a presence on the wireless network;
- enable a second wireless device of the information handling system;
- establish a subsequent network connection using the second wireless device;
- receive a second message over the subsequent network connection;
- and
- process the second message.
