Abstract
Scheduling operation modes of a managed device. A method embodiment of the present invention includes providing a device remote from the managed device with an interface enabling selection of options for scheduling the occurrence of operation modes for the managed device. Options selected through the interface are received from the remote device. The occurrence of operation modes of the managed device are then scheduled according to received options.
Claims30
A method for scheduling operation modes of a managed device, comprising:
- providing a device remote from the managed device with an interface enabling selection of options for scheduling the occurrence of operation modes for the managed device;
- identifying an operation mode pattern for the managed device and, through the interface, selecting options according to the identified operation mode pattern;
- receiving from the remote device options selected through the interface;
- and
- scheduling the occurrence of operation modes of the managed device according to received options.

A method comprising:
- providing a device remote from a managed device with an interface enabling selection of scheduling options;
- identifying an operation mode pattern for the managed device and, through the interface, selecting options according to the identified operation mode pattern;
- receiving from the remote device scheduling options selected through the interface;
- if indicated by the received scheduling options, directing that the managed device be placed in an off-line mode;
- if indicated by the received scheduling options, directing that the managed device be prevented from entering the off-line mode;
- and
- if indicated by the received scheduling options, directing that the managed device be placed in an on-line mode.

A method comprising:
- providing a device remote from a managed device with an interface enabling selection of options for scheduling when the managed device is to be prevented from entering a power save mode;
- identifying an operation mode pattern for the managed device and, through the interface, selecting options according to the identified operation mode pattern;
- receiving from the remote device options selected through the interface;
- directing that the managed device be prevented from entering the power save mode as indicated by options received from the remote device.
