Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system for hibernation during meetings is described. A method may comprise designating a base computer system of a meeting. The method may further comprise determining if a user is in the meeting. The method may also comprise hibernating a computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a hibernation policy, if it is determined that the user is in the meeting.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- designating a base computer system of a meeting;
- determining if a user is in the meeting including determining a proximity of a computer system associated with the user to other computer systems;
- hibernating the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a hibernation policy, if it is determined that the user is in the meeting, the hibernation policy including a proximity that the computer system associated with the user must be within relative to the base computer system to be hibernated;
- and
- providing an indication to the base computer system that the user has been sent a communication to the computer system associated with the user;
- determining if there is a wake-up trigger for the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a wake-up policy, wherein the wake-up policy is based upon, at least in part, at least one of:
- an organizational hierarchy, a corporate directory, a social network, and a trust relationship;
- and
- waking up the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, the wake-up trigger.

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- designating a base computer system of a meeting;
- determining if a user is in the meeting including determining a proximity of a computer system associated with the user to other computer systems;
- hibernating the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a hibernation policy, if it is determined that the user is in the meeting, the hibernation policy including a proximity that the computer system associated with the user must be within relative to the base computer system to be hibernated;
- and
- providing an indication to the base computer system that the user has been sent a communication to the computer system associated with the user;
- determining if there is a wake-up trigger for the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a wake-up policy, wherein the wake-up policy is based upon, at least in part, at least one of:
- an organizational hierarchy, a corporate directory, a social network, and a trust relationship;
- and
- waking up the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, the wake-up trigger.
6 more elements
A computing system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor;
- a first software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the first software module is configured to designate a base computer system of a meeting;
- a second software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the second software module is configured to determine if a user is in the meeting including determining a proximity of a computer system associated with the user to other computer systems;
- a third software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the third software module is configured to hibernate the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a hibernation policy, if it is determined that the user is in the meeting, the hibernation policy including a proximity that the computer system associated with the user must be within relative to the base computer system to be hibernated;
- and
- a fourth software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the fourth software module is configured to provide an indication to the base computer system that the user has been sent a communication to the computer system associated with the user;
- a fifth software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the fifth software module is configured to determine if there is a wake-up trigger for the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, a wake-up policy, wherein the wake-up policy is based upon, at least in part, at least one of:
- an organizational hierarchy, a corporate directory, a social network, and a trust relationship;
- and
- a sixth software module executed on the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the fifth software module is configured to wake up the computer system associated with the user based upon, at least in part, the wake-up trigger.
