摘要： A computing device may operate in various modes, which may include a full operational mode and a reduced operational mode. When operating in the reduced operational mode, the computing device may reduce power, reduce radiation output, and/or power off various components to achieve operation in accordance with an operational policy. While operating in the reduced operational mode, the computing device may restrict user access to or adjustment of the impacted components thereby preventing the user from restoring the computing device to the full operational mode, at least temporarily. In some aspects, the device may initiate or terminate the reduced operational mode in response to a signal from a beacon, parameters from a monitored environment, or in response to user commands. In various aspects, the device may provide messaging to inform the user about the modes of operation.

摘要翻译： 计算设备可以以各种模式操作，其可以包括完全操作模式和降低的操作模式。 当以降低的操作模式操作时，计算设备可以根据操作策略降低功率，减少辐射输出和/或关闭各种组件以实现操作。 当以减小的操作模式操作时，计算设备可以限制用户对受影响的组件的访问或调整，从而防止用户至少暂时将计算设备恢复到完全操作模式。 在一些方面，设备可以响应于来自信标的信号，来自被监控环境的参数或响应于用户命令来启动或终止缩减的操作模式。 在各个方面，设备可以提供消息传递以通知用户操作模式。
