    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for assigning power management classifications to a process, transitioning a computing environment into a connected standby state based upon power management classifications assigned to processes, and transitioning the computing environment from the connected standby state to an execution state. That is, power management classifications, such as exempt, throttle, and/or suspend, may be assigned to processes based upon various factors, such as whether a process provides desired functionality and/or whether the process provides functionality relied upon for basic operation of the computing environment. In this way, the computing environment may be transitioned into a low power connected standby state that may continue executing desired functionality, while reducing power consumption by suspending and/or throttling other functionality. Because some functionality may still execute, the computing environment may transition into the execution state in a responsive manner to quickly provide a user with up-to-date information.

    Abstract: A computer receives an application and system configuration detailing program applications, operating systems, and when and/or on which system an application may hibernate and/or operate. The computer determines a baseline power consumption of each of the applications on each of the applicable systems and operates the applications on the most energy efficient system. The computer monitors and displays the energy consumption of each application and determines whether the applications capable of hibernation have been idle for a period of time. If so, the computer hibernates the application until the application is awoken. If the application is incapable of hibernation nor idle, the computer compares the consumption to the determined baseline consumption of an alternative system and, if the consumption is greater than the baseline consumption of an alternative system and the application is capable of operation on the alternative system, moves operation of the application to the more efficient system.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an information processing apparatus operable in any of a plurality of power states including a first power state and a second power state in which power consumption is lower than power consumption in the first power state. The information processing apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive a shift instruction to shift to the second power state, and a control unit configured to shift the information processing apparatus to the second power state in a case where the reception unit receives the shift instruction while an application that does not support the second power state is not running, and not to shift the information processing apparatus to the second power state in a case where the reception unit receives the instruction while an application that does not support the second power state is running.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing power consumption and improving performance on a computing device. A method includes scheduling, with a driver on the computing device, one or more activity times that indicate when the driver will be active and storing the one or more activity times that indicate when the driver will be active. When a request to suspend a system of the computing device is received, the stored activity times are accessed to identify when the driver will be active, and a determination is made whether any of the one or more activity times is scheduled to occur within a suspend time window. If the driver will not be active during the suspend time window, suspension of the system is initiated.
