draw power from the wireless power receiver without drawing power from the power supply;

wirelessly communicate with another wireless communications device of the wireless charging unit;

wirelessly receive a state transition command from the other wireless communication device of the wireless charging unit; and

provide the state transition command to the microcontroller;

wherein, while the information handling system is in the hibernate state, the microcontroller is configured to operate independently of the first processor to:

receive the state transition command from the wireless communications device; and

transition the information handling system from the hibernate state to the information processing state in response to the state transition command, wherein in the information processing state, the first processor executes instructions; and

wherein the information handling system is configured to restore, from the first non-volatile memory medium, the volatile memory medium that was flushed to the first non-volatile memory medium, in response to being transitioned from the hibernate state to the information processing state.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 ,

wherein the instructions include an operating system; and

wherein the information handling system is configured to boot the operating system from the first non-volatile memory medium in response to being transitioned from the hibernate state to the information processing state.

wherein the wireless communications device includes a first Bluetooth communications device; and

wherein the other wireless communications device includes a second Bluetooth communications device, different from the first Bluetooth communications device.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein microcontroller includes an integrated circuit that includes the second processor and the second non-volatile memory medium.

5. A method, comprising:

an information handling system transitioning to a hibernate state, wherein, in the hibernate state, a first processor of the information handling system does not execute instructions, wherein the information handling system includes the first processor and a first non-volatile memory medium, which stores instructions executable by the first processor; and

while the information handling system is in the hibernate state:

a wireless communications device of the information handling system receiving wireless power from a wireless charging unit, coupled to a wireless docking device, wherein the wireless communications device of the information handling system draws power from the wireless charging unit without drawing power from a power supply of the information handling system;

in response to the wireless communications device of the information handling system receiving the wireless power from the wireless charging unit, the wireless communications device of the information handling system establishing wireless communications with a wireless communications device of the wireless charging unit;

the wireless communications device of the information handling system wirelessly receiving a state transition command from the wireless communications device of the wireless charging unit;

the wireless communications device of the information handling system providing the a state transition command to a microcontroller of the information handling system, wherein the microcontroller includes a second processor and a second non-volatile memory medium, which stores instructions executable by the second processor;

the microcontroller receiving, independently of the first processor, the state transition command from the wireless communications device; and

the microcontroller transitioning, independently of the first processor, the information handling system from the hibernate state to an information processing state in response to the state transition command, wherein in the information processing state, the first processor executes the instructions; and

in response to being transitioned from the hibernate state to the information processing state, the information handling system restoring, from the first non-volatile memory medium, a volatile memory medium of the information handling system that was flushed to the first non-volatile memory medium.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

in response to being transitioned from the hibernate state to the information processing state, the information handling system booting an operating system from the first non-volatile memory medium.
