Abstract

An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by the at least one processor to cause the information handling system to: enter a power saving mode; return from the power saving mode to a normal operating mode based on a wake event; determine that the wake event was erroneous; and in response to determining that the wake event was erroneous, execute a remedial action relating to the power saving mode.

Claims (46)

1. An information handling system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by the at least one processor to cause the information handling system to:

enter a power saving mode;

return from the power saving mode to a normal operating mode based on a wake event;

determine that the wake event was erroneous; and

in response to determining that the wake event was erroneous, execute a remedial action relating to the power saving mode.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the power saving mode comprises Modern Standby (MS).

3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action comprises attempting to re-enter the power saving mode.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action comprises wirelessly coupling to another information handling system and transmitting information to the another information handling system regarding the erroneous wake event.

5. The information handling system of claim 4 , wherein the remedial action further comprises receiving, via the another information handling system, instructions from a user for additional remedial actions.

6. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the additional remedial actions include at least one action selected from the group consisting of:

closing running applications;

force-closing running applications;

entering a different power saving mode; and

powering off the information handling system.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action is executed via an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Device Constraint Embedded Namespace Object.

8. A method comprising:

an information handling system entering a power saving mode;

the information handling system returning from the power saving mode to a normal operating mode based on a wake event;

the information handling system determining that the wake event was erroneous; and

in response to determining that the wake event was erroneous, the information handling system executing a remedial action relating to the power saving mode.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the power saving mode comprises Modern Standby (MS).

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the remedial action comprises attempting to re-enter the power saving mode.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the remedial action comprises wirelessly coupling to another information handling system and transmitting information to the another information handling system regarding the erroneous wake event.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the remedial action further comprises receiving, via the another information handling system, instructions from a user for additional remedial actions.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the additional remedial actions include at least one action selected from the group consisting of:

closing running applications;

force-closing running applications;

entering a different power saving mode; and

powering off the information handling system.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the remedial action is executed via an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Device Constraint Embedded Namespace Object.

15. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by a processor of an information handling system for:

entering a power saving mode;

returning from the power saving mode to a normal operating mode based on a wake event;

determining that the wake event was erroneous; and

in response to determining that the wake event was erroneous, executing a remedial action relating to the power saving mode.

16. The article of claim 15 , wherein the power saving mode comprises Modern Standby (MS).

17. The article of claim 15 , wherein the remedial action comprises attempting to re-enter the power saving mode.

18. The article of claim 15 , wherein the remedial action comprises wirelessly coupling to another information handling system and transmitting information to the another information handling system regarding the erroneous wake event.

19. The article of claim 18 , wherein the remedial action further comprises receiving, via the another information handling system, instructions from a user for additional remedial actions.

20. The article of claim 19 , wherein the additional remedial actions include at least one action selected from the group consisting of:

closing running applications;

force-closing running applications;

entering a different power saving mode; and

powering off the information handling system.
