determining whether to set a power control timer;

determining whether the device is ready to enter a power saving mode; and

setting the power control timer in response to a determination that the power control timer is to be set and that the device is ready to enter the power saving mode.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the providing interactive power control of the device further comprises:

determining whether a power control timer has expired; and

setting a wake up time in response to a determination that the power control timer has expired.

17. A computer program product comprises non-transitory medium storing instructions for execution by one or more computer systems, wherein the instructions comprise:

instructions for sensing a motion gesture sequence using one or more sensors; and

instructions for providing interactive power control of a device using the motion gesture sequence and a set of reference power control motion gesture sequences stored in a memory of the device, wherein the instructions for providing interactive power control of the device comprises:

instructions for comparing the motion gesture sequence with the set of reference power control motion gesture sequences; and

instructions for adjusting a power control timer of the device in response to a match being found in the set of reference power control motion gesture sequences.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the instructions for adjusting the power control timer of the device comprises:

instructions for delaying the device from entering a power saving mode based at least in part on the motion gesture sequence.

19. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the instructions for adjusting the power control timer of the device comprises:
