Power efficient wireless connectivity
摘要
說明書
To improve user responsiveness and/or reduce energy consumption, devices, systems and methods may provide an improved sleep state (e.g., low power mode) that remains connected to a network and/or a remote server(s) while consuming less energy than while in the active state (e.g., normal power mode). Thus, a device in the low power mode may have reduced latency and improved user-perceivable responsiveness when transitioning from the low power mode to the normal power mode as the device may communicate with the remote server(s) with much less delay associated with reconnecting to the remote server(s). In addition, as the device maintains a connection with the remote server(s), the device may be controlled remotely in the low power mode. For example, the user may use a companion application running on an external device to send a command to the device via the remote server(s), enabling the user to wake the device from the low power mode and/or input other commands. Therefore, the device may consume less energy and/or have improved battery life as the device may enter the low power mode more frequently without substantially degrading a user experience and/or removing functionality.
