ABSTRACT:
A novel method and apparatus for providing a decoupled power management state. The present invention decouples the operating system's perspective of the power management state from that of the actual hardware state of a host resource. Namely, the resources of a host computer can still operate and provide functionality while the host operating system is “off”, while still providing power saving to the host system and user.
