ABSTRACT:
An approach is provided that handles a power down signal received by a device. Other types of signals, such as suspend or save and sleep, may also be handled. A device, such as a parent device, sends a power down signal to another device, such as a child device. The power down signal is received by the child device and acted upon, based on the activities currently being executed by the child device. Each activity currently being executed by the child device is handled according to its corresponding setting in an activity list. For example, if the child device is currently executing a preferred activity, the power down signal is ignored. A user of the child device may also send an explanation (or explanations) to the parent device.
