ABSTRACT:
Power down to a reduced power state, such as a standby or off state, of an information handling system is delayed by a user-configured time after detection of closing of the cover of the information handling system. In one embodiment, a cover delay module associated with the BIOS of the information handling system delays communication of the detection of the closing of the cover from the BIOS to a power manager of the operating system that commands the reduced power state. In another embodiment, the cover delay module integrates with the operating system power manager.
