SUSPENSION AND/OR CONTROL OF PROCESSES FOR CONNECTED STANDBY Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G06F1/32 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to at one system and/or one method of assigning power management classifications to at least one process associated with a computing environment, transitioning the computing environment into a connected standby state based on power management classifications assigned to processes, and transitioning the computing environment from the connected standby state to an execution state. The method comprises the following steps: identifying a process to which power management classification is to be assigned; assigning power management classification, for example, privileged, controlled and/or suspended, which can be assigned to processes based on various factors, such as: whether a process provides desired functionality and/or whether the process provides functionality used for basic operation of the computing environment. In this way, the computing environment may be transitioned into a low power connected standby state that may continue executing desired functionality, while reducing power consumption by suspending and/or controlling other functionality.

EFFECT: providing a method and a system for reducing power consumption while enabling fast transitioning to execution state in order to quickly provide a user with up-to-date information.
