An information processing apparatus includes two storage devices, a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device, and controls which of the storage devices is to provide a swap area corresponding to a power saving mode set in accordance with a user input.

A system and related methods for a resource management in a head-mounted display device are provided. In one example, the head-mounted display device includes a plurality of sensors and a display system for presenting holographic objects. A resource management program is configured to operate a selected sensor in a default power mode to achieve a selected fidelity. The program receives user-related information from one or more of the sensors, and determines whether target information is detected. Where target information is detected, the program adjusts the selected sensor to operate in a reduced power mode that uses less power than the default power mode.

An electronic apparatus used with a separate electronic device, and including: a first radio that wirelessly communicates with the electronic device at a first transmission power in a first power range according to a first wireless protocol; and a second radio that wirelessly communicates the electronic device at a second transmission power in a second power range, that is lower than the first power range, according to a second wireless protocol. The electronic apparatus includes a control circuit that determines whether the first radio is in a power-down state or a power-up state, determines whether a predetermined condition exists, powers-down the first radio when the predetermined condition exists, determines whether a predetermined message is received by the second radio, and powers-up the first radio when it is determined that the predetermined message is received while the first radio is in the power-down state.

A memory module includes a plurality of memory components, an in-memory power manager, and an interface to a host computer over a memory bus. The in-memory power manager is configured to control a transition of a power state of the memory module. The transition of the power state of the memory module includes a direct transition from a low power down state to a maximum power down state.

There is provided an information processing apparatus to detect various motions of a user and generate useful information utilizing the result, the information processing apparatus including: a motion detection unit configured to detect a series of motions of a user which are repetitive and nonperiodic; and an information generation unit configured to generate information related to the series of motions.

A method and an electronic device implementing the method are disclosed. The electronic device may include sensors, a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to: select at least one sensor of the one or more sensors to detect movement of the electronic device and select a sampling frequency of the selected at least one sensor based on usage state information of the electronic device, detect the movement of the electronic device using the selected at least one sensor at the selected sampling frequency, and when the detected movement corresponds to at least one preset condition of the one or more preset conditions, execute a specific application of the one or more applications associated with the at least one preset condition.

The technology provides a computing device having a human presence sensor module. An image sensor of the human presence sensor module captures imagery, and the imagery is not disseminated outside of the human presence sensor module to another part of the computing device. One or more machine learning models, each trained to identify whether one or more persons are present in the imagery, are retrieved from memory within the human presence sensor module. The imagery received from the image sensor is processed using the one or more machine learning models to determine whether one or more persons are present in the imagery. Upon detection that one or more persons are present in the imagery, the human presence sensor module issues a signal to an operating system of the computing device so that the computing device can respond to that presence by performing one or more actions.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for elastic delivery, processing, and storage for wearable devices based on system resources. For example, a wearable apparatus may have at least one battery; at least one sensor configured to measure at least one property associated with a user of the wearable apparatus; at least one memory storing measurements from the at least one sensor and instructions; at least one transmitter configured to send data to a device remote from the wearable apparatus; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, from the at least one battery, an indicator of a charge; and based on the received indicator, sending a command to the at least one sensor to operate in a low-power mode or a high-power mode, the low-power mode having. a lower sampling rate than the high-power mode.

A display system is disclosed. The display system includes a display, an eye-tracking sensor, and a processor communicatively coupled to the display and the eye-tracking sensor. The computing device receives data from the eye-tracking sensor, determines, based on the eye-tracking data, whether a user's eye is looking at a display in the display system, and based on whether the eye is determined to be looking at the display, controls a power consumption of the display.

Designs for enabling safe insertion and removal of computing components from a live motherboard are presented herein. In one example, a method includes maintaining a slot power connection and an auxiliary power connection for a peripheral card slot in a powered-off state, and sensing insertion of a peripheral card into the peripheral card slot and responsively detecting whether the auxiliary power connection is employed by the peripheral card. Based on detecting the auxiliary power connection is employed by the peripheral card, the method further includes applying current limits selected for the peripheral card to the slot power connection and the auxiliary power connection and concurrently enabling the slot power connection and the auxiliary power connection for the peripheral card. Based on detecting the auxiliary power connection is not employed by the peripheral card, the method further includes applying a current limit selected for the peripheral card to the slot power connection and enabling only the slot power connection for the peripheral card.
