Centralized Service for Awakening a Computing Device
First Claim
1. A computing device comprising:
- logic for providing a communication service to provide details regarding how to wake the computing device when the computing device is operating in a reduced power mode;
logic for receiving a wake request when the computing device is operating in the reduced power mode;
logic for waking the computing device from the reduced power mode upon receiving the wake request; and
logic for determining an appropriate response to the received wake request based on analyzing one or more policies.

Abstract
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing and interacting with a centralized wake service. A server-side wake service is provided that is operable to allow applications to subscribe to the wake service. The wake service receives a wake request directed to a particular computing device from a particular one of the applications. The wake request is forwarded from the wake service to a client-side communication service on the particular computing device if forwarding is determined to be appropriate. When the client-side communication service on the particular computing device receives the wake request while in a reduced power mode, the computing device wakes up and an appropriate response is determined.
