POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A power management method comprising:
- retrieving, by a computer processor of a computing system, identification data identifying a plurality of power consumption devices at a specified location;
storing, by said computer processor, said identification data;
independently enabling, by said computer processor, each power consumption device of said plurality of power consumption devices such that each said power consumption device receives an input voltage signal and consumes power;
independently monitoring, by said computer processor in response to said independently enabling, a power consumption level for each said power consumption device;
after said independently monitoring, independently disabling by said computer processor, each said power consumption device such that each said power consumption device does not receive said input voltage signal and consume power;
after said independently disabling, generating by said computer processor, an association list, wherein said generating said association list comprises associating each said power consumption level with said identification data such that each said power consumption level is associated with a different power consumption device of said plurality of power consumption devices;
generating, by said computer processor from said association list and based on each said power consumption level and user input, a prioritization list indicating an order of priority for disabling said plurality of power consumption devices; and
storing, by said computer processor, said prioritization list.

Abstract
A power management method and system. The method includes retrieving and storing by a computer processor, identification data identifying power consumption devices. Each power consumption device receives an input voltage signal and consumes power. The computer processor monitors a power consumption level for each power consumption device. The computer processor disables each power consumption device from receiving and consuming power. The computer processor generates an association list associating each power consumption level with the identification data. The computer processor generates and stores a prioritization list indicating an order of priority for disabling the power consumption devices.

13. A power management method comprising:
-
retrieving, by a computer processor of a computing system, identification data identifying groups of power consumption devices at multiple locations, wherein each group of said groups of said power consumption devices is associated with a different location of said multiple locations, and wherein said computing system is located external to said multiple locations; storing, by said computer processor, said identification data; retrieving, by said computer processor from said multiple locations, power consumption level data comprising power consumption levels for each power consumption device of said groups of said power consumption devices; generating by said computer processor, an association list, wherein said generating said association list comprises associating said power consumption levels with said identification data such that each power consumption level of said power consumption levels is associated with a different power consumption device of said power consumption devices; generating, by said computer processor from said association list and based on each said power consumption level and user input, a prioritization list indicating an order of priority for disabling each said power consumption device; and storing, by said computer processor, said prioritization list. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
