1. A method, comprising:
- determining a location of a mobile device;
determining a distance between the location of the mobile device and a location of a computing system to determine whether the mobile device is located within a first threshold distance from the computing system; and
in response to determining that the mobile device is located within the first threshold distance from the computing system, transitioning the computing system from a first power state to a second power state.

Abstract
A method of managing power state transitions for a computing system based on the proximity of a user may include determining a location of a mobile device, determining a distance between the location of the mobile device and a location of a computing system to determine whether the mobile device is located within a first threshold distance from the computing system, and in response to determining that the mobile device is located within the first threshold distance from the computing system, transitioning the computing system from a first power state to a second power state.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a computing system operable in each of at least a first power state and a second power state; an input configured to receive a location of a mobile device; and a proximity detection module coupled with the input and with the computing system, wherein the proximity detection module is configured to; determine a distance between the location of the mobile device and a location of the computing system to determine whether the mobile device is located within a first threshold distance from the computing system, and in response to determining that the mobile device is within the first threshold distance from the computing system, cause the computing system to transition from the first power state to the second power state. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
