1. A method of operating a portable information handling system (IHS) comprising:

  • sensing a first condition to which the IHS is subjected in the course of operation to provide sensed information, wherein the first sensed condition is ambient light around the IHS;

    the IHS including a display;

    subsequently sensing a plurality of conditions to provide additional sensed information including orientation of the display and motion of the IHS;

    analyzing the sensed information to determine if the IHS is currently in an unusable state due to the first condition and one of the plurality of conditions being sensed; and

    entering a reduced power mode, by the IHS, if it is found that the IHS is currently in the unusable state.
