    Abstract: A device for processing an abnormal sleep state of an operating system is provided. The processing device includes a detection unit, an abnormal event determination unit, an event information verification unit and an abnormality notification unit. The detection unit detects whether a screen lid closing event occurs, wherein the operating system is preset to enter a sleep mode when a screen lid is closed, and the operating system is preset to enter a wake-up mode when the screen lid is opened. The abnormal event determination unit determines whether the screen lid is closed and whether an event that the operating system is not entering the sleep mode occurs. The event information verification unit verifies an event information and determines whether the event is classified as an abnormal event. The abnormality notification unit sends an abnormality notification to a system administrator unit, which performs a processing according to power status.
