  • Publication number: 20140154984
    Abstract: An aspect provides a method, including: receiving, at a low power wireless communication subsystem of an information handling device, a beacon from a wirelessly connectable device; determining, with the low power wireless communication subsystem, if the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol; in response to determining the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol, powering on a main system component and a higher power wireless communication subsystem; and establishing a wireless connection between the higher power wireless communication subsystem and the wirelessly connectable device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20120208507
    Abstract: A method includes sensing a local environmental condition, receiving an electronic communication message, sensing a local microphone signal level associated with the communication message, and issuing a notification if the local microphone signal level exceeds a threshold associated with the local environmental condition. In such a method, an electronic communication may be a telephone call, a video call, a text message, a message communicated via a short message service, a message communicated via a multimedia message service or other type of message. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
