Patent number: 10078363Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a microcontroller to facilitate data communication within a system comprising a plurality of peripheral devices, a power manager to put the microcontroller into a sleep state to save power, and an I/O controller to enable communication between two or more particular peripheral devices in the plurality of peripheral devices without involvement of the microcontroller while the microcontroller is in the sleep state. The microcontroller is to wake from the sleep state in response to at least one signal from a component of the system external to the microcontroller and communication between at least some of the plurality of peripheral devices is facilitated using the microcontroller when in an awake state.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: James P. Kardach, Brian V. Belmont, Muthu K. Kumar, Riley W. Jackson, Gunner D. Danneels, Richard A. Forand, Vivek Gupta, Jeffrey L. Huckins, Kristoffer D. Fleming, Uma M. Gadamsetty

Patent number: 7421597Abstract: A method is described that involves operating a computing system within a normal on state and transitioning from the normal on state to a main CPU/OS based state. In the main CPU/OS based state one or more components of the computing system are inactivated so as to cause the computing system to consume less power in the main CPU/OS based state than in the normal on state. The computing system is able to execute software application routines on a main CPU and a main OS of the computing system while in the main CPU/OS based state.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: James P.
