Abstract: A processor configured to reduce the amount of time necessary for a mobile device to resume from a hibernation state is described. While in the hibernation state, power to all components of a mobile, except a motion sensor, may be powered off. The processor, upon receiving a signal from a wakeup sensor, causes the mobile device to initiate a transition from the hibernation mode to an awake mode. A validation sensor on the mobile device detects a user contact with the mobile device or user proximity with respect to the mobile device. Upon receiving a validation signal confirming validation of the transition from the hibernation state to the awake state, the processor resumes the transition to the awake mode. In the awake mode the mobile device may detect user input indicative of activating the mobile device. Upon receiving a signal indicating user input to activate the device, the processor may cause the device to become fully active, and ready for user interaction.
