Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for suspending an idle device includes receiving, by a processor, an indication that a device having a communication channel is connected to a host device. The method then includes determining a first timeout value associated with the communication channel and a second timeout value associated with the first device. The first timeout value corresponds to an amount of time allotted for an operation to complete in the communication channel, and the second timeout value corresponds to an amount of time allotted for the device to be designated as idle before the device is suspended. The device is determined to be idle when the operation is pending in the communication channel for an amount of time that is greater than the first timeout value. The device is suspended when the device has been idle for an amount of time that is greater than the second timeout value.
First claim
