Means for improving system operation by creating dependency between a power control and a latch

摘要

The present invention is directed to a means for improving system operation by creating a dependency between a power control and a latch. A method for controlling utilization of an external power switch of an information handling system may include detecting an indication from a display closed switch of the information handling system. A transition from a first power state to a second power state as initiated by the external power switch of the information handling system is disabled when the detected indication of the display closed switch indicates that a display of the information handling system is closed.
