Abstract
The disclosure herein describes causing a computing device to transition from a low power state using a pen device. The pen device obtains gesture input data from at least one sensor of the pen device and the obtained gesture input data is compared to at least one gesture pattern. Based on the gesture input data matching the at least one gesture pattern, the pen device generates a wakeup event message. The pen device transmits the wakeup event message to the computing device using a communication protocol that the computing device is configured to receive in the low power state. The described power state transition method provides a flexible, customizable way for users to wake up computing devices using the pen device.
