Abstract
In a method and system for controlling a device coupled to an information handling system, an object is defined to include a hardware and software component having a corresponding hardware operating state and a software operating state. The hardware component is operable to receive at least one hardware input, which is indicative of a target hardware operating state. The software component is operable to receive at least one software input, which is indicative of a target software operating state. A coordination component is included in the software component to receive the hardware and software inputs, and control the operating state of the device in response to the target hardware operating state and the target software operating state.
