Abstract
Technologies for managing the power usage of components of a computing device, while the components and the computing device are in a low-power state, such as a connected standby state. An embedded controller includes a wake-up timer designed to wake up the embedded controller during a low-power state to allow the embedded controller to perform its tasks. A power control system is configured to dynamically alter the timing cycle of the wake-up timer of the embodied controller based on operation data received. The dynamically altered timing cycle is designed to conserve power, but maintain functionality of the embedded controller.
