TL;DR: In this paper, a system consisting of a first device and a second device is described, where the first device operates in a power management environment and has a sleep status signal for indicating a sleep state to the second device.
Abstract: A system comprises a first device and a second device. The first device operates in a power management environment and has a sleep status signal for indicating a sleep status to the second device. The sleep status indicates if the first device is in a sleep state or normal operation state. The second device is coupled to the first device and checks for malfunctions of the first device. The second device only checks for malfunctions of the first device if the first device is in the normal operation state.

TL;DR: In this article, a second communication device is detected in proximity to a first communication device engaged in a call and a substantially uninterrupted transfer of the call is provided from the first communication devices to the second communication devices.
Abstract: A second communication device is detected in proximity to a first communication device engaged in a call. A substantially uninterrupted transfer of the call is provided from the first communication device to the second communication device. At least a part of the first communication device is placed into a sleep mode in response to transfer of the call to the second communication device.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method performed by an apparatus for inducing a sound sleep to induce an object who is sleeping includes: determining a first wake-up time of the object based on schedule information of the person sleeping, receiving bio-information of the human being, determining a sleep state of the humanoid from the bio- information of human beings sleeping, changing the first wakeup time to a second wake up time by taking into account the sleep state, and outputting a wake up alarm signal at the second wake- up time.
