Abstract
The present disclosure relates to power management of a remote control device by a host control device. In one embodiment, a method for power management includes detecting, by a host control device, a status indication of the remote control device, wherein the status indication is associated with a power-on state of the remote control device. The method also includes monitoring received sensor data associated with user presence, and outputting a control signal to the remote control device for the remote control device to enter a low power state. Power management may be provided for loudspeaker units, communications devices, and display devices.
