Abstract
A wireless communication device is configured to transition between power states to reduce power usage. The wireless communication device includes a power source, a first transmitter, a second transmitter, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to transfer data wirelessly to a requesting client device via the first transmitter during a first power state, and in response to a disconnection of the client device from the first transmitter, determine if the client device is connected to the second transmitter. The control circuitry is further configured to, in response to determining that the client device is connected to the second transmitter, remain in the first power state, and, in response to determining that the client device is disconnected from the second transmitter, enter a second power state that utilizes less power than the first power state.
