System and method for dynamically freezing information handling system ports to minimize power consumed by idle plug and play devices

Abstract

An idle plug and play port freezing and carbon dioxide (CO2) minimizing system executing on an information handling system may comprise a plug and play device controller, processor, or embedded controller executing code instructions of the idle plug and play port freezing and CO2 minimizing system to receive a notification that a user presence is not detected and to identify a first peripheral device port operably connected to a first peripheral device from among a plurality of peripheral device ports, where the first peripheral device port has an associated first peripheral device communications profile that indicates a status of push notifications enablement with the first peripheral device, and to cease power supply to the first peripheral device port in the absence of a read/write session currently executing on the peripheral device port and no push notifications enabled to decrease power consumption and CO2 emissions.
