Abstract
A method of producing a time delay is provided. The method is performed with an information processor having a first timer and a second timer. The information processor is capable of maintaining a sleep mode. The method involves using the second timer to measure the timeout for the first timer. The method also includes repetitively causing the information processor to enter the sleep mode so as to be awakened by the first timer reaching timeout to substantially produce a time delay while the second timer is disabled.
