Abstract
Remotely awakening an electronic device, in which an apparatus includes a power supply to supply external power; a receiver for an electromagnetic signal; a capacitor connected to the receiver; a switching circuit connected to the capacitor; a controller, being part of the electronic device, connected to receive power from the switching circuit and to provide a keep awake signal to the switching circuit. The switching circuit to connect the controller with the capacitor when the capacitor is loaded with a predefined amount of power via the receiver, and responsive to the keep awake signal to disconnect the controller from the capacitor and to connect the controller with the power supply afterwards. The controller performs an initialization phase in response to receiving power and enables the keep awake signal after completing the initialization phase.
