The present invention pertains to a computing system having an input system with
local storage interfaced with a computing device, wherein input information is
transferred from the digitizer input system to the interfaced computing device
based on an adaptive transfer policy that extends the battery life of the interfaced
computing device. The interfaced computing device may be a PC. The digitizer input
system can support automated, selective transfer policies based on the power management
configuration of the PC interfaced with the digitizer input system and user-selected
transfer policies.
