A time sensitive project, looking for a fast turn around.
The requirement:
- a Windows XP/Vista/7 application which will minimise the power consumption of an idle PC
- log duration of the power saving
- log power saving by user
- report power saving to a remote database
- firewall pass through
- AES encrypted data transmission
- system power restore on keyboard or mouse or USB input
Interface:
- user registration/authentication with remote database
- user configuration of power saving minimal/maximal/default
- user configuration of idle time
- Power units saved
Power saving
- Shutdown USB ports
- HDD
- PCI bus
- External display
- CPU throttling
- wireless network
- ethernet interface
- other?
Installation
- Preferably a light application not reliant on .NET for ease of down load & install
Wishlist:
- application uses ACPI and
- can be modified to run on UNIX & MAC as further projects
- testing controls for evaluation
