Claim 17:
18. A method for selecting a power mode for a computing device, the method comprising:
operating a central processing unit (CPU) in a plurality of power modes, each power mode being pre-defined to have a different code-execution performance capability than remaining ones of the plurality of power modes;
receiving, via a sampling peripheral, context-identifying input from one or more sensors, the sampling peripheral having a sampling configuration associated with a specific power mode of the plurality of power modes, the sampling configuration having an associated behavior that is specific to the sampling peripheral;
selecting and executing, via a memory device, a specific module from a plurality of modules based on the context-identifying input triggering the specific module;
receiving, by the specific module, the context-identifying input from the sampling peripheral; and
operating, by the specific module, the CPU in a dedicated power mode of the plurality of power modes.
