Patent ID: 8738943

Claim:
A method for controlling electrical power consumption of electrical components connected to a networked computing environment, the method comprising: determining, by one or more processors, location information of electrical components that are connected to a networked computing environment; receiving, by one or more processors, computer related events of one or more electrical components that are logged in to and connected to the networked computing environment, wherein the received computer related events include one or more of: sound received through a computer microphone, and motion detected through a webcam; determining, by one or more processors, that utilization associated with one of the computer related events of the electrical components that are logged in to and connected to the networked computing environment is less than a corresponding threshold condition of utilization; responsive to determining that the utilization associated with the one computer related event of an electrical component that is logged in to and connected to the networked computing environment is less than the corresponding threshold condition of utilization, turning off, by one or more processors, the electrical component; and turning off, by one or more processors, one or more of the electrical components based on location information of the one or more electrical components in relation to the one electrical component with utilization associated with the computer related event that is less than the associated threshold condition of utilization.
