Here is a concise summary of US Patent 9207748:

US Patent 9207748

• Title: Systems and methods for a wireless device wake-up process including power-save and non-power-save modes
• Current Assignee: Integral Wireless Technologies LLC
• Original Assignee: Intellectual Ventures I LLC
• Inventor: Michael Paljug
• Filing Date: July 30, 2014 (for application US14/446,481, which matured into this patent)
• Issue Date: December 8, 2015
• Abstract: A system and method are provided for wirelessly waking computing devices over a computer network. A signal is broadcast containing one or more device-specific wake-up data sequences, each including multiple iterations of the wireless network card's hardware address. While in a reduced power or "sleep mode," the wireless network card monitors wireless channels for these wake-up packets. If a matching wake-up data sequence is received, the network card sends a signal to the computing device to restore full system power. A confirmation signal is then sent back to the network indicating the device has successfully woken.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Independent Claim 1 (Method): This claim describes a method where a wireless device enters a "wake-up detection mode" for a set time. During this period, it receives a special "wake-up packet" designed to switch the device from a power-saving state to a fully operational state. Upon receiving this packet, the device performs the necessary steps to power up. The device then exits the wake-up detection mode either after successfully waking up or if the set time period expires.
• Independent Claim 8 (Computer): This claim describes a computer system with a controller and a communication interface. The controller is configured to initiate a "wake-up detection mode" in a wireless device for a specific duration. The communication interface receives a "wake-up packet" intended to switch the wireless device from a power-save mode to a non-power-save mode. The controller then performs a wake-up process in response to receiving this packet and exits the wake-up detection mode if the wake-up is successful or the predetermined time runs out.
• Independent Claim 15 (Non-transitory computer-readable medium): This claim covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium (e.g., a hard drive or flash memory) that stores instructions. When these instructions are executed by a computing device, they cause the device to perform the operations described in Claim 1: entering a wake-up detection mode for a set period, receiving a wake-up packet to switch from power-save to non-power-save mode, performing the wake-up process, and exiting the wake-up detection mode upon successful wake-up or expiration of the time period.
