A system and method configured with an electronic device to enable prediction-based power management by providing direct transition to a lower power state such that overall energy consumption is reduced. The system and method includes an idleness information recording module configured to, using a power management agent, non-intrusively observe and record usage and idleness information of the electronic device, a learning module configured to, using a neural network operatively coupled with the power management agent, conduct deep learning of idleness patterns of the electronic device, a prediction module configured to predict future idleness of the electronic device based on the deep learning of the idleness patterns, and a prediction-based lower power state transfer module configured to directly transition the electronic device to lower power state based on the predicted future idleness.
