11## Critical User Journeys
12
13The journeys below generally refer to Keyguard's portion of the overall flow, especially regarding use of the power button. Power button key interpretation (short press, long press, very long press, multi press) is done in [PhoneWindowManager][4], with calls to [PowerManagerService][2] to sleep or wake up, if needed.

17Begins with the device in low power mode, with the display active for [AOD][3] or inactive. [PowerManagerService][2] can be directed to wake up on various user-configurable signals, such as lift to wake, screen taps, among others. [AOD][2], whether visibly enabled or not, handles these signals to transition AOD to full Lockscreen content. See more in [AOD][3].
