Description

[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DISPLAY POWER CONSUMPTION [0002]

The present invention relates generally to power management, and more particularly to managing power consumption in display systems.

Innovations in mobile computing devices, also described here as multifunction devices, have progressed at a faster rate than advances in batteries that provide power to mobile devices. From smart phones to tablets and laptops, users are increasingly confronted with inconveniences such as drains of batteries under the constantly performed consumption by current display devices.

As multifunction devices are improved and provide the user with an array of more sophisticated functions, the demand for power is increased in two ways. First, the amount of time used in the device increases. Improved hardware, such as brighter display screens and faster processors, drains more battery power for each time a multifunction device is used.

Systems and methods for managing display power consumption are disclosed. In some embodiments, the first information is displayed in an available display area that includes a first portion of the display screen in a configuration having a set of portions. The set of portions includes a first portion of a display screen configured to be powered on to perform display functions and receive user input, and a second portion of a display screen configured in a powered-off state. In response to a user instruction at the first portion, the second portion is added to an available display region by performing display functions and transitioning the second portion to a power-on state to receive a user input. The second information is displayed in the second part.

Contact / motion module 130 detects contact with touch screen 112 (along with display controller 156) and detects other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touch pad or physical click wheel). The touch / motion module 130 determines whether a touch has occurred (e.g., detects a finger-down event), determines whether there is a movement of the contact, (E.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events) and determining whether the contact has been aborted (e.g., a finger-up event Or detecting the interruption of the contact), for example. The contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch sensitive surface. Determining the movement of a point of contact represented by a series of contact data includes determining the speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction) and / or acceleration (variation in magnitude and / or direction) of the point of contact do. These operations are applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., "multi-touch" / multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact / motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on the touchpad.

The touch / motion module 130 detects the gesture input by the user. Different gestures on the touch sensitive surface have different contact patterns. Therefore, the gesture is detected by detecting a specific contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture may be accomplished by detecting a finger-down event such that the finger-up (lift) event is in the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event For example, the location of the icon).
