Optimizing electronic display resolution

A system for optimizing display resolution of an electronic device, comprising:

• a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
• program instructions to determine a personalized optimal resolution of a user for a test location;
• program instructions to store the personalized optimal resolution of the user in a data storage module with associated test location data, wherein the personalized optimal resolution is stored in the data storage module with a plurality of other personalized optimal resolutions associated with respective test location data for multiple test locations;
• program instructions to detect the presence of the user;
• program instructions to determine a location of the user;
• program instructions to select the personalized optimal resolution from the data storage module based on the test location being closer than the multiple test locations to the location of the user;
• program instructions to adjust a resolution of the electronic device display to the personalized optimal resolution of the user;
• program instructions to initiate the display of an image viewing event on the electronic device display, wherein the image viewing event is accompanied by audio;
• program instructions to detect that the at least one user has moved beyond a predetermined distance from the electronic device display;
• and
• program instructions to cease the display of the image viewing event, while continuing the audio based on the detecting that the at least one user has moved beyond the predetermined distance from the electronic device display,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.

A computer program product for optimizing display resolution of an electronic device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• detect the presence of a user relative to an electronic device display;
• determine a location of the user;
• determine an identity of the user;
• determine, by comparing the location of the user to a plurality of stored test locations, that the location of the user is not within a predetermined distance of any of a plurality of stored test locations for the user, wherein each of the plurality of stored test location is associated with a personalized optimal resolution;
• adjust a resolution of the electronic device display to a predetermined default resolution based on the determining that the location of the user is not within the predetermined distance of any of the plurality of stored test locations;
• initiate the display of an image viewing event on the electronic device display, wherein the image viewing event is accompanied by audio;
• detect that the at least one user has moved beyond a predetermined distance from the electronic device display;
• and
• cease the display of the image viewing event, while continuing the audio based on the detecting that the at least one user has moved beyond the predetermined distance from the electronic device display.
