Abstract
An electronic device performs a method for adjusting a sleep mode display mechanism.

The method further includes adjusting a sleep mode display mechanism of the electronic device when the trusted device is determined to be proximate to the electronic device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- responsive to receiving an indication of a triggering event, determining, by an electronic device and based on information received by a sensing component of the electronic device, whether the electronic device is proximate to a trusted device that is authenticated by the electronic device;
- responsive to determining that the electronic device is proximate to the trusted device, adjusting a privacy setting that controls a sleep mode display mechanism of the electronic device to determine an amount of content that is displayed at a display component of the electronic device while one or more components of the electronic device are in a sleep mode.
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a display component coupled to the at least one processor;
- and
- a sensing component coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- responsive to receiving an indication of a triggering event, determine, based on information received by the sensing component, whether the electronic device is proximate to a trusted device that is authenticated by the electronic device;
- and
- responsive to determining that the electronic device is proximate to the trusted device, adjust a privacy setting that controls a sleep mode display mechanism of the electronic device to determine an amount of content that is displayed at the display component of the electronic device while one or more of the display component or the at least one processor are in a sleep mode.
