Abstract
An example computing device includes a connector. The connector is to mate with a display unit. The connector is to receive power from the display unit and output a display signal to the display unit. The computing device includes a non-transitory computer readable medium. The computing device also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium. The processor is to determine a form factor of the display unit. The processor also is to adjust at least one of a resolution and an orientation of an image to be included in the display signal based on the form factor.
Claims14
A computing device, comprising:
- a connector to mate with a display unit, the connector to receive power from the display unit and output a display signal to the display unit;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium, the processor to:
- determine a form factor of the display unit, including a display size associated with the display unit, and
- adjust a processor speed based on the form factor and the display size.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, using a processor, a connection of a computing device comprising the processor to a display unit, wherein the connection transfers power from the display unit to the computing device and a display signal from the computing device to the display unit;
- retrieving, using the processor, an indication of a form factor of the display unit including a display size associated with the display unit;
- and
- adjusting, using the processor, a power profile of the processor based on the indication of the form factor and the display size.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- detect a connection to a remote device that provides power to a local device;
- retrieve an indication of a form factor of the remote device, wherein the indication of the form factor includes information about user interfaces, power profile information, information about peripheral components of the remote device, and a display size of a display unit;
- and
- configuring operation of the local device based on the indication of the form factor, including configuring operation of the processor or another processor based on the display size.
