Power-efficient dynamic application content display for electronic devices

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory storing a user account;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• obtain user power consumption information for the user account;
• provide, at the electronic device, processing power consumption information, for each of a plurality of underlying applications at the electronic device that are each associated with a different respective displayable graphical element of a plurality of graphical elements,
• wherein each underlying application configured to receive and display, via their respective graphical element, updated application-specific information on the electronic device while a full user interface of each underlying application is not displayed on the electronic device, and wherein the processing power consumption information for each underlying application is based on at least one of:
• an update frequency with which that underlying application obtains and provides the updated application-specific information for display with its respective graphical element, an update frequency with which the updated application-specific information is displayed in the respective graphical element, and a power consumption value associated with a single instance of obtaining the updated application-specific information;
• determine a subset of the plurality of underlying applications based at least in part on the user power consumption information and the processing power consumption information;
• and
• display a visual arrangement of a subset of graphical elements of the plurality of graphical elements corresponding to the subset of the plurality of underlying applications at the electronic device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, by an electronic device, user power consumption information for a user account of the electronic device;
• providing, at the electronic device, processing power consumption information, for each of a plurality of underlying applications at the electronic device that are each associated with a different respective displayable graphical element of a plurality of graphical elements,
• wherein each underlying application configured to receive and display, via their respective graphical element, updated application-specific information on the electronic device while a full user interface of each underlying application is not displayed on the electronic device, and wherein the processing power consumption information for each underlying application is based on at least one of:
• an update frequency with which that underlying application obtains and provides the updated application-specific information for display with its respective graphical element, an update frequency with which the updated application-specific information is displayed in the respective graphical element, and a power consumption value associated with a single instance of obtaining the updated application-specific information;
• determining, by the electronic device, a subset of the plurality of underlying applications based at least in part on the user power consumption information and the processing power consumption information;
• and
• displaying, by the electronic device, a visual arrangement of a subset of graphical elements of the plurality of graphical elements corresponding to the subset of the plurality of underlying applications at the electronic device.
