Abstract
Display units for prioritizing requested operational updates are disclosed. A control subsystem is in electronic communication with an electronic display, sensor(s), and a thermal management subsystem. The control subsystem operates the display unit based on operational parameters which are specific to readings from the one or more sensors. Requests to update operational parameters for the display unit are received at the control subsystem and are prioritized for implementation.
Claims17
A display unit for prioritizing requested operational updates, said display unit comprising:
- an electronic display;
- a thermal management subsystem;
- one or more sensors;
- and
- a control subsystem in electronic communication with the electronic display, the one or more sensors, and the thermal management subsystem, where the control subsystem comprises one or more non-transitory electronic storage devices with software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
- operate the display unit based on operational parameters which are specific to readings from the one or more sensors;
- receive requests to update the operational parameters for the display unit;
- for each of the requests, determine a change in value to an associated one or ones of the operational parameters or an expected change in energy consumption for the display unit if the respective request were implemented;
- and
- prioritize the requests for implementation based on the change in value or the expected change in energy consumption.
A display unit for prioritizing requested operational updates, said display unit comprising:
- an electronic display;
- a thermal management subsystem;
- one or more sensors;
- and
- a control subsystem in electronic communication with the electronic display, the one or more sensors, and the thermal management subsystem, where the control subsystem comprises one or more non-transitory electronic storage devices with software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
- operate the display unit based on operational parameters which are specific to readings from the one or more sensors;
- receive requests to update the operational parameters for the display unit;
- prioritize the requests for implementation;
- and
- discard or ignore the requests aside from a highest prioritized one of the requests.
A display unit for prioritizing requested operational updates, said display unit comprising:
- an electronic display;
- a thermal management subsystem;
- one or more sensors;
- and a control subsystem in electronic communication with the electronic display, the one or more sensors, and the thermal management subsystem, where the control subsystem comprises one or more non-transitory electronic storage devices with software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
- operate the display unit based on operational parameters which are specific to readings from the one or more sensors;
- receive requests to update the operational parameters for the display unit, wherein the operational parameters in the requests comprise illumination setpoints for the electronic display or setpoints for the thermal management subsystem;
- and prioritize the requests for implementation by magnitude of proposed change.
