Abstract
An electronic device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a display that displays at least one window of at least one application; and a controller that controls the display. The controller acquires first trigger information for starting power saving processing, and starts the power saving processing based on the first trigger information. The controller, in an example of the power saving processing, acquires a still image based on the screen of the display, displays the still image on the display, and minimizes the size of at least one window while the still image is being displayed.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a display that displays at least one window of at least one application;
- a controller that controls the display;
- and
- an input device that receives a command from a user, wherein
- the controller:
- acquires first trigger information for starting power saving processing;
- starts the power saving processing based on the first trigger information;
- acquires second trigger information for canceling the power saving processing;
- and
- starts restoring processing for cancelling the power saving processing based on the second trigger information,
- the controller further, in the power saving processing:
- disables the input device;
- acquires a still image based on a screen of the display;
- displays the still image on top of the at least one window on the screen of the display after disabling the input device;
- and
- minimizes a size of the at least one window behind the still image while the still image is being displayed on top, and
- the controller further, in the restoring processing:
- restores the minimized window behind the still image to the size before the power saving processing has been started;
- undisplays the still image after restoring the minimized window behind the still image;
- and
- enables the input device after undisplaying the still image.

- and
- reduces a size of the at least one window behind the still image while the still image is being displayed on top, and
- the controller further, in the restoring processing:
- restores the size of the reduced window behind the still image to the size before the power saving processing has been started;
- undisplays the still image after restoring the size of the reduced window behind the still image;
- and
- enables the input device after undisplaying the still image.

A control method for an electronic device comprising steps of:
- acquiring first trigger information for starting power saving processing;
- starting the power saving processing based on the acquired first trigger information;
- acquiring second trigger information for canceling the power saving processing;
- and
- starting restoring processing for cancelling the power saving processing based on the second trigger information, wherein
- the power saving processing includes steps of:
- disabling an input device of the electronic device;
- acquiring a still image based on a screen of a display of the electronic device;
- displaying the still image on top of the at least one window on the screen of the display after disabling the input device;
- and
- minimizing a size of at least one window of at least one application behind the still image while the still image is being displayed on top, and
- the restoring processing includes steps of:
- restoring the minimized window behind the still image to the size before the power saving processing has been started;
- undisplaying the still image after restoring the minimized window behind the still image;
- and
- enabling the input device after undisplaying the still image.
