Abstract
A screensaver display system of an electronic device includes a timer, an event monitor, a timer controller, a first determining unit, a screensaver generator, and a display module. The timer controller instructs the timer to restart timing when the event monitor detects the occurrence of a predetermined event. The first determining unit determines whether the timer reaches a first threshold. The screensaver generator generates a screensaver, and the display module displays the screensaver to overlay a screen of a display unit of the electronic device.
Claims18
A method of displaying a screensaver in a display unit of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- starting timing by a timer;
- restarting timing by the timer in response to detecting the occurrence of a predetermined event in the electronic device;
- determining whether the timer reaches a first threshold, the first threshold being a predetermined period of time as an activation condition of displaying the screensaver;
- generating a screensaver when the timer times reaches the first threshold;
- and
- displaying the screensaver to overlay a screen of the display unit.
A system for displaying a screensaver in a display unit of an electronic device, the system comprising:
- a timer;
- an event monitor adapted to detect the occurrence of a predetermined event in the electronic device;
- a timer controller adapted to instruct the timer to restart timing when the event monitor detects the occurrence of the predetermined event;
- a first determining unit adapted to determine whether the timer reaches a first threshold, the first threshold being a predetermined period of time as an activation condition of displaying the screensaver;
- a screensaver generator adapted to generate the screensaver when the timer reaches the first threshold;
- and
- a display module adapted to display the screensaver to overlay a screen of the display unit.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a screensaver displaying method, the method comprising:
- starting timing by a timer;
- restarting timing by the timer in response to detecting the occurrence of a predetermined event in the electronic device;
- determining whether the timer reaches a first threshold, the first threshold being a predetermined period of time as an activation condition of displaying the screensaver;
- generating a screensaver when the timer reaches the first threshold;
- and
- displaying the screensaver to overlay a screen of a display unit of the electronic device.
