Computer resource utilization reduction devices

A system for reducing computing resource utilization associated with orientation of data on a display device, comprising:

• a center of room control (CoRC) device;
• and
• a host computing device coupled to the CoRC device via a universal serial bus (USB) bus connection;
• wherein the CoRC device comprises:
• a display device;
• a sensor;
• and
• a measurement module to:
• send a heartbeat of data obtained by the sensor to the host computing device at a first data transfer frequency;
• compare a plurality of data most recently received from the sensor to a current data measurement;
• and
• in response to a difference between the current data most recently received and any of the plurality of data exceeding a threshold, send the current data measurement to the host computing device at a second data transfer frequency.

A method of reducing computing resource utilization associated with orientation of data on a display device, comprising:

• with an accelerometer electrically coupled to the display device, sending a heartbeat of orientation data to a host device at a first data transfer frequency;
• with a processor, comparing a plurality of orientation data most recently received from the accelerometer for at least one axis of orientation to a current data orientation measurement;
• in response to a difference between the current data orientation measurement and any of the plurality of orientation data most recently received exceeding a threshold, sending the current orientation data to the host device at a second data transfer frequency;
• and
• adjusting content displayed on the display device based on the current orientation data received by the host device.
