Abstract
In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises measuring a current drawn by a display panel, determining whether the current exceeds a threshold value, and upon determining that the current exceeds the threshold value, causing a light source associated with the display panel to shut off.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining a configuration of an interface being displayed by a display panel;
- determining a threshold current value based on the configuration;
- measuring a first current drawn by the display panel;
- determining whether the first current exceeds the threshold current value;
- and
- upon determining that the first current exceeds the threshold current value, causing a second current providing power to a light source associated with the display panel to be shut off.

A system comprising:
- a memory storing a monitoring application;
- and
- a current measuring circuit that measures a first current drawn by a display panel;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory that executes the monitoring application by performing the steps of:
- determining a configuration of an interface being displayed by the display panel;
- determining a threshold current value based on the configuration;
- receiving, from the current measuring circuit, a first current measurement corresponding to the first current drawn by the display panel;
- determining whether the first current measurement is larger than the threshold current value;
- and
- upon determining that the first current measurement is larger than the threshold current value, causing a second current providing power to a light source associated with the display panel to be shut off.
8 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- determining a configuration of an interface being displayed by a display panel;
- determining a threshold current value based on the configuration;
- measuring a first power consumed by the display panel;
- determining whether the first power exceeds the threshold current value;
- and
- upon determining that the first power exceeds the threshold current value, causing a second power providing power to a light source associated with the display panel to be shut off.
