System and method of timing execution of a digital display device protective compensation process to coincide with predicted periods of user inactivity

A method of scheduling automatic execution of machine readable code instructions of a digital display device protective compensation system during a predicted period of user inactivity of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) digital display device comprising:

• routinely sample pixel value data, via a scaler hardware controller executing machine readable code instructions of a firmware level digital display device protective compensation process activity determination system, for a plurality of pixel grid zones of an OLED display screen panel of the OLED digital display device, where each pixel grid zone comprises a subset of plurality of pixels from a contiguous area of the OLED display screen panel;
• determining, via the scaler hardware controller executing machine readable code instructions, a first zone wide pixel value average for each of the plurality of pixel grid zones at a first pixel value sample measurement time and a second zone wide pixel value average for each of the plurality of pixel grid zones at a second pixel value sample measurement time;
• comparing, via the scaler hardware controller executing machine readable code instructions, the first zone wide pixel value average and the second zone wide pixel value average to determine any changes in pixel values for each of the plurality of pixel grid zones as a measure of OLED display screen panel activity;
• determining, at the scaler hardware controller executing machine readable code instructions, notification of a future predicted input/output (IO) device inactivity window occurrence from an operating system(S) level digital display device protective compensation process activity determination system from inputs of current or recent measurements for IO device activity for all operatively coupled IO devices to an operatively coupled information handling system with the OLED digital display device into a predictive machine learning model trained on the historical IO device activity measurements for those IO devices and to output the future predicted IO device inactivity window;
• placing an OLED digital display device in a standby mode and automatically executing, via the scaler hardware controller, a display device protective compensation system to identify and adjust degraded pixels for the OLED display screen panel to prevent panel damage from extended use when none of the plurality of pixel grid zones has the zone wide change in pixel values that exceeds an average pixel value change threshold value that is limited to occurring during the received future predicted IO device inactivity window;
• and
• aborting the automatic execution of the digital display device protective compensation system by the scaler hardware controller when any one of the plurality of pixel grid zones has the zone wide change in pixel values that exceeds an average pixel value change threshold value.

• and
• the scaler hardware controller executing machine readable code instructions of a digital display device protective compensation system to automatically execute the display device protective compensation process when none of the plurality of pixel grid zones has the zone wide change in pixel values that exceeds an average pixel value change threshold value only during the received future predicted IO device inactivity window.
