INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AIMING AT THE REDUCTION OF THEIR OWN ENERGY USE ## Abstract Provided herein is a method, apparatus, and computer program product for presenting information on a display to a user when the display is operating in a low, or reduced power mode. In particular, the method includes providing for operation in a user interface state that is configured to present a first amount of information with at least a portion of the first amount of information being presented on a display while operating in a first power mode, selecting information from the first amount of information to create a second amount of information that is a subset of the first amount of information, where the second amount of information is selected from the first amount of information based upon relevancy parameters, and providing for display of a second amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a second power mode. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: providing for operation in a user interface state that is configured to present a first amount of information with at least a portion of the first amount of information being presented on a display while operating in a first power mode; selecting information from the first amount of information to create a second amount of information that is a subset of the first amount of information, wherein the second amount of information is selected from the first amount of information based upon relevancy parameters; providing for display of the second amount of information while operating in a second power mode that is different than the first power mode; and proving for display of a third amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a third power mode, wherein the third amount of information is a subset of the second amount of information, and wherein the third amount of information is selected from the second amount of information based upon relevancy parameters. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the second power mode is configured to consume less power than the first power mode. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the relevancy parameters are configurable by a user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the relevancy parameters vary depending upon the user interface state. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein operating in the second power mode is caused by a predetermined amount of time elapsing without detection of a user input. ### Claim 6 An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform: provide for operation in a user interface state that is configured to present a first amount of information with at least a portion of the first amount of information being presented on a display while operating in a first power mode; provide for selection of information from the first amount of information to create a second amount of information that is a subset of the first amount of information, wherein the second amount of information is selected from the first amount of information based upon relevancy parameters; provide for display of the second amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a second power mode; and provide for display of a third amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a third power mode, wherein the third amount of information is a subset of the second amount of information, and wherein the third amount of information is selected from the second amount of information based upon relevancy parameters. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the second power mode is configured to consume less power than the first power mode. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the relevancy parameters are configurable by a user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the relevancy parameters vary depending upon the user interface state. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein operating in the second power mode is caused by a predetermined amount of time elapsing without detection of a user input. ### Claim 11 A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising: program code instructions for providing for operation in a user interface state that is configured to present a first amount of information with at least a portion of the first amount of information being presented on a display while operating in a first power mode; program code instructions for selecting information from the first amount of information to create a second amount of information that is a subset of the first amount of information, wherein the second amount of information is selected from the first amount of information based upon relevancy parameters; program code instructions for providing for display of the second amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a second power mode; and program code instructions for providing for display of a third amount of information from the user interface state while operating in a third power mode, wherein the third amount of information is a subset of the second amount of information and wherein the third amount of information is selected from the second amount of information based upon relevancy parameters. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the second power mode is configured to consume less power than the first power mode. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein the relevancy parameters vary depending upon the user interface state. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The computer program product according to claim 11, wherein operating in the second power mode is caused by a predetermined amount of time elapsing without detection of a user input.
