Abstract
A computational device energizes, at different times, a first set of display elements in a display in accordance with differing values and/or display parameters in response to differing energy management requirements.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- (a) energizing, by a framework and at a first time, a first set of display elements in at least one display in accordance with a first value in a set of display parameters;
- (b) determining, by a framework, at a later second time, and based on a first value of a sensed electronic storage device (ESD) parameter, to reduce energy usage of the first set of display elements;
- (c) in response to step (b), energizing, by the framework, the first set of display elements in accordance with a second value in the set of display parameters, the first and second values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a first level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements at the first time is more than a second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c);
- (d) determining, by a framework, at a later third time, and based on a second value of a sensed ESD parameter, the first and second values of the sensed ESD parameter being different, to reduce further energy usage of the first set of display elements;
- and
- (e) in response to step (d), energizing, by the framework, the first set of display elements in accordance with a third value in the set of display parameters, the second and third values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a third level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (e) is less than the second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c).

A tangible and non-transient computer readable medium, comprising microprocessor executable instructions that, when executed:
- (a) energize, at a first time, a first set of display elements in at least one display in accordance with a first value in a set of display parameters;
- (b) determine, at a later second time, and based on a first value of a sensed electronic storage device (ESD) parameter, to reduce energy usage of the first set of display elements;
- (c) in response to step (b), energize the first set of display elements in accordance with a second value in the set of display parameters, the first and second values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a first level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements at the first time is more than a second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c);
- (d) determine, at a later third time, and based on a second value of a sensed ESD parameter, the first and second values of the sensed ESD parameter being different, to reduce further energy usage of the first set of display elements;
- and
- (e) in response to step (d), energize the first set of display elements in accordance with a third value in the set of display parameters, the second and third values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a third level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (e) is less than the second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c).
