Abstract
Systems and methods for a demo mode for a computing device are disclosed. In some implementations, a computing device receives a first input for entering a demo mode. The computing device prompts, in response to the first input, for a user input indicating whether the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. The computing device receives the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. The computing device enters the demo mode responsive to the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. Entering the demo mode includes adjusting battery settings of the computing device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a first input for entering a demo mode;
- prompting, in response to the first input, for a user input indicating whether the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode;
- receiving the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode;
- and
- entering the demo mode of the computing device responsive to the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode, wherein entering the demo mode includes adjusting battery settings of the computing device.
A method comprising:
- determining that a computing device is in a demo mode and connected to a charging station;
- charging, using the charging station, a battery of the computing device;
- determining a battery charge level of the battery;
- and
- in response to determining that the computing device is in the demo mode and connected to the charging station:
- stopping charging the battery if the battery charge level is at least a first threshold battery charge level, stopping charging the battery, wherein the first threshold battery charge level is below 100% of full battery charge;
- charging the battery if the battery charge level is at most a second threshold battery charge level, wherein the second threshold battery charge level is at least a predetermined difference below the first threshold battery charge level;
- and
- consuming power for operating the computing device from the charging station, and consuming power from the battery upon determining that the power from the charging station is insufficient if the computing device is connected to the charging station and not being charged.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a first input for entering a demo mode;
- prompt, in response to the first input, for a user input indicating whether the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode;
- receive the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode;
- and
- enter the demo mode of the computing device responsive to the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode, wherein entering the demo mode includes adjusting battery settings of the computing device.
