Abstract
A battery powered device including power management includes a display, a processor, a video decoder, a networking circuit, and a power allocation process. The power allocation process modifies the power used to process a video by jointly selecting a lower power usage based upon selectively dropping frames to be decoded by the video decoder, and selectively decreasing the illumination of a backlight of the display.
Claims17
A battery powered device including power management comprising:
- (a) a display;
- (b) a processor;
- (c) a video decoder that decodes a bitstream;
- (d) a networking circuit;
- (e) a power allocation system in said decoder that, independent of prior changes in said bitstream through said decoder, selectively lowers power usage by dropping frames using one of a plurality of predetermined patterns automatically selected by said decoder, each of said plurality of patterns stored in memory accessible to said decoder and drop frames when selected for use by said decoder, where selection of one of said plurality of predetermined patterns prevents the use of each other of said plurality of predetermined patterns while the selected one said plurality of predetermined patterns is used to drop frames.
