POWER-EFFICIENT DYNAMIC APPLICATION CONTENT DISPLAY FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17679049 titled 'POWER-EFFICIENT DYNAMIC APPLICATION CONTENT DISPLAY FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

The subject technology relates to power consuming processes of electronic devices. It involves an electronic device that can create, initiate, and modify power consuming processes based on user power consumption information. The device can recommend power consumption adjustments for users based on their typical power consumption levels. Additionally, a power consumption process may include a visual arrangement of graphical elements that display updated information from an application when the full user interface is not displayed.

Explanation

  • Electronic devices can adjust power consumption processes based on user power consumption information.
  • Low power consumption users may be recommended to increase power consumption, while high power consumption users may be recommended to decrease power consumption.
  • A visual arrangement of graphical elements can display updated information from an application even when the full user interface is not displayed.

Potential Applications

  • Smartphones and tablets can optimize power consumption based on user habits.
  • Smart home devices can adjust power consumption based on user preferences.
  • Wearable devices can provide power consumption recommendations to users.

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient power consumption by electronic devices can be addressed.
  • Users can be guided to optimize their power consumption habits.
  • Power consumption information can be displayed in a visually appealing manner.

Benefits

  • Improved energy efficiency of electronic devices.
  • Increased user awareness and control over power consumption.
  • Enhanced user experience through visual display of power consumption information.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the subject technology relate to power consuming processes of electronic devices. For example, an electronic device may create, initiate, and/or modify a power consuming process of the electronic device, based in part on user power consumption information that indicates a typical amount of power consumed by a user of the electronic device. The electronic device may recommend increases in power consumption for low power consumption users and/or decreases in power consumption for high power consumption users. A power consumption process may include a visual arrangement of graphical elements that each display periodically, occasionally, and/or continuously updated information from the application, when a full user interface of the application is not displayed.
