1. A mobile device comprising:

  • a sensor that determines that a condition for the mobile device is in one of a first context, second context, or a third context;

    a policy database;

    a context selector that;

    directs a display of the mobile device to display a first image when the mobile device is in the first context based on a first entry of the policy database;

    directs the display to display a second image when the mobile device is in the second context based on a second entry of the policy database; and

    directs the display to display a third image when the mobile device is in the third context based on a third entry of the policy database; and

    an application programming interface;

    wherein the first context represents a non-moving condition for the mobile device, the second context represents a first moving condition for the mobile device, the third context represents a second moving condition for the mobile device, the first image includes a plurality of image components, the second image includes a subset of the image components, the subset including fewer image components than the image components, the third image includes an enhancement of the second image, and the first moving condition represents a slower moving condition than the second moving condition;

    wherein the application programming interface receives, from the context selector module, an instruction to display the second image and sends the instruction to a software stack of the mobile device, wherein the software stack modifies the first image into the second image; and

    wherein in modifying the first image into the second image, the software stack shuts down a thread running on the mobile device.
