Abstract
Some embodiments involve determination of a first characteristic associated with a first interface displayed by a display, and determination of a second characteristic associated with a second interface displayed by the display. Embodiments may further involve determination of a first power consumption mode for the first interface based at least on the first characteristic, and determination of a second power consumption mode for the second interface based at least on the second characteristic, wherein the first power consumption mode is different from the second power consumption mode.

22. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display to display a plurality of interfaces;
a display controller coupled to the display; and
a processor coupled to the display controller, the processor to;
determine a first characteristic associated with a first one of the plurality of interfaces, a second characteristic associated with a second one of the plurality of interfaces, a first power consumption mode for the first one of the plurality of interfaces based at least on the first characteristic, and a second power consumption mode for the second one of the plurality of interfaces based at least on the second characteristic; and
instruct the display controller to control the display to display the first interface according to the first power consumption mode, and to display the second interface according to the second power consumption mode, wherein the first power consumption mode is different from the second power consumption mode. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
