1. A method for monitoring power consumption in a mobile battery operated device, the device comprising electric circuitry, a display and a battery, the method comprising the steps of:
- executing a software application, during which the software application at least generates display content, detecting, at a plurality of instants of time, at least one electric quantity representative of power output from the battery, detecting at least one triggering event, and in response to the at least one triggering event, recording at least a respective subset of the display content generated by the software application.

Abstract
Event triggered snapshots of display content of software applications facilitate for a user, typically in the role of a software application developer, in the process of power-optimising an application under development. The invention provides the developers with an ability to correlate specific software application events, e.g. user interface events, to power consumption peaks and lows.
