First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor of a device, a parameter based at least in part on an algorithm that evaluates at least two of;
a battery state of the device, an ambient illumination, and an item of content to be displayed;
selecting at least one selected display from among a primary display and a secondary display based at least in part on the determined parameter; and
displaying the item of content on the at least one selected display.

Abstract
This disclosure provides methods and apparatus, including non-transitory processor instructions on computer storage media, which enable a dual-display device to automatically select and render content to a display. Dual-display devices may include devices with a primary and a secondary display, the secondary display consuming less power than the primary display and having reduced glare when viewed in sunlight. In one aspect, the selection of the display may be based upon at least two of: a battery state of the device, an ambient illumination, and an item of content to be displayed.
