System and method for managing display power consumption
DCFirst Claim
1. A method, comprisingdisplaying first information in an available display area comprising a first portion of a display screen and associated sensors in a configuration having a plurality of portions, comprisingthe first portion of the display screen and associated sensors, which is configured in a powered-on state to perform display functions and receive user input, anda second portion of the display screen and associated sensors, which is configured in a powered-off state and incapable of receiving user input;
- responsive to a user indication in the in the first portion, adding the second portion to the available display area by transitioning the second portion to the powered-on state to perform display functions and receive user input;
displaying second information in the second portion;
generating the second information by mathematically upscaling the first information, whereinthe second information comprises a portion of the first information upscaled for display in both the second portion and the first portion; and
displaying third information in the first portion, wherein the third information comprises a portion of the first information upscaled for display in both the second portion and the first portion.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing display power consumption are disclosed. In some embodiments first information is displayed in an available display area including a first portion of a display screen in a configuration having a set of portions. The set of portions includes the first portion of the display screen, which is configured in a powered-on state to perform display functions and receive user input, and a second portion of the display screen, which is configured in a powered-off state. Responsive to a user indication in the in the first portion, the second portion is added to the available display area by transitioning the second portion to the powered-on state to perform display functions and receive user input. Second information is displayed in the second portion.
