Touchscreen with dynamically-defined areas having different scanning modes
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying one or more possible inputs for an activity monitoring device based on a state of the activity monitoring device, the one or more possible inputs being defined to be entered via a touchscreen of the activity monitoring device;
identifying a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with the one or more possible inputs, the second region being defined outside the first region;
establishing in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch; and
establishing in the second region a second touchscreen setting for scanning the second region, wherein the first touchscreen setting defines higher processing than the second touchscreen setting, wherein operations of the method are executed by a processor.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and computer programs are presented for managing power consumption by a display. One method includes an operation for identifying one or more possible inputs for an activity monitoring device based on a state of the activity monitoring device. The one or more possible inputs are defined to be entered via a touchscreen of the activity monitoring device. Further, the method identifies a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with the one or more possible inputs, and the second region being defined outside the first region. Further, the method includes operations for establishing in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch, and for establishing in the second region a second touchscreen setting for scanning the second region, where the first touchscreen setting defines higher processing than the second touchscreen setting.

16. A method comprising:
-
identifying an input expected for the activity monitoring device based on a state of the activity monitoring device, the input being defined to be entered via a touchscreen of the activity monitoring device; identifying a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with an area of the touchscreen associated with the input, the second region being defined outside the first region; establishing in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch; and suppressing scanning for touch in the second region, wherein operations of the method are executed by a processor. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. An activity monitoring device comprising:
-
a motion sensor; a display with a touchscreen; a memory having a computer program for a display driver that drives the display; and a processor for identifying one or more possible inputs to be entered via the touchscreen based on a state of the activity monitoring device, the processor identifying a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with the one or more possible inputs, the second region being defined outside the first region, wherein the processor establishes in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch, wherein the processor establishes in the second region a second touchscreen setting for scanning the second region, wherein the first touchscreen setting defines higher processing than the second touchscreen setting. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for managing power consumption in an activity monitoring device that is configured to accompany a user, the computer-readable storage medium comprising:
-
program instructions for identifying one or more possible inputs for an activity monitoring device based on a state of the activity monitoring device, the one or more possible inputs being defined to be entered via a touchscreen of the activity monitoring device; program instructions for identifying a first region and a second region in the touchscreen, the first region being associated with the one or more possible inputs, the second region being defined outside the first region; program instructions for establishing in the first region a first touchscreen setting for scanning the first region for touch; and program instructions for establishing in the second region a second touchscreen setting for scanning the second region, wherein the first touchscreen setting defines higher processing than the second touchscreen setting. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
