1. A system comprising:
- a display;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the display and the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to;
cause display of a user interface to provide a choice of policies to take place in response to one or more power events;
receive an indication of a power event,select a policy from a plurality of power management policies, wherein the selected policy is responsive to the power event and based at least on the chosen policy,request to change a display property of the display based on the selected policy and wherein the display property is at least one of a color quality, screen resolution, and screen refresh rate; and
display hardware to selectively adjust at least one display property in response to the request to change a display property.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide automatic switching of display update properties such as screen resolution, pixel depth, and refresh rate in response to a power management event. The display update property may be decreased when power is switched from AC power to DC power, for example, when the system is unplugged from a wall outlet and is running on battery power.

12. A computer-implemented method of determining an image display property comprising:
-
causing display of a user interface for choice of at least one or more power management schemes in response to a power event; receiving an identification of a power event; selecting a scheme from a plurality of power management schemes, wherein the selected scheme is responsive to the power event and based at least on the choice of at least one or more power management schemes; changing an image display property in response to the power event and in accordance with the selected scheme, wherein the image display property is at least one of a color quality, screen resolution, and screen refresh rate; and providing an image for display in accordance with the image display property. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. At least one tangible computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
cause display of a user interface for choice of at least one or more power management schemes in response to a power event; receive an identification of a power event; select a scheme from a plurality of power management schemes, wherein the selected scheme is responsive at least to the power event and based at least on the choice of at least one or more power management schemes; change an image display property in response to the power event and in accordance with the selected scheme, wherein the image display property is at least one of a color quality, screen resolution, and screen refresh rate; and provide an image for display in accordance with the image display property. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
