Display mode selection according to a user profile or a hierarchy of criteria
First Claim
1. A method of customizing display settings of a mobile display device, comprising:
- controlling the mobile display device to provide at least one prompt for preference data, including at least one prompt for a selection among multiple scenarios involving trade-offs between display parameter settings and corresponding power consumption levels;
receiving the preference data via the mobile display device;
adding the preference data to a profile; and
controlling a display of the mobile display device, at least in part, according to the profile, wherein the display parameter settings include color depth settings, each of the color depth settings corresponding to a number of bits used to specify a color depth setting.

Abstract
Some implementations provide automatic display mode selection for a device, such as a mobile display device, according to a hierarchy of criteria. Each display mode may correspond with a set of display parameter settings, which may include a color depth setting, a brightness setting, etc. In some examples, one of the criteria may correspond with a software application being executed on the device. Some implementations involve creating a display device user profile and controlling a display of a mobile display device according to the user profile. The user profile may be built gradually over some number of days/weeks/months after the first use of the device. In some implementations, display parameter setting information or other device setting information corresponding to data in a user profile, including but not limited to demographic data, may be received by a mobile display device from another device, such as a server.

9. A mobile display device, comprising:
-
a display; a user interface system; a network interface; and a control system capable of; controlling the display to provide at least one prompt for preference data, including at least one prompt for a selection among multiple scenarios involving trade-offs between display parameter settings and corresponding power consumption levels; receiving the preference data via the user interface system; adding the preference data to a profile; and controlling the display, at least in part, according to the profile, wherein the control system is further capable of; controlling the mobile display device to provide at least one prompt regarding demographic information; receiving demographic information, responsive to the at least one prompt, via the user interface system; transmitting, via the network interface, the demographic information to an apparatus; receiving, from the apparatus and via the network interface of the mobile display device, default display parameter setting information corresponding to the demographic information; and adding the default display parameter setting information to the profile. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a network interface system; and a control system capable of; receiving demographic information, via the network interface, from a mobile display device; determining default display parameter setting information corresponding to the demographic information; adding the default display parameter setting information to a profile; and providing profile information corresponding to the profile, via the network interface, to the mobile display device, the profile information including the default display parameter setting information;
wherein the control system is further capable of;receiving, via the network interface system, an indication that a plurality of software applications is currently being executed by the mobile display device; determining display mode information for controlling a display of the mobile display device based, at least in part, on a hierarchy of display modes; and transmitting, via the network interface system, the display mode information to the mobile display device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory medium having software stored thereon, the software including instructions for controlling at least one device to:
-
determine at least one criterion of a hierarchy of criteria that includes a battery state of a mobile display device, a luminance of ambient light and ambient temperature; and select, based at least in part on the at least one criterion, a display mode from among a plurality of display modes for controlling a display of the mobile display device, each display mode corresponding with a set of display parameter settings, the display parameter settings including a color depth setting selected from a plurality of color depth settings, wherein determining the at least one criterion of the hierarchy of criteria involves receiving battery state information for the mobile display device and wherein the software further includes instructions for controlling at least one device to; determine whether the battery state information indicates that the battery has less than a power threshold level remaining; and
, if the battery state indicates that the battery has less than the power threshold level remaining,select a black and white display mode for controlling the display. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
