System and Method for Display Power Management for Dual Screen Display Device
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a first integrated display device and a second integrated display device attached via a hinge;
a processor to determine a first relative orientation of the first integrated display device to the second integrated display device from a plurality of orientation sensors;
the processor to determine a working software application context by detecting at least one software application running on the information handling system; and
a controller module for restricting power usage by either the first integrated display device or the second integrated display device based on the first relative orientation and the working software application context,wherein the first relative orientation is selected from a plurality of orientation modes determined from hinged relative angle positions of the first integrated display device to the second relative display device.

Abstract
An information handling system may have two display screens including a first integrated display device and a second integrated display device attached via a hinge. A processor determines a first relative orientation of the first integrated display device to the second integrated display device from a plurality of orientation sensors and further determines working software application context by detecting at least one software application running on the information handling system. The system further includes a controller module deploys a power savings strategy. For example, the controller may restrict power usage to the first or second integrated display device based on the first relative orientation and the working software application context.
