Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
refresh a screen of the electronic device according to a first refresh rate while executing an application, wherein a refresh rate of the screen is adjustable;
identify, concurrent with executing the application at the electronic device and refreshing the screen at the first refresh rate, a rate of user inputs associated with the application;
compare the rate of user inputs with a threshold rate of user inputs;
estimate, based at least in part on the rate of user inputs, a likelihood of a user of the electronic device switching from the application to a second application within a time period;
compare the likelihood of the user switching to the second application within the time period to a second threshold; and
adjust the refresh rate of the screen to a second refresh rate based at least in part on the rate of user inputs satisfying the threshold rate of user inputs, wherein the second refresh rate is greater than the first refresh rate based at least in part on the likelihood of the user switching to the second application within the time period being less than the second threshold.
