Claim Text:
1. A method to adjust a display intensity of a display, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, display instructions, where the display instructions include instructions that relate to display of first output data, the first output data effective to produce a first intensity when rendered by the display; based on a display intensity adjustment algorithm, applying, by the processor, a technique at a first level to the display instructions to generate second output data, the second output data effective to produce a second intensity when rendered by the display, the second intensity being less than the first intensity; sending, by the processor, the second output data to the display; determining, by the processor, that a period of time has passed; in response to the determination that the period of time has passed, based on the display intensity adjustment algorithm, applying, by the processor, the technique at a second level to the display instructions to generate third output data, the third output data effective to produce a third intensity when rendered by the display, the third intensity being less than the second intensity; sending, by the processor, the third output data to the display; based on the display intensity adjustment algorithm, applying, by the processor, the technique at subsequent levels to generate further output data until receipt of a stop command; in response to the receipt of the stop command, generating, by the processor, fourth output data, the fourth output data effective to produce a fourth intensity when rendered by the display, wherein the fourth intensity is less than the first intensity; and sending, by the processor, the fourth output data to the display.
