Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a mobile communication device operating in a low-power mode, a triggering event signaling that content is to be output at a display of the mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device includes a low-power processor and an application processor; determining, by the mobile communication device, a resolution setting of the display; determining, by the mobile communication device, an ambient light level at the mobile communication device; generating, by the mobile communication device, based on the resolution setting of the display and the ambient light level at the mobile communication device, a geometrical pattern of display pixel rows to be skipped during output of the content; outputting, by the low-power processor of the mobile communication device, and for display at the display, a first subset of the content in accordance with the geometrical pattern of display pixel rows to be skipped; and outputting, by the application processor of the mobile communication device, and for display at the display, a second subset of the content in accordance with the geometrical pattern of display pixel rows to be skipped.
