Patent ID: 8407502

Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: determining, at a battery-powered computing device including one or more processors and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a power remaining in a battery of the battery-powered computing device; determining, at the battery-powered computing device, a selected operating mode from a plurality of operating modes for the battery-powered computing device based on the power remaining in the battery, the plurality of operating modes including first, second, and third operating modes corresponding to first, second, and third ranges of power remaining in the battery, respectively, the first range being greater than the second range and the second range being greater than the third range; and adjusting, at the battery-powered computing device, operation of the battery-powered computing device based on the selected operating mode, wherein adjusting operation of the battery-powered computing device includes: for the first operating mode, disabling blur and animation functions of the OLED display, for the second operating mode, (i) disabling blur and animation functions of the OLED display and (ii) decreasing a resolution of images displayable on the OLED display, and for the third operating mode, (i) disabling blur and animation functions of the OLED display, (ii) decreasing the resolution of images displayable on the OLED display, and (iii) commanding the OLED display to display only black and red colors.
