Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the lighted display of a mobile device are disclosed. The backlight of or active power supplied to a display is reduced or deactivated after a certain period based on the application running on the mobile device, rather than being a uniform deactivation time. The system and method can be used on a variety of mobile devices having a display screen.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes computer-implemented graphics frame buffer process that establishes on a computing device a graphics frame buffer accessible to be written by an application process and to be read by a graphics server process. The method further comprises generating a plurality of control bits whose value or values control access to the frame buffer by the application process and the graphics server process and reading frames from the frame buffer using the value or values in the plurality of control bits.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is presented. The technique can include determining, at a computing device including one or more processors, a power remaining in a battery of the computing device. The technique can include determining, at the computing device, a selected operating mode from a plurality of operating modes for the computing device based on the power remaining in the battery. Each of the plurality of operating modes can correspond to a different range of power remaining in the battery of the computing device. The technique can also include adjusting, at the computing device, operation of the computing device based on the selected operating mode. The selected operating mode can be associated with one or more display functions of the computing device, and adjusting operation of the computing device can include adjusting operation of the one or more display functions to adjust power usage of the computing device.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes computer-implemented graphics frame buffer process that establishes on a computing device a graphics frame buffer accessible to be written by an application process and to be read by a graphics server process. The method further comprises generating a token whose value or values control access to the frame buffer by the application process and the graphics server process and reading frames from the frame buffer using the value or values in the token.
