Abstract: The subject technology provides structured-shutdown-mode versions of a video view of a physical setting of an electronic device. An electronic device may provide, at a first power consumption rate, a video view of a portion of the physical setting, the portion being physically blocked from being directly viewed by a user of the device, by the electronic device itself. Structured-shutdown-mode versions of a video view may be provided, at a second power consumption rate lower than the first power consumption rate, to a display of an electronic device when the device determines that it is in a low power or failure state. In this way, the electronic device can reduce the functionality and power consumption of the display in a structured manner, to continue to provide a version of the video view to the user in the low power or failure mode state.

Abstract: Data relating to the status of a vehicle, an internal combustion engine powering the vehicle, and various filtration systems that provide filtered fluid to the vehicle and/or internal combustion engine is generated or gathered by an engine control module and a filtration monitoring system. The engine control module and the filtration monitoring system provide the data to a telematics system for transmitting the data to a remote data center (e.g., a cloud computing system, a remote diagnostics system, a maintenance system, etc.). Depending on an availability of a cellular data connection, the data is either sent directly to the remote data center via a network, or indirectly by first transmitting the data over a local connection to an operator device (e.g., a smartphone), which then sends the data to the remote data center once a connection to the network is available.
