Patents by Inventor Daniel J. ETTER

Daniel J. ETTER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11662796
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays one or more representations of power usage of the electronic device, including across various periods of time and subperiods of time within those periods. In some embodiments, the displayed information reflects power usage both for periods of the display being on and periods of the display being off. In some embodiments, the displayed information includes power usage attributed to various mobile applications running on the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays recommendations to reduce the usage of power by the electronic device, which a user has the option of applying. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays prose insight into power usage, indicating causes of the power usage.

  • Publication number: 20220229758
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques for measuring operational performance metrics, and presenting these metrics through an application programming interface (API) for developers to access for optimizing their applications. Exemplary metrics can include central processing unit or graphics processing unit time, foreground/background time, networking bytes (per application), location activity, display average picture luminance, cellular networking condition, peak memory, number of logical writes, launch and resume time, frame rates, and hang time. Regional markers can also be used to measure specific metrics for in application tasks. The techniques provide multiple user interfaces to help developers recognize the important metrics to optimize the performance of their applications. The data can be normalized over various different devices having different battery size, screen size, and processing requirements.
