  • Patent number: 9524092
    Abstract: Some implementations provide automatic display mode selection for a device, such as a mobile display device, according to a hierarchy of criteria. Each display mode may correspond with a set of display parameter settings, which may include a color depth setting, a brightness setting, etc. In some examples, one of the criteria may correspond with a software application being executed on the device. Some implementations involve creating a display device user profile and controlling a display of a mobile display device according to the user profile. The user profile may be built gradually over some number of days/weeks/months after the first use of the device. In some implementations, display parameter setting information or other device setting information corresponding to data in a user profile, including but not limited to demographic data, may be received by a mobile display device from another device, such as a server.

  • Publication number: 20150348496
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for selecting display operation modes for displaying content on a display device. The display device can utilize user selectable display operation modes for displaying content. Various display operation modes, based on various values of display parameters such as frame rate, color bit depth, maximum brightness level, color gamut, percentages of color gamut, white point, gamma, and the number of subframes or bit-planes per image frame can be presented, for example, to a user, for selection using a user interface. The user interface can be capable of providing the ability to select global display operation modes for all applications running on the display device or to assign display operation modes in-focus applications running on the display device. In some implementations, the display device can automatically select the appropriate display operation mode based, at least, on the content being displayed.
