  • Patent number: 12253896
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for power management includes at least one processor configured to, detect first gesture state associated with motion of a device, the first gesture state being associated with meeting a first threshold of device motion, and set, in response to detecting the first gesture state, the device to a first power state. The at least one processor is further configured to detect, subsequent to detecting the first gesture state, a second gesture state associated with motion of the device, the second gesture state being associated with meeting a second threshold of device motion, and set, in response to detecting the second gesture state, the device to a second power state. The at least one processor is further configured to update, based on setting the device to the second power state, image data on a display of the device.

  • Patent number: 12216520
    Abstract: Direct access to device functionality from a low power state of the device is provided. The direct access can be provided without an initial user input to wake the device or the display of the device before activating the desired functionality. The low power state of the device may include a low power state of the display in which the time is persistently displayed, and may include a low power state or an inactive state of a main processor of the device. The direct access can be provided by detecting a type, location, or other aspects of a user input received while the device is in the low power state.

  • Publication number: 20230418413
    Abstract: An electronic device detects a user input while in a lower energy consumption state. After a latency period, while in a higher energy consumption state, the electronic device delivers to an application a sequence of input events that represent the user input, including, in sequence: a first input event, a second input event and a third input event that represent the user input at first, second and third input times and is delivered at first, second and third delivery times. A time interval between the second input time and the second delivery time is smaller than a time interval between the first input time and the first delivery time, and a time interval between the third input time and the third delivery time is smaller than the time interval between the second input time and the second delivery time.

  • Patent number: 11755146
    Abstract: An electronic device, detects a touch input.

  • Patent number: 11670252
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for displaying an image includes a processor configured to, generate, during a first power state of a device, a data structure specifying image frames and a respective display time for each of the image frames, and retrieve, during a second power state of the device and from the data structure, an image frame based on the respective display time for the image frame. The at least one processor is further configured to display, during a third power state of the device, the retrieved image frame on a display of the device.
