Opportunistically Changing Display Brightness

摘要

Automatically changing the brightness of a display device. A method includes, while the display device is at a first brightness power output level, detecting a power saving event indicating that it is desirable to reduce overall power consumed by the display device. The method further includes continuing to operate the display device at the first power output level while attempting to identify a brightness power output level change triggering event. The brightness power output level change triggering event is an event that occurs that makes a change to the brightness power output level of the display device less perceptible to a user. The method further includes detecting a brightness power output level change triggering event. In response to detecting the brightness power output level change triggering event, the method includes changing the power output level of the display device to a second brightness power output level.

1. In a computing environment, a method of automatically changing the brightness of a display device, the method comprising:
while the display device is at a first brightness power output level, detecting a power saving event indicating that it is desirable to reduce overall power consumed by the display device; continuing to operate the display device at the first power output level while attempting to identify a brightness power output level change triggering event, where the brightness power output level change triggering event is an event that occurs that makes a change to the brightness power output level of the display device less perceptible to a user; detecting a brightness power output level change triggering event; and in response to detecting the brightness power output level change triggering event, changing the power output level of the display device to a second brightness power output level.
