MOTION DETECTION ENABLED POWER OPTIMIZED DISPLAY

摘要

Various embodiments are directed to a motion sensor in communication with a processing component capable of controlling a television display and a video recording device. The motion sensor may provide motion detection information to the processing component. The processing component may issue control directives capable of manipulating the television. For instance, based on the absence of motion in a viewing area, the processing component may re-direct content to be recorded while also inactivating the television display to conserve energy. Upon receiving information that motion has been detected in the viewing area, the processing component may issue control directives to activate the television display and resume playing the content that was previously being watched. This may all be done without requiring an action on the part of a user.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processing component; and a device manager component operative on the processing component to:
receive signals from a motion sensor;determine presence or absence of motion in a viewing area of a television display based on the signals;generate a first control directive to cause storage of video content to a recording device when there is an absence of motion in the viewing area; andgenerate a second control directive to inactivate a television display when there is an absence of motion in the viewing area.
