Mobile Rendering Device and Method Providing Context Aware Power Saving

摘要

A wireless detachable rendering device ( 1 ) having a display ( 10 ) and a wired network connection ( 14 ) to a data server ( 16 ) is equipped with a local storage means ( 11 ) such as a HDD. When device ( 1 ) is docked in a stand, data to be rendered on display is in a best-effort like fashion loaded via the wired connection into the storage means ( 11 ). Thus data is available for undocked use of device ( 1 ). Power consumption is reduced as use of the wireless connection is avoided.
