SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE SETTING OF SCAN RATE
Techniques are disclosed for setting a scan rate for an electronic device based on interaction with the user and/or application type.
1 . A computer readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:
setting a first value for a scan rate;
sampling an application based at least in part on user interaction with the application; and
setting a second value for the scan rate based at least in part on the sampling of the application.
2 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the scan rate is for a display of a touch screen device.
3 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the particular application.
4 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the particular electronic device running the application.
5 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the sampling is based on a number of touches by the user.
6 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the setting of the second value for the scan rate is performed for initiation of a subsequent application.
7 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 wherein the setting of the first and second values is based on a predetermined setting for a particular user profile.
8 . A computer readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:
initiating an application on an electronic device in response to a user request;
setting a first value for a scan rate;
sampling the application based at least in part on user interaction with the application; and
setting a second value for the scan rate based at least in part on the sampling of the application.
9 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the application.
10 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the electronic device running the application.
11 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the sampling is based on a speed of touches by the user.
12 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the setting of the second value for the scan rate is performed for initiation of a subsequent application.
13 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the setting of the first and second values is based on a predetermined setting for a particular user profile.
14 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the sampling is based on a number of touches by the user.
15 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the application is stored remotely in a cloud repository and is served to the electronic device in response to the user request.
16 . The computer readable medium of claim 8 wherein the application is stored locally on the electronic device and is launched in response to the user request.
17 . An electronic device comprising:
an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC);
a motherboard;
an interface coupled to the ASIC and motherboard, to facilitate communication therebetween; and
wherein at least one of the ASIC and motherboard operate to adjust a scan rate for a display of the device based at least in part on an application factor.
18 . The electronic device of claim 17 wherein the application factor includes a number of touches by the user and/or a speed of touches by the user.
19 . The electronic device of claim 17 wherein firmware stored on the ASIC determines the adjustment of the scan rate.
20 . The electronic device of claim 17 wherein software on the motherboard stored at a framework layer determines the adjustment of the scan rate.
