METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE SCAN RATE FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Techniques are disclosed for setting a scan rate for an electronic device based on interaction with the user and/or application type.
1 . A method for setting a scan rate, 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 method of claim 1 wherein the scan rate is for a display of a touch screen device.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the particular application.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the particular electronic device running the application.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the sampling is based on a number of touches by the user.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the setting of the second value for the scan rate is performed for initiation of a subsequent application.
7 . The method 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 method for setting a scan rate 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 method of claim 8 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the application.
10 . The method of claim 8 wherein setting the first value includes setting a maximum scan rate for the electronic device running the application.
11 . The method of claim 8 wherein the sampling is based on a speed of touches by the user.
12 . The method of claim 8 wherein the setting of the second value for the scan rate is performed for initiation of a subsequent application.
13 . The method 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 method of claim 8 wherein the sampling is based on a number of touches by the user.
15 . The method 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 method 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 system, comprising:
a display; and
a controller configured to set a first value for a scan rate, and to sample an application based at least in part on user interaction with the application, and to set a second value for the scan rate based at least in part on the sampling of the application.
18 . The system of claim 17 wherein the system is one of an eReader device or a tablet computing device.
19 . The system of claim 17 wherein the display and controller are implemented in an electronic computing device, and the system further comprises a server for providing access to the application in response to user requests from the electronic computing device.
20 . The system of claim 17 wherein the display is a touch screen display and the controller is a touch screen controller.
