Abstract

One aspect provides a method, including: displaying, on a display device, display data; implementing, using a processor, a first power setting for the display device; accessing, using a processor, context data associated with the display data during use of the first power setting; mapping, using a processor, the context data to a predetermined display context, the predetermined display context being associated with a display setting; and switching, using the processor, the first power setting to the display setting of the display context. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (37)

1. A method, comprising:

displaying, on a display device, display data;

implementing, using a processor, a first power setting for the display device;

accessing, using a processor, context data associated with the display data during use of the first power setting;

mapping, using a processor, the context data to a predetermined display context, the predetermined display context being associated with a display setting; and

switching, using the processor, the first power setting to the display setting of the display context, wherein the switching comprises modifying the power setting of the display device for the display data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping comprises parsing text of the display data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping comprises parsing a resource address associated with the display data, and matching the resource address with a predetermined display context.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the context data is derived at least in part from a user history.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the context data is derived at least in part from the user.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the context data is derived from user input to a component temporarily affecting the display during use of the first power setting.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first power setting comprises a power savings mode.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the context data comprises data derived from user image data captured via a camera operatively coupled to the display device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the context data comprises data derived from repeatedly captured user image data.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a display device;

at least one processor operatively coupled to the display device; and

a memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to:

display on the display device display data;

implement a first power setting for the display device;

access context data associated with the display data during use of the first power setting;

map the context data to a predetermined display context, the predetermined display context being associated with a display setting; and

switch the first power setting to the display setting of the display context, wherein to switch comprises modifying the power setting of the display device for the display data.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein to map comprises parsing text of the display data.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein to map comprises parsing a resource address associated with the display data, and matching the resource address with a predetermined display context.

13. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the context data is derived at least in part from a user history.

14. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the context data is derived at least in part from the user.

15. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein the context data is derived from user input to a component temporarily affecting the display during use of the first power setting.

16. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the first power setting comprises a power savings mode.

17. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein the context data comprises data derived from user image data captured via a camera operatively coupled to the display device.

18. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that displays, on a display device, display data;

code that implements, using a processor, a first power setting for the display device;

code that accesses, using a processor, context data associated with the display data during use of the first power setting;

code that maps, using a processor, the context data to a predetermined display context, the predetermined display context being associated with a display setting; and

code that switches, using the processor, the first power setting to the display setting of the display context, wherein the code that switches comprises code that modifies the power setting of the display device for the display data.
