METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEVICE DISPLAY SCREEN TRANSITION RELATED TO DEVICE POWER MONITORING
A method and system for deploying a display screen of an electronic personal display device. The device includes a processor, primary and secondary touch screen displays, and a memory storing instructions and an e-book, the e-book having content displayable according to a sequence of digitally constructed pages. The method comprises monitoring a device battery power level while displaying the digital content item at the primary touchscreen display, detecting that a threshold battery power level is reached, and transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the digital content item for reading thereon.
1 . A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a primary and a secondary touch screen displays, a memory storing instructions and a digital content item displayable on the display screen, the method comprising:
monitoring a device battery power level while displaying the digital content item at the primary touchscreen display;
in response to the monitoring, detecting that a threshold battery power level is reached; and
transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the digital content item for reading thereon.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the primary display screen comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the primary display screen comprises a light emitting diode (LED) screen.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the secondary display screen is a bi-stable e-ink display screen.
5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising de-activating the primary display screen for operation upon rendering the e-book content for reading on the secondary display screen.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the digital content item content is one of: an e--book, an e-magazine and an e-comic.
7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising requesting an approval via manual user input at the primary touch screen display before transitioning operation to the secondary touchscreen display.
8 . The method of claim 1 wherein the secondary display screen is detachably configured with the computing device.
9 . The method of claim 8 wherein the detachable secondary display screen is foldable over the primary display screen.
10 . The method of claim 9 further comprising de-activating the primary display screen for operation upon folding the secondary display screen thereover.
11 . A computing device comprising:
a primary and a secondary touch screen displays;
a memory that stores a set of instructions, the memory including a digital content item renderable on the touch screen displays; and
a processor that accesses the instructions in memory, the processor further configured to:
monitor a device battery power level while displaying the digital content item at the primary touchscreen display;
detect that a threshold battery power level is reached; and
transition operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the digital content item thereon.
12 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the primary display screen comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.
13 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the secondary display screen is an e-ink display screen.
14 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the secondary display screen is a bi-stable display screen.
15 . The computing device of claim 11 further comprising de-activating the primary display screen for operation in rendering the digital content item.
16 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the digital content item content is one of: an e-book, an e-magazine and an e-comic.
17 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein a manual user input is required at the primary touch screen display before transitioning operation to the secondary touchscreen display.
18 . The computing device of claim 11 wherein the secondary display screen is detachably configured with the computing device.
19 . The computing device of claim 18 wherein the detachable secondary display screen is foldable over the primary display screen.
20 . The computing device of claim 19 wherein the primary display screen is deactivated for operation upon folding the secondary display screen thereover.
