ACM HotMobile 2013 demo: Focus: a demo on usable & effective approach to OLED display power management

Abstract

In this demo, we present Focus , a system for effectively and efficiently reducing the power consumption of OLED displays. The key idea of Focus is that we can save display power by dimming the portions of the applications and games that are less important to the user using the notion of saliency. We explain the design considerations driving Focus followed by a description of the implementation and demo of Focus to support both Android applications and games. Focus can save, on average, between 23 and 35% of the OLED display power when applications are used.
