A report interval mode is selected from one of multiple selectable report interval modes in cases where the preferred sensor sample intervals of multiple applications are different. By using multiple selectable report interval modes some of the problems that occur when a single fixed report interval mode is used can be avoided.

Automatic report rate optimization for sensor applications

Described are examples for adjusting display level properties across multiple displays. One or more ranges of display brightness capability values that are supported by a given display device can be received for multiple display devices. For each of the multiple display devices, at least a portion of display brightness capability values in the one or more ranges of display brightness capability values can be mapped to selectable brightness levels available in an operating system. One of the selectable brightness levels can be determined as selected via the operating system. For each of the multiple display devices, a corresponding display brightness capability value mapped to the one of the selectable brightness levels can be determined and indicated to each of the multiple display devices, such that the multiple display devices may set different display brightness capability value brightness, but the brightness may be perceptually similar across the display devices.

Techniques for supporting brightness adjustment across multiple displays

Computing devices and methods for adjusting light output of a display in a user computing device are disclosed. In one example, user-adjusted brightness settings are received from a plurality of computing devices. For each brightness setting, a corresponding environment brightness level determined contemporaneously with execution of the user-adjusted brightness setting is also received. At least one crowd-sourced brightness curve is generated using the user-adjusted brightness settings and the corresponding environment brightness levels. When a trigger event occurs, the at least one crowd-sourced brightness curve is distributed to the user computing device.
