Abstract
A method is provided for presenting information on a display to a user when the display is operating, at least in part, in a locked or low-power mode. In particular, an example method may include providing for operation of a device in an unrestricted mode, and receiving an indication that an area presented on a display of the device is a designated area, where another area of the display that is not the designated area is an undesignated area. The designated area may include designated information while the undesignated area may include undesignated information. The method may further include providing for operation of the device in a restricted mode, where the designated information is presented in the restricted mode and the undesignated information is not presented in the restricted mode.
