Abstract

A computing device, such as a mobile communication device, is provided that adjusts, based on user interaction with the device, sleep times for a display to enter a sleep mode restricting use of a graphical user interface. The device includes a display providing the graphical user interface and a processor. The processor is configured to cause the display to enter the sleep mode after a sleep time without receiving any user inputs, increase the sleep time responsive to a user input received within a predetermined period of time after entry of the sleep mode and decrease the sleep time responsive to another user input directing the display to enter the sleep mode before passage of the sleep time. The processor may execute similar processes to adjust a plurality of sleep times associated with different applications and different functions within an application.
