Abstract

An electronic device for detecting static images and reducing resource usage is described. The electronic device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory. The electronic device determines image memory. The electronic device also sets a timer. The electronic device further monitors the image memory. The electronic device also determines whether there is a write access request for the image memory. Furthermore, the electronic device determines whether a time threshold has been reached based on the timer if there is not a write access request for the image memory. The electronic device also reduces display resource usage if the time threshold has been reached.
