Description

Hi,
Would it be possible for the display to turn on when the forward camera detects motion? That way the display wouldn't be "always on". Naturally, the display would need a timeout option. Can we put in user selectable timeout period?

Thanks

Research direction

Start by locating the Android entry points that control display power and read motion from the forward camera. Define how motion detection, a user-selectable timeout, and the existing always-on behavior should interact. Done means the display responds to detected motion and the timeout can be configured without keeping it always on.
