Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Where the following description refers to the drawings, the same numerals in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the illustrative examples below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a brightness control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method shown in this embodiment may be applied to a terminal, where the terminal includes but is not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and wearable devices. The following embodiments mainly illustrate the present disclosure in the case that the terminal is a mobile phone.

In one embodiment, a screen is provided on the front of the terminal, wherein the screen may be a liquid crystal display screen or an organic light emitting diode display screen. The screen includes a continuous display area, wherein the continuous display area can be set at any position on the screen as required, and the continuous display area can be one area or multiple areas. A first light sensor is disposed on the back of the terminal, and the first light sensor can sense the brightness of the ambient light, and the sensing result is the first ambient light brightness.

As shown in Figure 3, the brightness control method may include the following steps:

In step S101, acquiring the first ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor;

In step S102, when an area on the front of the terminal other than the continuous display area is covered, the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted according to the first ambient light brightness.

In one embodiment, a cover, such as a leather case, may be provided outside the terminal to protect the terminal. The user may operate the kit so that the kit covers the front of the terminal, or does not cover the front of the terminal.

A window is provided in the kit, and the continuous display area corresponds to the window. The window can be hollowed out or provided with a transparent protective layer. When the kit covers the front of the terminal, due to the existence of the window, the screen on the front of the terminal except the continuous display area is covered. In this case, the continuous display area can continue to display content, and the screen except the continuous display area Other areas will stop displaying content. It should be noted that when the transparent protective layer is located on the continuous display area, since the continuous display area can still be viewed through the transparent protective layer, the continuous display area is also not covered.

In one embodiment, the brightness of the ambient light may be sensed by the first light sensor to obtain the first brightness of the ambient light, wherein the first light sensor may be activated as required.

Since the front of the terminal is covered except for the continuous display area, the second light sensor located on the front of the terminal is also covered, and the second light sensor cannot accurately sense ambient light brightness. In this case, this embodiment can adjust the display brightness of the continuous display area according to the first ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor on the back of the terminal. Since the first light sensor is not covered, the ambient light brightness can be accurately sensed , and then accurately adjust the display brightness of the continuous display area according to the first ambient light brightness, so as to ensure that the user has a good visual effect when viewing the continuous display area.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another brightness control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4 , the terminal further includes an acceleration sensor, and when the front of the terminal except the continuous display area is covered, the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted according to the brightness of the first ambient light Previously, the method included:

In step S103, the attitude of the terminal is determined according to the acceleration information sensed by the acceleration sensor;

Wherein, when an area on the front of the terminal other than the continuous display area is covered, adjusting the display brightness of the continuous display area according to the first ambient light brightness includes:

In step S1021, if the posture of the terminal is placed horizontally and the brightness of the first ambient light is zero, when the front of the terminal except the continuous display area is covered, obtain the When the posture is not placed horizontally, the last ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor;

In step S1022, the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted according to the latest ambient light brightness.

In one embodiment, although the first light sensor disposed on the back of the terminal can accurately sense the ambient light brightness when the area on the front of the terminal other than the continuous display area is covered, when the user places the mobile phone horizontally on the On some objects, for example, when the terminal is placed horizontally on a desktop, the back of the terminal will be blocked. In this case, the brightness of the ambient light cannot be accurately sensed by the first light sensor.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problem under payment, an acceleration sensor is set in the terminal in this embodiment, and the attitude of the terminal is determined according to the acceleration information sensed by the acceleration sensor.

If the posture of the terminal is placed horizontally and the brightness of the first ambient light is zero, it can be determined that the terminal is placed horizontally on some objects, and the first light sensor is blocked, then divide the front of the terminal by When the area other than the continuous display area is covered, the display brightness of the continuous display area should not be adjusted according to the ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor in real time, but it can be obtained that when the posture of the terminal is not horizontal, the The last ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor.

When the posture of the terminal is not horizontal, the first light sensor is not blocked, so the brightness of the ambient light can be accurately sensed, and the latest ambient light brightness sensed by the first light sensor is obtained, which is the closest to the ambient light brightness at the current moment. If it is close, then the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted according to the last ambient light brightness, so that the display brightness of the continuous display area can be adjusted more accurately to adapt to the current ambient light brightness.

In one embodiment, the first light sensor can also be set on the side wall of the terminal, so even if the terminal is placed horizontally on some objects, it will not block the first light sensor, so that the first light sensor can be real-time based on the first light sensor. The sensed first ambient light brightness is used to adjust the display brightness of the continuous display area.

In step S104, the attitude of the terminal is determined according to the acceleration information sensed by the acceleration sensor;

In step S105, if the posture of the terminal is placed horizontally, the brightness of the first ambient light is zero, and the front of the terminal is not covered at the first moment within the duration of the horizontal placement of the terminal, At the second moment within the duration, the front of the terminal is covered except for the continuous display area, and the second ambient light brightness sensed by the second light sensor at the first moment is acquired, wherein, the first moment is before the second moment;

In step S106, when the front of the terminal is covered except for the continuous display area, the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted according to the second ambient light brightness.

In one embodiment, a second light sensor may also be provided on the front of the terminal, wherein the second light sensor may be located under the screen, or may be located in a frame area outside the screen, which may be set as required.

If the posture of the terminal is placed horizontally and the brightness of the first ambient light is zero, it can be determined that the terminal is placed horizontally on some object and the first light sensor is blocked. In this case, if it is further determined that the front side of the terminal is not covered at the first moment within the duration of the horizontal placement of the terminal, at the second moment within the duration, the front side of the terminal is divided by the The area outside the continuous display area is covered, indicating that the first light sensor is blocked first, and the second light sensor is blocked later. Then the ambient light brightness sensed by the second light sensor at the first moment is different from that of the first light sensor. The ambient light brightness sensed at the second moment is closer to the ambient light brightness at the current moment.

Therefore, the brightness of the second ambient light sensed by the second light sensor at the first moment can be acquired, and when the area on the front of the terminal other than the continuous display area is covered, according to the second ambient light The brightness adjustment of the display brightness of the continuous display area is beneficial to ensure that the display brightness of the continuous display area is adjusted more accurately to suit the current ambient light brightness.

Moreover, the first light sensor and the flashlight of the terminal are arranged in the same opening, and there is no need to provide a separate opening for the first light sensor, which can reduce the number of openings on the back of the terminal, which is beneficial to ensure the structural strength of the terminal and simplify the Craftsmanship.

In addition, even if the kit also covers the back of the mobile phone, a hollow area can be set at the position corresponding to the opening of the kit to ensure that the light emitted by the flash can be emitted while ensuring that the first light sensor can normally sense the brightness of the ambient light.

Wherein, a lens may also be provided on the back of the terminal, and the specific number and position of the lens may be set as required, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Optionally, the continuous display area is one area or multiple areas.
