The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, and are only for explaining the embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the present invention provides a control method for an electronic device 100, including the following steps:

S01, setting a predetermined display brightness corresponding to a predetermined time period according to user input;

S02, detecting that the system time of the electronic device 100 is within a predetermined period of time;

The control device 110 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a setting module 111, a detection module 112 and an adjustment module 113, which can be used to implement S01, S02 and S03 respectively, that is to say, the setting module 111 is used to set a predetermined time period according to user input The corresponding predetermined display brightness; the detection module 112 is used to detect the predetermined time period in which the system time of the electronic device 100 is; the adjustment module 113 is used to adjust the screen brightness to the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period in which the system time is in. The control device may further include a sensing module 118 , a difference calculation module 119 , a difference judgment module 121 , and an environment regulation module 122 for realizing S04 , S05 , S06 and S07 . That is to say, the sensing module 118 is used to sense the ambient brightness; the difference calculation module 119 is used to calculate the difference between the ambient brightness and the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period of the system time; the difference judgment module 121 is used to judge Whether the difference is greater than a predetermined difference is used to trigger the adjustment module 113 when the judgment is no; the environment adjustment module 122 is used to adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness when the difference judgment module 121 judges yes.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , the control device 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention can apply the electronic device 100 related to the embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 100 can be a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The electronic device 100 may include a light sensor 150 or an image acquisition device 170 for sensing ambient brightness. The image acquisition device 170 may be a camera. The control device 110 can be integrated into the electronic device 100 to enrich the functions of the electronic device 100 .

Users have different requirements for the screen brightness of electronic devices 100 such as mobile phones at different time periods of the day, and the individual differences will be large. However, electronic devices 100 on the market generally cannot meet users' personalized brightness requirements.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the display brightness corresponding to different time periods is set according to the user input, and then the screen brightness is set according to the system time of the electronic device 100 . In this way, the display of the electronic device 100 is made more intelligent and humanized, and the screen brightness corresponding to the time can be displayed at different times according to the needs of the user. For example, the light is generally dark at night, and the user can set the brightness of the screen to be relatively dark from 8:00 to 12:00 in the evening to protect his eyesight. The system time may be the current time of the date and time system in the electronic device 100 , or the current time obtained by the electronic device 100 through the network.

The scheduled display brightness corresponding to multiple time periods can be set, for example, it can include the scheduled display corresponding to 6-8 am, 8-11 am, 11-18 pm, 18-20 pm and 20-24 pm brightness.

In addition, the size of the pupil of the human eye changes with changes in the ambient brightness in the field of view. For example, when the brightness in the field of view is low, the pupils of the person dilate. If the brightness of the screen 130 is too high at this time, it will give strong stimulation to the human eyes and cause discomfort to the human eyes, that is, "dazzling". Similarly, if the brightness of the field of vision is high, the pupils of the person will shrink. If the brightness of the screen 130 is too low, people will not be able to see the display content of the screen 130 clearly. This reason.

When the user does not set the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period, the electronic device 100 may adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness acquired by the light sensor 150 or the image acquisition device 170 to adapt the screen brightness to the external environment. If the user sets the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period, this setting represents the user's personal preference for screen brightness to some extent, and the user's preference should be respected.

However, the user's environment is often changeable and unpredictable, so the user may be in a special environment at a certain time that is not usually present at this time. For example, the user normally works in a bright office at 10 am, so he sets a brighter screen brightness corresponding to the morning time period for himself. If the screen 130 still adopts the set brightness, it will be dazzling, which is not conducive to eyesight protection.

Therefore, combined with respect for user preferences and adaptation to the ambient brightness, it is judged whether the difference between the ambient brightness and the predetermined brightness value is too large. Large, indicating that it may be in a relatively special environment, adjust according to the ambient brightness to adapt to the ambient brightness. In this way, the brightness adjustment is made more intelligent and humanized, which can better meet the needs of users.

Referring to FIGS. 5-6, in some implementations, the predetermined time period includes multiple; S01 includes:

S0101, detecting that the system time of the electronic device 100 is within a predetermined time period; and

S0102. Generate an input window to receive user input to set a predetermined display brightness corresponding to a predetermined time period in which the system time is. S0101 and S0102 can be realized by the detection sub-module 1111 and the input sub-module 1112 of the setting module 111 of the control device 110 in some embodiments, that is, the detection sub-module 1111 is used to detect the predetermined time period of the system time of the electronic device 100; the input sub-module Module 1112 is used to generate an input window to receive user input to set the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period in which the system time is.

If the user sets the predetermined display brightness corresponding to all time periods at one time, or sets the predetermined display brightness of time periods other than the current time, since the user is not in the environment corresponding to the time period to be set, it cannot be set empathically The display brightness that suits you in that environment. Therefore, the user may be prompted to set the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the time period after the system time enters a certain time period. For example, when the system time reaches 9:30, the user is prompted to set the display brightness corresponding to 8-11 o'clock. In this way, the user can set the screen brightness suitable for himself according to the current environment.

After one setting is completed, the setting can be extended for a longer period of time later, that is, the corresponding time period is reached every day, that is, the screen 130 is automatically adjusted to the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the time period. However, after a long time, the solar terms may have changed, and the sunrise and sunset times have changed, resulting in changes in the ambient brightness, and the user's preference for screen brightness may also change. Therefore, every predetermined period of time, the user is prompted again to input to modify the predetermined display brightness corresponding to each time period or to modify the start time of each time period.

For example, in some implementations, the control method triggers S01 at predetermined time intervals. In some embodiments, the control device triggers the setting module at predetermined time intervals. For example, prompt the user to modify the settings every month or half a month. In addition, the time period of 8-11 o'clock can be changed to 9-11 o'clock, or 7-12 o'clock, etc.

In addition to modifying the user settings at regular intervals, the settings can also be modified according to the geographic location of the electronic device 100, because when located in different geographic locations that are far away, there may be large differences in climate, solar terms, etc., thereby affecting users. Adaptability to screen brightness.

Referring to FIGS. 7-8, for example, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a global positioning system 190, and the global positioning system 190 is used to obtain the geographic coordinates of the location of the electronic device 100;

Control methods include:

S09, judging whether the change range of the geographic coordinates is greater than a predetermined range; and

S10, when S09 judges yes, generate an input window to receive user input to trigger S01.

S09 and S10 can be implemented by the position determination module 116 and the setting trigger module 117 of the control device 110 in some embodiments. That is to say, the location judging module 116 is used to judge whether the variation range of the geographic coordinates is greater than a predetermined range;

For example, the straight-line distance can be used as the judgment standard for the range of change, and the predetermined range is set to 300 kilometers. When the user travels from Shenzhen to Beijing, the straight-line distance is about 2000 kilometers, which is greater than 300 kilometers. Therefore, the screen brightness adjustment of the S01 is triggered. Alternatively, the longitude and latitude of the geographic location, the current date, etc. are integrated to calculate the time difference between the sunrise time or sunset time of the two places, and use the time difference as a criterion for judging the range of change. If the time difference is greater than a predetermined range, for example, 30 minutes, the adjustment of S01 is triggered.

In this way, when the user's location changes, such as on a business trip or travel, the electronic device 100 can automatically prompt the user to reset the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period, which is more intelligent and humanized, and can meet the user's eye protection needs.

Please refer to Fig. 9-10, in some embodiments, after S03 includes:

S12, recording the brightness of the screen within a predetermined time period of multiple cycles;

S13, calculating the average brightness of the screen brightness within a predetermined time period; and

S14. Set a predetermined time period and predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period according to the average brightness.

S12, S13 and S14 can be respectively implemented by the recording module 123, the brightness calculation module 124 and the adjustment setting module 125 of the control device 110 in some embodiments. That is to say, the recording module 123 is used to record the screen brightness in the predetermined time period of multiple cycles; the brightness calculation module 124 is used to calculate the average brightness of the screen brightness in the predetermined time period of multiple cycles; the adjustment setting module 125 is used to The brightness sets the predetermined time period and the predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period.

That is to say, the electronic device 100 can learn the actual display brightness of the screen 130 in each time period. After the user completes the setting of the predetermined display brightness corresponding to each time period, it is possible to manually adjust the screen brightness in the actual environment, or the electronic device 100 adjusts the screen brightness on the basis of the original setting according to the environmental brightness and other factors. All of these lead to the fact that the brightness of the screen in the actual situation is different from that set by the user, or in other words, the predetermined display brightness preset by the user may not meet the actual demand.

Therefore, the actual screen brightness can be recorded and learned to continuously adjust the settings. A neural network model can be used to take time as an input parameter and display brightness as an output parameter to find the corresponding relationship between time and display brightness, so as to adjust the settings according to the corresponding relationship. The predetermined display brightness corresponding to the predetermined time period can be adjusted, and the predetermined time period itself can also be adjusted. For example, the neural network model found that there is a more detailed time-display brightness correspondence rule in the time period of 11-18 o'clock, for example, the display brightness of 11-13 o'clock is significantly higher than that of Time-display brightness regularly divides the new time period 11-13 o'clock, and sets its corresponding predetermined brightness value according to the law.

In this way, learning can be carried out according to the screen brightness in actual use of the user, and the setting of time-display brightness can be continuously revised, which is more humanized and intelligent, and provides a better experience for the user.
