[0021] The following is an explanation of the implementation methods of the "display adjustment method and electronic device" disclosed in the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted in actual size. It is stated in advance. The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical content of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the term "or" used in this article may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items depending on the actual situation.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flowchart of the steps of a display adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The display adjustment method is applicable to an electronic device including a display and a processor, the display is used to provide a display image, and the display adjustment method includes the following steps:

[0023] Step S110: configuring a sensor to sense ambient light parameters of an environment where the electronic device is located; and

[0024] Step S120: configuring the processor to execute a display adjustment program to generate a mask superimposed on the display image, and adjusting display parameters of the mask according to ambient light parameters.

[0025] Specifically, the sensor may be an ambient light sensor coupled to the processor, and transmits ambient light parameters of the environment in which the electronic device is located to the processor. In addition, the electronic device may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone or a television, and the display provided by the display may include static pictures and dynamic videos.

[0026] Further, when the processor is configured to execute the display adjustment program, the processor generates a mask superimposed on the display screen, and adjusts the display parameters of the mask according to the ambient light parameters of the environment in which the electronic device is located. In this embodiment, the ambient light parameters may be the ambient light color temperature, and the mask generated by the processor may be a semi-transparent window. In addition, the display parameters of the mask may include one or both of the color and transparency of the semi-transparent window.

[0027] It can be seen that the display adjustment method of this embodiment can provide different visual experiences for users by adjusting the color and / or transparency of the semi-transparent window, and because the semi-transparent window is superimposed on the display screen, the display adjustment method of this embodiment does not need to adjust the color temperature and brightness of the display screen itself. The processor of this embodiment only needs to adjust one or both of the color and transparency of the semi-transparent window.

[0028] In addition, the display adjustment program can be a computer program or a plurality of computer-readable instructions stored in the memory. Because the semi-transparent window is generated by the processor through the execution of the computer program or the plurality of computer-readable instructions, the electronic device of this embodiment does not need additional hardware to implement the semi-transparent window as a mask, and the processor can also execute the computer program or the plurality of computer-readable instructions to adjust the color and / or transparency of the semi-transparent window according to the color temperature of the ambient light, so as to adapt to the ambient light and provide different visual experiences for the user.

[0029] Please refer to Table 1, which shows the relationship between the color and transparency of the semi-transparent window of this embodiment and the color temperature of the ambient light.

[0030] [Table 1]

[0031]

[0032] As shown in Table 1, in response to the ambient light color temperature being a warm light color temperature, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a warm color through a processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%.

[0033] Generally speaking, transparency is between 0% and 100%, or in other words, transparency can be represented by a value between 0 and 1. In addition, a transparency of 0% represents complete transparency, while a transparency of 100% represents complete opacity. Therefore, in this embodiment, the transparency of the translucent window may, for example, be between 1% and 99%. However, the above is only an example, and the present invention does not limit the range of transparency, and the transparency of the translucent window may, for example, be between 0.1% and 99.9%. The higher the transparency of the translucent window, the less likely it is for the light of the display screen to pass through the translucent window. Therefore, the processor of this embodiment may adjust the transparency of the translucent window to below 30% to avoid the visual effect becoming too dark.

[0034] Specifically, according to the color temperature of the ambient light, the display adjustment method of the present embodiment can adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to between 10% and 30% through the processor. In addition, since the red light component of the warm light color temperature is relatively large, in order not to introduce interference colors, in response to the ambient light color temperature being the warm light color temperature, the display adjustment method of the present embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a reddish warm color through the processor. For example, when the color of the semi-transparent window is represented by red, green, and blue (RGB) values, when the ambient light color temperature is a warm light color temperature of 2700K, the display adjustment method of the present embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to (R, G, B) = (255, 220, 178) through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to 30%, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0035] On the other hand, as shown in Table 1, in response to the ambient light color temperature being a neutral color temperature, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a neutral color through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%. For example, when the ambient light color temperature is a neutral color temperature of 4000K, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to (R, G, B) = (204, 204, 204) through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to 20%, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0036] Similarly, as shown in Table 1, since the blue light component of the cold light color temperature is relatively large, in order not to introduce interference colors, in response to the ambient light color temperature being the cold light color temperature, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a blue cold color through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%. For example, when the ambient light color temperature is a cold light color temperature of 6500K, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to (R, G, B) = (178, 216, 255) through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to 10%, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0037] In contrast, when the ambient light color temperature is a cold light color temperature of 8000K, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to (R, G, B) = (153, 204, 255) through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to 20%. In addition, when the ambient light color temperature is a cold light color temperature of 10000K, the display adjustment method of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to (R, G, B) = (128, 192, 255) through the processor, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to 30%, but the present invention is not limited to the above examples. It should be noted that when adjusting the transparency of the semi-transparent window according to the cold light color temperature, the cold light color temperature will be proportional to the transparency of the semi-transparent window.

[0038] On the other hand, in other embodiments, the processor may be configured to execute a display adjustment program to generate a black semi-transparent window as a mask superimposed on the display image when a trigger event occurs. In addition, in the other embodiments, the ambient light parameter may be the ambient light brightness, and the display parameter of the mask may be the transparency of the black semi-transparent window.

[0039] Specifically, users need a darker visual effect when wearing night vision goggles to view the display screen, but since the display screen can be adjusted to a minimum brightness limit, the display adjustment method of other embodiments can darken the visual effect by generating a black translucent window superimposed on the display screen, thereby breaking through the minimum brightness limit of the display screen itself to provide a visual experience suitable for viewing while wearing night vision goggles.

[0040] It can be seen that the above-mentioned trigger event may refer to the need to adjust the brightness of the display screen to be lower than its minimum brightness, and the trigger event may be determined by the user actively, or by the electronic device automatically detecting whether it occurs. The so-called automatic detection may, for example, obtain the current image of the user through the camera of the electronic device to detect whether the user is wearing night vision goggles. However, the present invention does not limit the specific implementation method of the electronic device to determine whether the trigger event occurs. In addition, the transparency of the black semi-transparent window may be set to 50% by default, which is equivalent to making the brightness of the display screen itself less than 3 nits, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0041] Further, according to the ambient light brightness, the display adjustment method of other embodiments can adjust the transparency of the black semi-transparent window through the processor to provide a comfortable visual experience for the user. For example, when the ambient light brightness becomes brighter, the display adjustment method of other embodiments can increase the transparency of the black semi-transparent window through the processor, and when the ambient light brightness becomes darker, the display adjustment method of other embodiments can reduce the transparency of the black semi-transparent window through the processor to achieve the best visual effect.

[0042] On the other hand, in order to further understand the display adjustment method of the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device. Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device 1 includes a display 11 , a sensor 12 and a processor 13 .

[0043] The display 11 is used to provide a display image DS, and the sensor 12 is configured to sense an ambient light parameter ( Figure 2 In addition, the processor 13 is coupled to the display 11 and the sensor 12, and is configured to execute a display adjustment program to generate a mask M superimposed on the display image DS, and adjust the display parameters of the mask M according to the ambient light parameters.

[0044] As mentioned above, the electronic device 1 may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone or a television, and the display screen DS provided by the display 11 may include static pictures and dynamic videos. In addition, the sensor 12 may be an ambient light sensor. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the sensor 12 to be included in the electronic device 1.

[0045] In other embodiments, the sensor 12 may be an independent component coupled to the electronic device 1, and transmits the ambient light parameter of the environment where the electronic device 1 is located to the processor 13 of the electronic device 1. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific implementation of the sensor 12.

[0046] Furthermore, the display adjustment program may be a computer program or a plurality of computer-readable instructions stored in a memory. That is, the electronic device 1 of this embodiment can generate the mask M superimposed on the display screen DS in the form of software, so the electronic device 1 does not need to be configured with additional hardware to implement the mask M. In addition, the electronic device 1 of this embodiment also adjusts the display parameters of the mask M according to the ambient light parameters in the form of software to achieve adaptation to the ambient light to provide different visual experiences for the user.

[0047] In this embodiment, the ambient light parameter may be the ambient light color temperature, and the mask M generated by the processor 13 may be a semi-transparent window. In addition, the display parameters of the mask M may include one or both of the color and transparency of the semi-transparent window.

[0048] Specifically, in response to the ambient light color temperature being a warm light color temperature, the processor 13 of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a reddish warm color, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%. In addition, in response to the ambient light color temperature being a neutral light color temperature, the processor 13 of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a neutral color, and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%.

[0049] Similarly, in response to the ambient light color temperature being a cool light color temperature, the processor 13 of this embodiment can adjust the color of the semi-transparent window to a cool bluish color and adjust the transparency of the semi-transparent window to less than 30%. Since the relevant details are the same as the above content, they will not be repeated here.

[0050] On the other hand, in other embodiments, the processor 13 can be configured to execute a display adjustment program to generate a black semi-transparent window as a mask M superimposed on the display screen DS when a trigger event occurs, and the trigger event can refer to the need to adjust the screen brightness of the display screen DS to be lower than its minimum brightness. Therefore, the electronic device 1 of other embodiments can break through the minimum brightness limit of the screen brightness of the display screen DS itself to provide a visual experience suitable for viewing with night vision goggles. In addition, in the other embodiments, the ambient light parameter can be the ambient light brightness, and the display parameter of the mask M can be the transparency of the black semi-transparent window.

[0051] The transparency of the black semi-transparent window can be set to 50% by default, and according to the ambient light brightness, the processor 13 of other embodiments can adjust the transparency of the black semi-transparent window to provide a comfortable visual experience for the user. Since the relevant details are the same as the above content, they will not be repeated here. It is worth mentioning that the electronic device 1 of this embodiment can also provide a user interface to allow the user to set the display parameters of the mask M to meet personal needs and preferences.

[0052] In summary, at least one of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the display adjustment method and electronic device provided by the present invention can adapt to ambient light to provide users with a comfortable visual experience through the technical means of "configuring a sensor to sense the ambient light parameters of the environment where the electronic device is located" and "configuring a processor to execute a display adjustment program to generate a mask superimposed on the display screen, and adjusting the display parameters of the mask according to the ambient light parameters".

[0053] The contents disclosed above are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the present invention description and drawings are included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
