[0090] Specifically, the image frame data of the currently displayed content is loaded. Then, based on the current scene type, edge detection is applied to divide the image frame data into several sub-regions, which serve as the eye gaze areas. Subsequently, based on a preset weight mapping table storing regional features for different scene types, a weight rule is queried according to the current scene type to determine the priority weights of the eye gaze areas. Then, backlight partition distribution data is retrieved from the display device's hardware configuration memory. Furthermore, based on the backlight partition distribution data, the coordinate boundaries of the eye gaze areas are traversed to calculate the geometric positional relationship between each backlight partition and the eye gaze areas. Then, based on the priority weights, the overlap ratio between the backlight partition and the eye gaze area is extracted. This overlap ratio is multiplied by the priority weight of the corresponding eye gaze area, and the sum is calculated to obtain the partition brightness compensation coefficient. Furthermore, based on the target backlight brightness value and the local brightness duration, combined with the partition brightness compensation coefficient, an adjusted brightness value is calculated. Finally, the brightness output value of each backlight partition is set via the backlight control interface, thereby dynamically adjusting the backlight partition brightness output strategy.
[0091] Through this solution, the display content is divided according to the current scene type, and several human eye gaze areas are obtained to ensure that the brightness adjustment is focused on the human eye perception area. According to the current scene type, the priority weights of several human eye gaze areas are determined to provide a weight basis for generating partition brightness compensation coefficients, ensuring that the areas given priority by the brightness adjustment strategy. The distribution data of the backlight partitions is obtained to provide an accurate physical reference for the calculation of the geometric position relationship to ensure that the brightness adjustment can be mapped to the hardware partition. Based on the distribution data, the geometric position relationship between the backlight partition and several human eye gaze areas is determined to ensure that the brightness adjustment is geometrically aligned with the image content. Based on the priority weight and geometric position relationship, the partition brightness compensation coefficient is generated to provide a quantitative adjustment basis for dynamically adjusting the brightness output strategy. Based on the target backlight brightness value, the partition brightness compensation coefficient and the local brightness duration, the brightness output strategy of the backlight partition is dynamically adjusted to achieve dynamic optimization, improve the visual experience and ensure the life of the device.

Simultaneously, historical operating temperature data within a specified time window is retrieved from the temperature sensor database. The historical temperature change rate is then calculated based on the historical operating temperature data and the time window length. Furthermore, a preset speed-heat dissipation efficiency mapping table is queried based on the fan speed data to calculate the heat dissipation attenuation coefficient. Subsequently, based on the heat dissipation attenuation coefficient and the initial heat dissipation attenuation coefficient preset by the hardware layout, calculation rules are used to dynamically update the thermal coupling parameters of adjacent backlight partitions. Finally, the brightness change and thermal coupling parameters are input into the thermal conduction model, and a preset partial differential equation is used to determine the heat diffusion rate.

[0102] The pupil dynamic response model may be a preset pupil physiological response function.
[0103] Specifically, the system analyzes the ambient light brightness and reads the ambient light brightness in the current time window. Then, using numerical differentiation, it determines the rate of light change by dividing the brightness difference between adjacent sampling points within the time window by the time interval. The current ambient light brightness is then compared with the ambient light brightness at the previous sampling point. Based on the comparison results, the direction of light change is determined. Three types of pupil response models are preset during device initialization based on the direction of light change. A library of preset models is then queried to determine the pupil dynamic response model. Finally, based on the pupil dynamic response model, a weighted combination of regional sensitivity weights, average brightness, and dynamic range is used to determine the contrast sensitivity of the human eye.
