Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a method for controlling dimming glass, electronic devices, storage media, and program products. Background Technology

[0002] Smart glass is a special type of glass whose transparency can be adjusted by changing external conditions such as voltage, light, or heat. Smart glass comes in two types: normally black and normally white. Normally black smart glass has the lowest light transmittance when no power is applied, and its light transmittance increases with voltage changes when power is applied. Normally white smart glass has the highest light transmittance when no power is applied, and its light transmittance decreases with voltage changes when power is applied.

[0003] Smart glass can be used in vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes, as well as in buildings such as office buildings and residential buildings. It can also be used in terminal devices such as helmets, VR devices, and smart glasses.

[0004] With the development of dimming glass technology, dimming glass will gradually evolve from whole-area dimming to zone dimming.

[0053] Smart glass, also known as dimming glass, is a type of intelligent glass whose transparency is controlled by an electric field. It can be used in vehicles such as automobiles and ships, as well as residential applications like homes and shopping malls. With the development of dimming technology, local dimming glass has become feasible for mass production. The key challenge now is how to control the transparency of local dimming glass.

[0054] Figure 1The illustration schematically depicts an application scenario of a method, apparatus, medium, and program product for controlling local dimming glass according to embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The examples shown are merely examples of application scenarios in which the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of this disclosure, but do not mean that the embodiments of this disclosure cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a first display terminal 101, a second display terminal 102, a third display terminal 103, a vehicle 104, an air conditioner 105, a seat 106, a dimming glass 107, and a dimming glass 108. The first display terminal 101, the second display terminal 102, the third display terminal 103, the air conditioner 105, the seat 106, the dimming glass 107, and the dimming glass 108 are located inside the vehicle 104 and are connected to the vehicle's onboard system via wired or wireless means.

[0056] The first display terminal 101, the second display terminal 102, and the third display terminal 103 can be various electronic devices located in the vehicle 104, including but not limited to the driver's side display terminal, the passenger side display terminal, the central control display terminal, the front seat display terminal, and the rear seat display terminal. The first display terminal 101, the second display terminal 102, and the third display terminal 103 can adopt display technologies such as LCD, OLED, miniLED, and MicroLED.

[0057] The dimming glass 107 and dimming glass 108 can be the windshield, side window windshield, sunroof, or rear windshield. The air conditioner 105 and seat 106 can be located anywhere in the vehicle 104.

[0058] It should be understood that Figure 1 The display terminals, dimming glass, air conditioners, and seats shown are merely illustrative. Other in-vehicle terminals can be added as needed, and any number of display terminals, dimming glass, and other in-vehicle terminals can be placed.

[0059] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the method for controlling zoned dimming glass can be applied to vehicles such as cars and ships, as well as to buildings such as residential buildings and shopping malls, and can also be applied to wearable devices (smart glasses, helmets, etc.) and mobile terminals with dimming functions.

[0060] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for controlling zoned dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0061] Step S210: Obtain the first control parameter and the second control parameter. The first control parameter is used for partition selection, and the second control parameter is used for partition transmittance adjustment.

[0062] Step S220: Control partition selection and partition transmittance adjustment are executed synchronously or asynchronously according to the first control parameter and the second control parameter.

[0063] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the dimming glass has multiple zones, and a single zone, row zone, column zone, any combination of zones, or all zones can be selected. Zone selection can be achieved through touch, gesture, knob, voice, eye gaze, or other methods.

[0064] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the dimming glass has multiple zones, and the transmittance of each zone can be controlled independently. When the control signals of all zones are the same (i.e., the transmittance of all zones is the same), the dimming effect of the entire surface is achieved. When the control signals of the dimming glass in different zones are different (i.e., the transmittance of different zones is different), they can be controlled independently.

[0065] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the light transmittance of the zoned dimming glass has an adjustable range. The minimum value of the adjustable range corresponds to the dark state of the dimming glass, and the maximum value corresponds to the bright state of the dimming glass. The light transmittance of the dimming glass is adjusted between the dark state, the bright state, and an intermediate state between the two. For example, if the adjustable range of zone A of the dimming glass is 20%-50%, then 20% is the dark state of the dimming glass, 50% is the bright state of the dimming glass, and the dimming glass can be adjusted to any intermediate value between 20% and 50%.

[0066] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the dimming glass can be of different types, such as dye-based liquid crystal dimming glass, electrochromic dimming glass, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal dimming glass, and suspended particle dimming glass.

[0067] According to embodiments of this disclosure, when a dimming glass has multiple zones, there is a problem of coordinating zone selection and zone transmittance adjustment. Zone selection and zone transmittance adjustment can be performed synchronously, simplifying user operation; zone selection and zone transmittance adjustment can be performed asynchronously, which can increase the user's diversified control over the transmittance of the dimming glass and enhance the richness of user interaction.

[0068] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating an asynchronous control method for local dimming glass according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0076] According to embodiments of this disclosure, a first partition set is selected based on a first control parameter, and the transmittance of the first partition set is controlled based on a second control parameter. By sequentially performing hierarchical selection and partition transmittance adjustment, transmittance adjustment can be performed after clearly defining the target partition or target partition set, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.

[0079] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the second operation and the first operation may be of the same or different types. When the second operation and the first operation are of the same type (e.g., both the first operation and the second operation are single-finger sliding along a preset trajectory), a third operation is included between the first operation and the second operation, and the third operation is used to indicate the end of the first operation.

[0170] Step S910: Obtain the first control parameter.

[0171] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, a user's first operation is obtained, and the first control parameter is determined based on the first operation.

[0172] Step S920: Perform the first partition selection according to the first control parameter.

[0173] Step S930: Obtain the second control parameter.

[0174] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the second control parameter is preset by the user in the system or adjusted based on historical data of transmittance.

[0175] Step S940: Perform first zone transmittance adjustment according to the second control parameter.
