The invention discloses a method for periodically and automatically controlling a screen brightness of a
smart phone, and is used for forcibly configuring a backlight
control manner into an automatic adjustment manner in a certain time period. The method comprises the following steps of: configuring the backlight
control manner into two manners including a manual adjustment manner and the automatic adjustment manner; configuring a time period in which the automatic adjustment manner is required to be used;
monitoring system time of the
smart phone; and configuring the backlight
control manner according to the current
system time. According to the method for periodically and automatically controlling the screen brightness of the
smart phone, the backlight control manner is forcibly configured into the automatic adjustment manner in the time period when a night ambient brightness is lower, so that the eyes of a user can be avoided from being flashed by the over-backlight brightness at night, the function of
eye protection is achieved, and the user experiment is improved as well; and besides, when the ambient brightness is higher, an automatic adjustment mode can be shut off and changed into the manual adjustment manner, the burden to the working endurance of the
mobile phone due to the continuous working of a
light sensing module is avoided, the load of a battery is lowered, the use time of the battery is prolonged, meanwhile, the
light sensing module is effectively protected, and the service life of the
light sensing module is prolonged.
