Adjusting Display Brightness for User Eye Position
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When users view multiple display areas simultaneously, especially those that are deformable and bendable, the varying brightness levels across different angles impair viewing comfort due to inconsistent brightness, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus that obtains the positional relationships between a user's eyes and multiple display areas and adjusts their brightness values based on these relationships, ensuring visually identical brightness across different display areas to enhance viewing comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display terminal is made deformable and bendable to allow viewing from different angles, then the adaptability of the display terminal is improved, but the brightness consistency across different display areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adjusting the brightness of different display areas individually based on their specific viewing conditions. The processing unit calculates separate brightness values for first and second display areas according to their respective positions relative to the user's eyes, ensuring each area has optimal brightness for its local viewing angle while maintaining overall consistency.
2Ease of manufacture
If different display areas maintain the same brightness level, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the viewing comfort when viewed from different angles deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the brightness adjustment adaptive and dynamic rather than static. The processing unit continuously determines positional relationships between the user's eyes and different display areas, then dynamically adjusts brightness values accordingly. This allows the system to adapt to changing viewing conditions while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If the brightness values of different display areas are adjusted to compensate for viewing angles, then the viewing comfort is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical brightness adjustment mechanisms with a computational approach. Instead of using physical filters or adjustable components for each display area, the system uses a processing unit to calculate and control brightness values through software algorithms that determine positional relationships and compute appropriate brightness adjustments.

AI summary
A control method for an electronic apparatus includes obtaining a first positional relationship between eyes of a user and a first display area and a second positional relationship between eyes of the user and a second display area and setting a brightness value of the first display area and a brightness value of the second display area at least based on the first positional relationship and the second positional relationship. The electronic apparatus includes the first display area. The user includes a subject that uses the electronic apparatus. The first display area and the second display area move relative to each other.
