Display Refresh Switching for Smooth Motion-Effect Transitions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face issues of jittering and smearing during the display of motion-effect images due to inconsistent refresh rates, particularly when transitioning between interfaces, which affects user experience and increases power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A refresh rate adjustment method that dynamically adjusts the refresh rate based on the specific content of motion-effect images, increasing the refresh rate for images meeting certain conditions to improve display quality while reducing it for others to conserve power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the refresh rate is increased for motion-effect images, then the display quality and fluency are improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different refresh rates to different types of images based on their motion-effect attributes. Motion-effect images that require high fluency (such as those with significant motion changes) are displayed at a higher refresh rate (second refresh rate), while other images are displayed at a lower refresh rate (first refresh rate). This localized differentiation of display parameters resolves the contradiction by optimizing power consumption without sacrificing display quality where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts the refresh rate based on the motion-effect attributes of each image. The system determines whether an image is a motion-effect image and selectively applies a higher refresh rate only when necessary, rather than using a fixed high refresh rate for all images. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between display quality and power consumption by matching refresh rate to actual display needs.
2Use of energy by moving object
If a fixed low refresh rate is used for all applications, then power consumption is reduced, but motion-effect images exhibit jittering and smearing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent identifies motion-effect images through attribute analysis and applies a higher refresh rate specifically to these images, while maintaining a lower refresh rate for other images. This localized quality enhancement ensures that only images requiring high fluency (motion-effect images) receive the improved refresh rate, preventing jittering and smearing without unnecessarily increasing power consumption for all displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the refresh rate parameter dynamically based on the motion-effect attributes of each image. By detecting whether an image contains motion effects and adjusting the refresh rate parameter accordingly (first refresh rate for normal images, second refresh rate for motion-effect images), the system resolves the contradiction between power consumption and display fluency.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a refresh rate adjustment method and an electronic device in the field of electronic technologies. The method displays a first interface at a first refresh rate. After receiving a first operation from a user, a motion-effect image is displayed at a second refresh rate in response to the operation. A second interface is then displayed at a third refresh rate after the motion-effect image is shown. The motion-effect image is displayed while the electronic device switches from the first to the second interface, with the second refresh rate being greater than the first and third refresh rates. This allows some motion-effect images to be displayed at a higher second refresh rate, improving their display effects and alleviating issues like jittering and smearing, thus enhancing the user experience.
