Solution Overview

Problem

Current operating systems, such as Windows 10 and Windows 11, lack the functionality to adjust the brightness of dual screens synchronously, leading to visual fatigue for users due to differences in brightness between the first and second display areas in dual-screen designs like the ASUS Zenbook series.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for adjusting display screen parameters, which include determining a trigger event and adjusting the display parameters of a dual-screen system in either synchronous or asynchronous mode based on preset conditions, ensuring both screens are adjusted simultaneously or independently to maintain consistent brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If dual-screen brightness adjustment function is added, then user experience is improved, but operating system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual-screen brightness adjustmentVSAvoidoperating system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a brightness adjustment module as an intermediary component that mediates between user input and the dual-screen display system. This module captures brightness adjustment instructions from the user and distributes them to the appropriate display screens, thereby adding the dual-screen brightness adjustment function without directly complicating the core operating system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If synchronous brightness adjustment is implemented, then visual consistency is improved, but adjustment flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness consistencyVSAvoidadjustment flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the brightness adjustment mode (synchronous or asynchronous) can switch based on the current display scenario. The system determines whether to adjust both screens simultaneously or independently according to the specific usage context, thereby maintaining brightness consistency when needed while preserving adjustment flexibility when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different brightness adjustment strategies to different display screens based on their specific usage scenarios. The first display screen and second display screen can have different brightness adjustment behaviors - one may be adjusted synchronously while the other is adjusted asynchronously, allowing each screen to have optimized local quality appropriate to its function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If asynchronous brightness adjustment is implemented, then adjustment flexibility is improved, but visual consistency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment flexibilityVSAvoidbrightness consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects between synchronous and asynchronous adjustment modes based on the detected display scenario. When visual consistency is prioritized (e.g., presentation mode), synchronous adjustment is applied. When adjustment flexibility is needed (e.g., different content types on each screen), asynchronous adjustment is applied. This dynamic switching resolves the contradiction by making the adjustment strategy adaptive rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display screen display parameter adjustment method. The method includes obtaining a trigger event of display parameters of a display screen, the display screen including a first display area and a second display area; if the trigger event satisfies a preset condition, determining that an adjustment mode of the display parameters of the display screen is a synchronous mode, and simultaneously adjusting the display parameters of the first display area and the second display area; and if the trigger event does not satisfy the preset condition, determining that the adjustment mode of the display parameters of the display screen is an asynchronous mode, and adjust the display parameters of the first display area and the second display area respectively.
