Solution Overview

Problem

Existing screen brightness adjustment methods are limited to single operating systems, and there is a need for a solution to adjust screen brightness effectively in electronic devices with dual systems.

Innovation Solution

A method for adjusting screen brightness in electronic devices with dual systems by obtaining screen brightness information from the first system before a switch and applying it to the second system, using gradual or abrupt brightness adjustment rules to avoid screen flicker and improve user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If screen brightness is adjusted in dual systems, then brightness consistency across system switches is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining and storing screen brightness information from the first system before the system switch occurs. This pre-acquired brightness data is then used to configure the second system's screen brightness, ensuring consistent visual experience across system transitions without requiring complex real-time coordination mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If gradual brightness adjustment is used, then screen flicker is reduced, but adjustment time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen flickerVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by providing two distinct brightness adjustment modes: gradual adjustment for normal scenarios to minimize screen flicker and user discomfort, and abrupt adjustment for special scenarios where speed is prioritized. The system dynamically selects the appropriate adjustment mode based on specific conditions, allowing flexible trade-off between flicker reduction and adjustment speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
