Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile terminals with multiple screens face inefficiencies in brightness adjustment, leading to unnecessary energy consumption and poor user experience due to unified brightness adjustments across all screens, which do not account for varying application needs or environmental conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for adjusting display brightness in mobile terminals with multiple screens by detecting specific application modes and obtaining use state information to independently adjust the brightness of each screen, using a processor to execute instructions for detecting application modes, obtaining use state information, and adjusting display brightness values based on this information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If unified brightness adjustment is applied to all screens, then operation simplicity is improved, but energy consumption increases and adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness adjustment operationVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the brightness control system into independent segments for each display screen. Each screen can be controlled individually based on its specific usage state, application mode, and environmental conditions, rather than applying a unified brightness adjustment to all screens simultaneously. This segmentation enables precise control that reduces energy consumption while maintaining operational simplicity through automated detection and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If unified brightness adjustment is applied to all screens, then operation simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different application modes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness adjustment operationVSAvoidadaptability to application modes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic brightness adjustment where each screen's brightness level adapts in real-time based on its current usage state, application mode, and environmental conditions. The system continuously detects changes in these parameters and automatically adjusts brightness accordingly, providing high adaptability to different application scenarios while maintaining operational simplicity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different brightness levels to different screens based on their specific local requirements. Each screen evaluates its own usage state and environmental conditions independently, allowing screens displaying different content in different environments to have optimized brightness settings tailored to their specific needs, thereby improving adaptability while keeping the overall system easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If unified brightness adjustment is applied to all screens, then device complexity is reduced, but energy waste increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness control systemVSAvoidenergy waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables each display screen to automatically detect its own usage state, application mode, and environmental conditions, and independently adjust its brightness without requiring manual user intervention for each screen. This self-service mechanism allows the system to maintain low complexity from the user perspective while achieving energy efficiency through automated, screen-specific brightness optimization that prevents energy waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
