Multi-Screen Backlight Control with Individual Lumen Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Double-screen terminals struggle to adjust backlight brightness independently for each screen, leading to inconsistent brightness and poor user experience due to differences in backlight lumen characteristics and brightness loss over time.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine a basic setting value for both screens and apply corrections based on individual backlight lumen characteristics and usage duration to adjust the backlight brightness independently for each screen, using correction values to ensure consistent or differentiated brightness levels as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single light sensor is used to automatically adjust backlight brightness for both screens, then the adjustment process is simple, but the backlight brightness of the two screens cannot be adjusted independently leading to inconsistent brightness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the unified backlight control into separate control paths for each screen. Each screen has its own backlight brightness adjustment mechanism that can be independently controlled, allowing the first screen and second screen to have different brightness levels simultaneously. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling independent brightness adjustment while maintaining operational simplicity through automated correction algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces correction values as additional parameters to the basic backlight brightness setting. By adding these correction parameters, the system can adjust the actual backlight brightness of each screen independently from the basic setting value, enabling fine-grained control over brightness consistency while keeping the overall adjustment process automated and simple.
2Device complexity
If the same setting value is applied to both screens, then the control mechanism is simple, but individual screen characteristics and usage duration differences cannot be compensated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-calculates and stores correction values for each screen based on their individual characteristics and usage duration. These correction values are computed in advance and stored for later application, allowing the system to automatically compensate for screen differences without adding complex real-time control mechanisms. This preliminary action maintains control simplicity while achieving brightness uniformity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the actual brightness output of each screen is monitored and used to adjust the correction values. This feedback loop ensures that individual screen characteristics and usage-induced variations are continuously compensated, maintaining brightness uniformity without requiring complex manual calibration or control mechanisms.
3Illumination intensity
If manual adjustment is used for each screen, then individual brightness control is achieved, but the user experience deteriorates due to inability to adjust each screen separately on the same progress bar
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a new dimension to the brightness control interface by introducing separate adjustment mechanisms for each screen while maintaining the original unified progress bar. Users can now adjust brightness along the original dimension (overall brightness via progress bar) and a new dimension (individual screen offset via separate controls), enabling both individual control and ease of operation simultaneously.
