Solution Overview

Problem

Special-shaped screens, such as notched displays, face coordination issues between their special-shaped and regular-shaped regions, leading to suboptimal user experience due to inadequate display adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a circuit that acquires device color information near the special-shaped region, determines a target color-display adjustment parameter, and controls the display accordingly to improve coordination between the regions.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a notched display screen is used to achieve special-shaped display, then the display appearance is improved, but the coordination between the special-shaped region and regular-shaped region deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay appearanceVSAvoiddisplay coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by adjusting the color parameters specifically for the special-shaped region (first region) differently from the regular display region (second region). The circuit acquires device color information near the first region and determines a target color-display adjustment parameter specifically for that region, making the special-shaped area visually blend with the device housing while the regular region maintains normal display characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If the special-shaped region displays content independently, then the display area is increased, but the visual coordination with the regular region deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidvisual coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements color changes by adjusting the color parameters of the first region based on device color information. The circuit determines a target color-display adjustment parameter that modifies the color characteristics of the special-shaped region to match the device housing color, creating a seamless visual transition between the notched area and the surrounding device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A method for display control and related products are provided. The method for display control is applicable to an electronic device including a notched screen and a circuit coupled with the notched screen. The notched screen has a first region (180) and a second region. The method includes the following: device color information near the first region is acquired, then a target color-display adjustment parameter of the first region is determined according to the device color information. Finally, display of the first region is controlled according to the target color-display adjustment parameter. As a consequence, the display coordination between a first region and a second region can be improved when a notched screen displays contents, thereby improving the user experience.
