Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for adjusting window brightness on electronic devices require system write access, limiting the ability to adaptively adjust application window brightness based on system screen brightness changes, which affects user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect changes in system screen brightness without requiring write access, allowing for adaptive adjustment of application window brightness based on a target brightness value, using a computing device to map and adjust window brightness accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If system write access is obtained to adjust window brightness, then brightness adjustment capability is improved, but system security is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness adjustment capabilityVSAvoidsystem security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism that listens to system brightness change events and automatically adjusts application window brightness accordingly. This mediator approach allows the system to achieve brightness adjustment functionality without requiring applications to obtain direct write access to system parameters, thus maintaining system security while enabling the desired functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If system write access is required for brightness adjustment, then brightness control precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness control precisionVSAvoidaccess permission complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the system automatically detects brightness changes and triggers appropriate adjustments to application windows. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex permission management and manual intervention, reducing device complexity while maintaining precise brightness control through automated event-driven adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If manual parameter adjustment is allowed without system write access, then ease of use is improved, but adaptability to system changes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of useVSAvoidadaptability to system brightness changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors system brightness changes and automatically adjusts application window brightness in response. This feedback loop ensures that application windows adaptively respond to system brightness changes without requiring manual user intervention, thereby maintaining both ease of use and adaptability to system changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
