The direction sensor 10 is configured to sense a placement state of the electronic device 100. The distance sensor 20 is disposed on a front side of the electronic device 100 for sensing a distance d between the electronic device 100 and a target object B1 located in front of the electronic device 100.
The processor 40 is coupled to the direction sensor 10, the distance sensor 20, and the display screen 30. The processor 40 is configured to adjust display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20.
In some embodiments, the processor 40 first determines whether the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than a predetermined distance d1. When the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20. When the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 only according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10.
In some embodiments, the direction sensor 10 senses the placement state of the electronic device 100 in real time, and the distance sensor 20 senses the distance d between the electronic device 100 and the target object B1 located in front of the electronic device 100 in real time. The processor 40 determines a change of the placement state of the electronic device 100 according to the placement state of the electronic device 100 sensed by the direction sensor 10 in real time, and further determines a change of the distance d according to the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 in real time, and then adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the change of the placement state of the electronic device 100 and the change of the distance d sensed by the distance sensor.
In some embodiments, when the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20, includes: the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus increasing a display quality of the display screen 30 when the placement state of the electronic device 100 sensed by the direction sensor 10 changes from a reference position to a first preset position, and/or the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 gradually becomes smaller.
In some embodiments, when the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20, includes: the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus reducing a display quality of the display screen 30 when the placement state of the electronic device 100 sensed by the direction sensor 10 changes from the first preset position to the reference position or other preset position, and/or, the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 gradually becomes greater.
In some embodiments, when the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is determined to be greater than the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 only according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10, includes: when the electronic device 100 is in the reference position, the processor 40 controls the display screen 30 to display with initial display parameters, and when the electronic device 100 changes from the reference position to other preset position, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus gradually reducing the display quality of the display screen 30 until the display screen 30 is closed.
In some embodiments, when the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is determined to be greater than the preset distance, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 only according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10, includes: when the electronic device 100 changes from the other preset position to the reference position, the processor 40 controls to turn on the display screen 30, and adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus gradually increasing the display quality of the display screen 30; and when the electronic device 100 reaches the reference position, the processor 40 controls the display screen 30 to display with initial display parameters.

The other preset position includes, but is not limited to, a position where the front side of the electronic device 100 faces down, when the electronic device 100 is in the reference position, the top edge AB of the electronic device 100 is rotated downward around the bottom edge CD to a position where the electronic device 100 is placed vertically and the top edge AB of the electronic device 100 is located at a bottom position, and the like. That is, the other preset position includes, but is not limited to, a placement position where the front side of the electronic device 100 faces down, a placement position where the electronic device 100 is placed vertically and the top edge AB of electronic device 100 is located at the bottom position, and the like. Of course, the first preset position and other preset position described above can be obtained by other rotation manners rotating from the reference position or other position.
The following describes a working process of the present disclosure by taking a use scenario in which the target object B1 is located at a bottom side of the electronic device 100 as an example.

Herein, the distance exceeding the preset distance d1 is uniformly defined as d1, and the distance is taken as one dimension, and the coordinates of the electronic device 100 at the reference position may be four-dimensional coordinates (0, 0, 0, d1).

In some embodiments, the display parameters of the display screen 30 include parameters such as resolution, sharpness, brightness and the like of the display screen 30. The initial display parameters are medium resolution, medium sharpness, and medium brightness. Adjusting the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus increasing or gradually increasing the display quality of the display screen 30 is to increase the resolution, the sharpness, the brightness, and the like of the display screen 30. Adjusting the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus reducing or gradually reducing the display quality of the display screen 30 is to reduce the resolution, the sharpness, the brightness, and the like of the display screen 30. Obviously, when the resolution, sharpness, brightness, and the like of the display screen 30 are increased, the power consumption is increased. When the resolution, sharpness, brightness, and the like of the display screen 30 are reduced, the power consumption is reduced. Therefore, the electronic device 100 can intelligently save energy without affecting the normal use of the electronic device 100.
In some embodiments, when the distance sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than the preset distance d1, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 preferentially according to the change of the distance sensed by the distance sensor 20. Therefore, when the target object B1 is in other postures, such as sitting posture, lying posture, etc., as long as the distance sensed by the distance sensor 20 gradually becomes smaller, the display parameters of the display screen 30 are adjusted thus increasing the display quality, and the electronic device 100 can still be ensured to normal be in use.
For example,
In some embodiments, the direction sensor 10 is a gyroscope or the like, and the distance sensor 20 may include a light distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and the like. Preferably, the distance sensor 20 is an infrared distance sensor, and the presence of the target object B1 can be sensed by an infrared detection technology, and then the distance from the target object B1 is determined. Since the infrared distance sensor detects a living body such as a person, it can avoid the misjudgment caused by the distance sensor 20 detecting the distance from a desktop or a wall. Of course, in some embodiments, if only a use in a specific scenario is met, for example, when the user is standing or sitting, the usage of the electronic device 100 is not limited to the infrared distance sensor, and other distance sensors may be used.
The front side P1 of the electronic device 100 herein refers to a side of the electronic device 100 having the display screen 30.
The processor 30 can be a processing chip such as a central processor, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, a single chip microcomputer, or a digital signal processor. The electronic device 100 can be a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

A placement state of the electronic device 100 is sensed by the direction sensor 10 and a distance d of the electronic device 100 from the target object B1 located in front of the electronic device 100 is sensed by the distance sensor (S601).
The processor 40 adjusts display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 (S603).
Please referring to
The processor 40 first determines whether the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 is less than a predetermined distance d1 (S6031). If yes, the process goes to step S6032, otherwise, the process goes to step S6033.
The processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 and the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 (S6032). In some embodiments, the step S6032 includes: when the placement state of the electronic device 100 sensed by the direction sensor 10 changes from the reference position to the first preset position, and/or the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 gradually becomes smaller, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus increasing the display quality of the display screen 30. In other embodiments, the step S6032 further includes: when the placement state of the electronic device 100 sensed by the direction sensor 10 changes from the first preset position to the reference position or other preset positions, and/or the distance d sensed by the distance sensor 20 gradually becomes larger, the processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus reducing the display quality of the display screen 30.
The processor 40 adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 only according to the placement state sensed by the direction sensor 10 (S6033). In some embodiments, the step S6033 includes: the processor 40 controls the display screen 30 to display with initial display parameters when the electronic device 100 is in the reference position, and adjusts the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus gradually reducing the display quality of the display screen 30 until the display screen 30 is closed when the electronic device 100 changes from the reference position to other preset position. In other embodiments, the step S6033 further includes: the processor 40 controls to turn on the display screen and adjust the display parameters of the display screen 30 thus gradually increasing the display quality of the display screen 30 when the electronic device 100 changes from other preset position to the reference position, and controls the display screen 30 t0 display with initial display parameters when the electronic device 100 reaches the reference position.
In some embodiments, the reference position is a position where the electronic device 100 is placed horizontally and the front side of the electronic device 100 faces up. The first preset position is a position where the electronic device 100 is placed vertically and the top edge AB of the electronic device 100 is located at the top position. The other preset position includes, but is not limited to, a placement position where the front side of the electronic device 100 faces down, when the electronic device 100 is in the reference position, the top edge AB of the electronic device 100 is rotated downward around the bottom edge CD to obtain a position where the electronic device 100 is placed vertically and the top edge AB of the electronic device 100 is located at the bottom position, and the like.
In some embodiments, the display parameters include resolution, sharpness, brightness, and the like. “The display parameters of the display screen 30 are controlled to be adjusted thus increasing the display quality of the display screen 30” includes: at least one of resolution, sharpness, and brightness of the display screen 30 is controlled to be adjusted thus increasing the display quality of the display screen 30. “The display parameters of the display screen 30 is controlled to be adjusted thus reducing the display quality of the display screen 30” includes: at least one of resolution, sharpness, and brightness of the display screen 30 is controlled thus reducing the display quality of the display screen 30.
Therefore, the electronic device 100 and the display control method of the present disclosure can determine whether the electronic device 100 is being used or will be used according to the placement state of the electronic device 100 and the distance from the target object B1, and change the display parameters of the display screen of the electronic device 100, so as to further achieve energy saving effects without affecting the normal use of the user.
The above is a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can also make several improvements and retouchings without departing from the principles of the present disclosure is the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
