The present disclosure relates to the field of computer and embedded device, and more particularly to an information processing method and an electronic device.
With the increasing development of the technology, the electronic technology has been developed rapidly. There are increasingly more types of electronic products, and people enjoy various convenience brought about by the development of the technology. People currently can enjoy a comfortable life brought about by the development of the technology through the various types of electronic products. For example, the electronic device such as the cell phone has become an indispensable part in people's life. People can communicate with others by way of calling, messaging, or the like through the electronic device such as the cell phone.
The display screen of the current mobile device such as the cell phone, the PAD or the like is in a state of a high brightness due to its large display screen, resulting in large power consumption. Therefore, many mobile devices are set up with a function of enabling the display screen to adjust the brightness automatically.
Currently, the mobile devices supporting the display screen to adjust the brightness automatically mostly acquire the surrounding brightness by a light sensor so that the brightness of the display screen is set according to the surrounding brightness. For example, when the surrounding brightness is light, the brightness value returned by the light sensor is large, and the mobile device increases the brightness of the display screen according to an automatic brightness adjustment algorithm. When the surrounding brightness is dark, the brightness value returned by the light sensor is small, and the mobile device decreases the brightness of the display screen according to the automatic brightness adjustment algorithm. Thus, not only the user requirement is met, but also the effect of power saving is achieved as well.
However, the current mobile device supporting the display screen to adjust the brightness automatically basically is arranged with just one light sensor. The light sensor therefore may be blocked inadvertently when the user is using the mobile device. At the present time, the light sensor is uanble to acquire the surrounding brightness signal normally, and the electronic device may set the brightness of the display screen to a value that does not match the current surrounding brightness. For example, if the surrounding brightness value is large, but the brightness value returned by the light sensor is smaller than the real surrounding brightness value since the light sensor is blocked, the mobile device may set the brightness value of the display screen to be small according to the brightness value returned by the light sensor.
Obviously, the reality of the acquired information is poor, resulting in that the accuracy of the adjustment result to the electronic device is poor.
Further, normally, various sensors are arranged on the display device to detect the surrounding light information, and the display situation of the display device (the display screen) is adjusted according to the surrounding light information detected by the sensor. For example, the surrounding light intensity (i.e., the brightness) may be measured by installing a surrounding light intensity sensor, and the surrounding light color temperature may be measured by installing a surrounding light color temperature sensor. However, in the current display device, the sensor for detecting the surrounding light information is normally installed at a side of the display screen. That is, the surrounding light information of only one side of the display screen can be detected. For example, the surrounding light intensity sensor and/or the surrounding light color temperature sensor are/is normally installed at one side of the display screen, i.e., the side facing the viewer.
However, in some application situations, possibly, the surrounding light information on the other side of the display screen is more important. In this situation, a good display effect may not be obtained by adjusting the display of the display screen with the surrounding light information detected by the sensor installed at only one side of the display screen.
Taking the surrounding light intensity sensor as an example, in the current display device, the surrounding light intensity sensor is normally installed at the side facing the viewer, and the display brightness of the display screen is adjusted according to the surrounding light intensity measured by the surrounding light intensity sensor. That is, the display brightness of the display screen is adjusted by the surrounding light brightness in the direction of the viewer measured by the surrounding light intensity sensor.
When the display device described above is in a backlight environment, for example, when a second plane of the display device has an illumination light source, the surrounding light intensity measured by the surrounding light intensity sensor installed at the side facing the viewer may be substantially smaller than the surrounding light intensity at the display screen. In this case, if the display brightness of the display screen is still adjusted according to the brightness light intensity measured by the surrounding light intensity sensor installed at the side facing the viewer, the display screen and the surrounding light will be contrary to each other in the human eye, making the display screen seem darker, and resulting in the decrease of the watching effect.
Therefore, there is a need of a method and an apparatus for adjusting the display screen according to real surrounding light information.

In order to make the object, the solution and the advantage of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and thoroughly with reference to the figures in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of, but not all, the embodiments of the present disclosure. All the other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without any inventive labor based on the embodiments of the present disclosure shall fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

Furthermore, the term “and/or” in the description only means a relationship between related objects, and represents that there may be three relationships. For example, the expression of “A and/or B” may represent a case in which A exists alone, a case in which A and B exist and a case in which B exists alone. Furthermore, the character “/” in the description normally means the related objects before and after the character are of a relationship of “or”.
In the following, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the figures.
With reference to
At step 101, a first value of a first parameter is acquired by the first sensor.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sensor may be a first light sensor and the second sensor may be a second light sensor; or, the first sensor may be a first temperature sensor and the second sensor may be a second temperature sensor; or, the first sensor may be a first capacitance sensor and the second sensor may be a second capacitance sensor; and so on.
Then, if the first sensor is the first light sensor and the second sensor is the second light sensor, the first parameter may be a light intensity parameter, e.g., a surrounding light intensity parameter. If the first sensor is the first capacitance sensor and the second sensor is the second capacitance sensor, the first parameter may be a capacitor parameter, e.g., a surrounding capacitor parameter. If the first sensor is the first temperature sensor and the second sensor is the second temperature sensor, the first parameter may be a temperature parameter, e.g., a surrounding temperature parameter, and so on.
At step S102, a second value of a first parameter is acquired by the second sensor.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor and acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor at the same time. Alternatively, it is also possible to acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor first, and then acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor. Alternatively, it is also possible to acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor first, and then acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor.
At step 103, it is judged whether a difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to a first threshold or not, to obtain a first judgment result, wherein step 104 is performed when the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, and step 105 is performed when the difference value is smaller than the first threshold.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may process the first value and the second value after acquiring the same, for example, may acquire the difference value between the first value and the second value. After obtaining the difference value between the first value and the second value, the relationship between the difference value and the first threshold may be judged. For example, it may be judged whether the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold or not to obtain the first judgment result according to the judgment process. Then, the first judgment result may represent that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, or the first judgment result may represent that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold.
At step 104, a third value of the first parameter is determined based on a first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and the third value is reported as a value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, the electronic device may determine the third value of the first parameter based on the first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and may report the third value to the processing unit after determining the third value.
For example, the processing unit may be a CPU (central processing unit) of the electronic device, or may be a MCU (micro processor) of the electronic device or the like.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the first algorithm takes the larger value between the first value and the second value as the third value. For example, if the first value is larger than the second value, the first value may be taken as the third value.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the smaller value between the first value and the second value may be deleted after the third value is determined. For example, if the second value is larger than the first value, the second value may be taken as the third value, and the first value may be deleted after the second value is determined as the third value. In this way, the storage space of the electronic device may be saved.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, if the first sensor is the first light sensor and the second sensor is the second light sensor, when the difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, it is very possible that one of the first light sensor and the second light sensor is blocked by an obstacle. Then, it is natural that the light sensor which acquires the smaller value is the light sensor blocked by the obstacle, and the value acquired by the light sensor which is not blocked by the obstacle is obviously more close to the real parameter value. Therefore, the larger value between the first value and the second value may be taken as the third value, so that the determined parameter value is more close to the real parameter value, and the accuracy of the acquired parameter value is improved.
Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, after reporting the third value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, the electronic device may take the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit.
Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, after taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust a second parameter of the electronic device according to the standard parameter value.
For example, the electronic device may have a display unit. If the first parameter is the light intensity parameter, the second parameter may be a display parameter of the display unit. After taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust the value of the display parameter according to the third value of the first parameter. That is, the electronic device may adjust the display parameter of the display unit automatically according to the acquired surrounding light intensity, so that the display effect of the display unit may vary with the surrounding light intensity to achieve the power saving effect as much as possible.
At step 105, a fourth value of the first parameter is determined based on a second algorithm, the first value and the second value, and the fourth value is reported as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first judgment result represents that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold, the electronic device may determine the fourth value of the first parameter based on the second algorithm, the first value and the second value, and may report the fourth value to the processing unit after determining the fourth value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the second algorithm takes the average value of the first value and the second value as the fourth value, wherein when averaging, the arithmetic average value or the weighted average value of the first value and the second value may be taken.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first value and the second value may be deleted after the fourth value is determined. In this way, the storage space of the electronic device may be saved as much as possible.
Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, after reporting the fourth value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, the electronic device may take the fourth value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, if the first sensor is the first light sensor and the second sensor is the second light sensor, when the difference value between the first value and the second value is smaller than the first threshold, it is very possible that none of the first light sensor and the second light sensor is blocked by an obstacle. Then, it may be considered that the values acquired by both light sensors are close to the real parameter value.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second algorithm may take any one of the first value and the second value as the fourth value.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to be more accurate, the second algorithm may take the average value of the first value and the second value as the fourth value, so that the determined parameter value may be more close to the real parameter value, and the accuracy of the acquired parameter value may be improved.
Further, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, after taking the fourth value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust a second parameter of the electronic device according to the standard parameter value.
For example, the electronic device may have a display unit. If the first parameter is the light intensity parameter, the second parameter may be a display parameter of the display unit. After taking the fourth value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust the value of the display parameter according to the fourth value of the first parameter. That is, the electronic device may adjust the display parameter of the display unit automatically according to the acquired surrounding light intensity, so that the display effect of the display unit may vary with the surrounding light intensity to achieve the power saving effect as much as possible.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reason for the determined standard parameter value being accurate is that the real brightness value of the surrounding is obtained by two light sensors. Therefore, by adjusting the display parameter of the display unit according to the standard parameter value, the light emitted by the display unit may adapt to the surroundings, the display quality of the display unit is good, and good watching light is provided to the user.
For example, if the standard parameter value is high, representing that the surrounding brightness is strong, the electronic device may set the value of the display parameter to be high correspondingly, so that it avoids the user from viewing the screen vaguely due to the strong surrounding light. If the standard parameter value is low, representing that the surrounding brightness is weak, the electronic device may set the value of the display parameter to be low correspondingly, so that it avoids the user's eye from being hurt by the strong light emitted by the display screen.
In the following, the information processing method and the electronic device in the disclosure will be described by way of some embodiments. The following embodiments are mainly used to introduce several possible application scenes of the method. It is to be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure is only used to construe, but not limit, the present disclosure. All the embodiments consistent with the idea of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art naturally know how to modify based on the idea of the present disclosure.
The electronic device is a cell phone having a first light sensor, a second light sensor and a processing unit. Optionally, the first light sensor and the second light sensor are arranged at different locations of the cell phone. In this way, when one light sensor is blocked by the obstacle, the other light sensor can be ensured not to be blocked at the same time as much as possible.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor and acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor at the same time. For example, the first parameter is the surrounding light intensity parameter.
After obtaining the first value and the second value, the electronic device may process the first value and the second value, for example, may acquire the difference value between the first value and the second value. After obtaining the difference value between the first value and the second value, the relationship between the difference value and the first threshold may be judged. For example, it may be judged whether the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold to obtain the first judgment result.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, the electronic device may determine the third value of the first parameter based on the first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and may report the third value to the processing unit after determining the third value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processing unit may be a CPU of the electronic device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the first algorithm takes the larger value between the first value and the second value as the third value.
For example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first value is larger than the second value, the first value may be taken as the third value.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the smaller value between the first value and the second value may be deleted after the third value is determined. In this way, the storage space of the electronic device may be saved as much as possible.
When the difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, it is very possible that one of the first light sensor and the second light sensor is blocked by an obstacle. Then, it is natural that the light sensor which acquires the smaller value is the light sensor blocked by the obstacle, and the value acquired by the light sensor which is not blocked by the obstacle is obviously more close to the real parameter value. Therefore, the larger value between the first value and the second value may be taken as the third value, so that the determined parameter value is more close to the real parameter value, and the accuracy of the acquired parameter value is improved.
After reporting the third value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, the electronic device may take the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit. After taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust a second parameter of the electronic device according to the standard parameter value.
For example, the electronic device may have a display unit. The second parameter may be a display parameter of the display unit. After taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust the value of the display parameter according to the third value of the first parameter. That is, the electronic device may adjust the display parameter of the display unit automatically according to the acquired surrounding light intensity, so that the display effect of the display unit may vary with the surrounding light intensity to achieve the power saving effect as much as possible.
The electronic device is a cell phone having a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor and a processing unit. Optionally, the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are arranged at different locations of the cell phone. In this way, when one temperature sensor is blocked by the obstacle, the other temperature sensor can be ensured not to be blocked at the same time as much as possible.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor and acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor at the same time. For example, the first parameter is the surrounding temperature parameter.
After obtaining the first value and the second value, the electronic device may process the first value and the second value, for example, may acquire the difference value between the first value and the second value. After obtaining the difference value between the first value and the second value, the relationship between the difference value and the first threshold may be judged. For example, it may be judged whether the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold to obtain the first judgment result.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first judgment result represents that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold, the electronic device may determine the fourth value of the first parameter based on the second algorithm, the first value and the second value, and may report the fourth value to the processing unit after determining the fourth value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processing unit may be a CPU of the electronic device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the second algorithm takes the average value of the first value and the second value as the fourth value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second algorithm takes the arithmetic average value of the first value and the second value as the fourth value.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first value and the second value may be deleted after the fourth value is determined. In this way, the storage space of the electronic device may be saved as much as possible.
When the difference value between the first value and the second value is smaller than the first threshold, it is very possible that none of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor is blocked by an obstacle. Then, it may be considered that the values acquired by both temperature sensors are close to the real parameter value.
After reporting the fourth value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, the electronic device may take the fourth value as the standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit. After taking the fourth value as the standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust the second parameter of the electronic device according to the standard parameter value.
For example, the electronic device may have a radiator unit. The second parameter may be a radiation parameter of the radiator unit. After taking the fourth value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust the value of the radiation parameter according to the fourth value of the first parameter. That is, the electronic device may adjust the radiation parameter of the radiator unit automatically according to the acquired surrounding temperature to make the radiation effect of the radiator unit change with the surrounding temperature so as to protect the electronic device as much as possible.
The electronic device is a cell phone having a first capacitance sensor, a second capacitance sensor and a processing unit. Optionally, the first capacitance sensor and the second capacitance sensor are arranged at different locations of the cell phone. In this way, when one capacitance sensor is blocked by the obstacle, the other capacitance sensor can be ensured not to be blocked at the same time as much as possible.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to acquire the first value of the first parameter by the first sensor and acquire the second value of the first parameter by the second sensor at the same time. For example, the first parameter is the surrounding light intensity parameter.
After obtaining the first value and the second value, the electronic device may process the first value and the second value, for example, may acquire the difference value between the first value and the second value. After obtaining the difference value between the first value and the second value, the relationship between the difference value and the first threshold may be judged. For example, it may be judged whether the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold to obtain the first judgment result.
For example, the first value is 1000, the second value is 10 and the first threshold is 100, then the difference value is 990.
Obviously, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold. The electronic device may determine the third value of the first parameter based on the first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and may report the third value to the processing unit after determining the third value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the processing unit may be a CPU of the electronic device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the first algorithm takes the larger value between the first value and the second value as the third value.
For example, if the first value is larger than the second value, the first value may be taken as the third value.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the smaller value between the first value and the second value may be deleted after the third value is determined. In this way, the storage space of the electronic device may be saved as much as possible.
When the difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to the first threshold, it is very possible that one of the first capacitance sensor and the second capacitance sensor is broken or interfered with another electronic device. Then, it is natural that the capacitance sensor which acquires the smaller value is the capacitance sensor which is broken or interfered, and the value acquired by the capacitance sensor which is not broken or interfered is obviously more close to the real parameter value. Therefore, the larger value between the first value and the second value may be taken as the third value, so that the determined parameter value is more close to the real parameter value, and the accuracy of the acquired parameter value is improved.
After reporting the third value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, the electronic device may take the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit. After taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit, the electronic device may adjust a second parameter of the electronic device according to the standard parameter value.
Referring to
Optionally, the electronic device may further comprise an operating module 206.
The first acquiring module 201 may be used for acquiring a first value of a first parameter by the first sensor.
The second acquiring module 202 may be used for acquiring a second value of a first parameter by the second sensor.
The judging module 203 may be used for judging whether a difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to a first threshold or not, to obtain a first judgment result.
The first determining module 204 may be used for determining a third value of the first parameter based on a first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and reporting the third value as a value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold.
The second determining module 205 may be used for determining a fourth value of the first parameter based on a second algorithm, the first value and the second value, and reporting the fourth value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first algorithm takes the larger value between the first value and the second value as the third value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second algorithm takes an average value of the first value and the second value as the third value.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sensor is a first light sensor and the second sensor is a second light sensor; or, the first sensor is a first temperature sensor and the second sensor is a second temperature sensor; or, the first sensor is a first capacitance sensor and the second sensor is a second capacitance sensor.
The operating module 206 may be used for taking the third value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit so that a second parameter of the electronic device is adjusted according to the standard parameter value.
The operating module 206 may be used for taking the fourth value as a standard parameter value of the first parameter by the processing unit so that a second parameter of the electronic device is adjusted according to the standard parameter value.
The information processing method in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to an electronic device having a first sensor, a second sensor and a processing unit, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring a first value of a first parameter by the first sensor; acquiring a second value of a first parameter by the second sensor; judging whether a difference value between the first value and the second value is larger than or equal to a first threshold or not, to obtain a first judgment result; determining a third value of the first parameter based on a first algorithm, the first value and the second value, and reporting the third value as a value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is larger than or equal to the first threshold; determining a fourth value of the first parameter based on a second algorithm, the first value and the second value, and reporting the fourth value as the value of the first parameter to the processing unit, when the first judgment result represents that the difference value is smaller than the first threshold.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may have two sensors of the same type, acquire two values of the same parameter through the two sensors respectively, and compare the two values to determine the final value of the parameter which is possibly the value closest to the real value. With the method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a relative real parameter value may be obtained, and a relatively accurate adjustment result may be obtained when adjusting the electronic device according to the parameter value.
For example, the electronic device may be a cell phone, and the two sensors may be both light sensors. That is, the cell phone may have a first light sensor and a second light sensor. In this way, even if one of the light sensors is blocked by the user's hand or other objects, for example, when the user plays a game and the first light sensor may be blocked by one hand of the user, but the second light sensor is not blocked, and the difference value between the first value and the second value will be larger than or equal to the first threshold, and the electronic device can acquire the surrounding brightness information by the parameter value acquired by the two sensors, so that it can make proper response according to the surrounding brightness information, avoiding the acquisition of the real surrounding brightness information from being affected by the light sensor being blocked, increasing the accuracy of the adjustment, and further avoiding a possible false response by the electronic device. With the method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the effect of power saving is achieved, the user experience is improved, and the user requirement is met.
