Selective reduction of blue light in a display frame

A user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• enter into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode;
• determine, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules, wherein one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, wherein the application-specific information comprises information that identifies the specific application contributing the image data;
• wherein the one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon one or more of the application-specific information and content-specific information;
• wherein the content-specific information includes one or more of a type, priority and prominence of content in the at least a portion of the display frame;
• wherein the content-specific information indicates that the image data in the at least a portion of the display frame has a priority that is above a priority threshold,
• wherein the at least one RBL rule permits a level of blue light that is above a default blue light level defined by the RBL mode in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the priority determination;
• selectively reduce the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determination;
• and
• send the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.

A user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen, comprising:

• means for entering into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode;
• means for determining, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules, wherein one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, wherein the application-specific information comprises information that identifies the specific application contributing the image data;
• wherein the one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon one or more of the application-specific information and content-specific information;
• wherein the content-specific information includes one or more of a type, priority and prominence of content in the at least a portion of the display frame;
• wherein the content-specific information indicates that the image data in the at least a portion of the display frame has a priority that is above a priority threshold,
• wherein the at least one RBL rule permits a level of blue light that is above a default blue light level defined by the RBL mode in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the priority determination;
• means for selectively reducing the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determination;
• and
• means for sending the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen, cause the UE to perform operations, the instructions including:

• at least one instruction to cause the UE to enter into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to determine, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules, wherein one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, wherein the application-specific information comprises information that identifies the specific application contributing the image data;
• wherein the one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon one or more of the application-specific information and content-specific information;
• wherein the content-specific information includes one or more of a type, priority and prominence of content in the at least a portion of the display frame;
• wherein the content-specific information indicates that the image data in the at least a portion of the display frame has a priority that is above a priority threshold,
• wherein the at least one RBL rule permits a level of blue light that is above a default blue light level defined by the RBL mode in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the priority determination;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to selectively reduce the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determination;
• and
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to send the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.
