Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method of setting a display brightness of a display of an electronic device. One or more images of a user of the electronic device may be captured with a camera of the electronic device. A characteristic of an eye of the user may be detected in the one or more images. A light adaptation state of the user's eye may be determined based on the detected characteristic. The display brightness of the display of the electronic device may be set in view of the determined light adaptation state.

A method of setting a display brightness of a display of an electronic device, comprising:
- capturing one or more images of an eye of a user of the electronic device with a camera of the electronic device;
- illuminating the display during the capturing of the one or more images of the user of the electronic device with the camera, wherein the illumination of the display comprises illuminating the display and displaying monochrome red light;
- analyzing the one or more images of the eye of the user to detect a characteristic of the eye of the user;
- determining a light adaptation state of the user's eye based on the detected characteristic;
- and
- setting the display brightness of the display of the electronic device based on the determined light adaptation state of the user's eye.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a display;
- and
- control circuitry that executes a display brightness function configured to control a brightness of the display by:
- controlling the camera to capture one or more images of an eye of a user of the electronic device;
- controlling the display to illuminate during the capturing of the one or more images of the user of the electronic device with the camera, wherein the illumination of the display comprises illuminating the display and displaying monochrome red light;
- analyzing the one or more images of the eye of the user to detect a characteristic of the eye of the user;
- determining a light adaptation state of the user's eye based on the detected characteristic;
- and
- setting the display brightness of the display in view of the determined light adaptation state of the user's eye.
