Method and apparatus for controlling brightness of screen widget, and storage medium

#The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202011052142.4, filed on Sep. 29, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

#The disclosure relates to the field of terminals, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for controlling brightness of a screen widget, and a storage medium.

#Many mobile phone users use mobile phones after lights out at night. In essence, they are using the mobile phone in a dark environment. Typically, under such circumstances, the mobile phone will enter a luminous screen mode, and the screen brightness is dimmed significantly, which is more comfortable for the eyes.

#The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.

#FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the principle of determining a screen widget in the related art.

#FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling brightness of a screen widget according to an exemplary embodiment.

#Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

#In the related art, if the user uses a screen widget with a small screen window, (such as a video widget), the content in the screen widget may be unclear. The user often needs to increase the screen brightness; however, if the brightness is increased for the full screen, it will cause more dazzling problems due to the high brightness.

#Among the related technologies, local adjustment technologies such as partial display and partial highlighting of OLED displays have been mature and have been applied in practice. The realization method is as shown in FIG. 1. The main control chip (AP) will specify in advance the coordinates of the starting point (point a) and the end point (point b) of the area to be adjusted partially and notify the same to the display driver chip (DDIC). At the same time, the DDIC will also be notified of the adjustment operations that need to be performed, for example, the brightness of the area needs to be adjusted to a high level, DDIC will increase the drive current of all pixels in this area to achieve the purpose of increasing the brightness of this area. In other words, the position of the video window in the related art is relatively fixed, and the brightness of the video widget can be adjusted only when it is displayed at a preset position. As the position of the video widget moves, when it leaves the preset position, the brightness of the video widget cannot be adjusted.
