Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring light emissions in electronic devices. The disclosed techniques herein provide for determining a display duration of display devices for a user. Light emission profiles for each of the display devices are determined. A cumulative emissions exposure is determined that is based on the light emission profiles for the display devices and the display duration of the display devices for the user. A determination is made whether the cumulative emissions exposure exceeds a light emission exposure limit set for the user. In a positive determination, an instruction is transmitted to the display devices for execution of a remedial action based on predefined rules.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving medical information associated with a user of an electronic device;
- determining a light emission exposure limit based on the medical information received;
- determining whether the user's current cumulative light emission exposure exceeds the determined light emission exposure limit, wherein the user's current cumulative light emission exposure is calculated based on the characteristics of content displayed on the electronic device;
- and
- in response to determining that user's current cumulative light emission exposure exceeds the determined light emission exposure limit, executing an instruction to switch to a second electronic device associated with the user.
A system, comprising:
- communication circuitry configured to access an electronic device associated with a user;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- receive medical information associated with the user of the electronic device;
- determine a light emission exposure limit based on the medical information received;
- determine whether the user's current cumulative light emission exposure exceeds the determined light emission exposure limit, wherein the user's current cumulative light emission exposure is calculated based on the characteristics of content displayed on the electronic device;
- and
- in response to determining that user's current cumulative light emission exposure exceeds the determined light emission exposure limit, execute an instruction to switch to a second electronic device associated with the user.
