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:
- determining a light emission profile of a first device and a second device;
- determining that the light emission profile of the second device is lesser that the light emission profile of the first device;
- determining that a user currently using the first device has exceeded a determined light emission exposure limit, wherein the user's light emission exposure limit is calculated based on the characteristics of content displayed on the electronic device;
- transmitting a notification to the user to switch from the first device to the second device within a predefined period of time;
- and
- in response to determining that the user has not switched from the first device to the second device within the predefined period of time based on receiving data from the first device via an I/O path that the device is currently in operation, automatically powering off the first device.
A system, comprising:
- communication circuitry configured to access a first device associated with a user;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine a light emission profile of a first device and a second device;
- determine that the light emission profile of the second device is lesser that the light emission profile of the first device;
- determine that a user currently using the first device has exceeded a determined light emission exposure limit, wherein the user's light emission exposure limit is calculated based on the characteristics of content displayed on the electronic device;
- transmit a notification to the user to switch from the first device to the second device within a predefined period of time;
- and
- in response to determining that the user has not switched from the first device to the second device within the predefined period of time based on receiving data from the first device via an I/O path that the device is currently in operation, automatically power off the first device.
