Clamshell-type electronic device capable of detecting light source and illuminance

A clamshell-type electronic device capable of detecting a light source and illuminance, the clamshell-type electronic device comprising:

• a housing of which a state is switchable between a folded state and an unfolded state and which comprises a common hole;
• a main display disposed on a first surface of the housing and transformable depending on the state of the housing;
• a sub-display disposed on a second surface of the housing;
• a camera disposed in the housing and comprising a flash;
• an optical proximity sensor disposed in the housing and configured to sense light entering an inside of the housing;
• an optical sensor disposed in the housing and comprising a plurality of light receiving elements configured to sense light entering the inside of the housing;
• memory storing one or more computer programs;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the optical sensor and the memory,
• wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the clamshell-type electronic device to:
• obtain at least one of ambient brightness information and ambient light source information based on light information received from the optical sensor, and
• adjust a brightness of the main display by comparing light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical proximity sensor with light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical sensor, and
• wherein, when the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical proximity sensor is greater than the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical sensor, use the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical proximity sensor to adjust the brightness, and
• wherein, when the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical proximity sensor is less than or equal to than the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical sensor, compare the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical sensor to a reference value and adjust the brightness based upon the comparison of the light information of light entering the inside of the housing measured by the optical sensor to the reference value.
