Abstract
The techniques of the present invention relate to automatically controlling display intensity. The present invention includes a calibration step in which the display intensity settings are correlated to the ambient light intensity conditions. The present invention also includes an automatic adjustment step in which the ambient light intensity is measured and the display intensity is automatically adjusted according to a correlation defined in the calibration step.
Claims20
A method for adjusting a display's intensity level comprising:
- determining a user's preferred display intensity level settings for a plurality of different ambient light intensity conditions;
- calculating a correlation curve for the display intensity level settings;
- and
- automatically adjusting the display intensity level for a measured ambient light intensity condition by using the correlation curve.
A method for controlling the intensity of a hue of a display comprising:
- recording preferred display hue intensity level settings for a user at a plurality of measured ambient light hue intensity conditions;
- calculating a correlation curve for the display hue intensity level settings;
- and
- automatically adjusting the display hue intensity level for a measured ambient light intensity condition by using the correlation curve.
An apparatus for a display comprising:
- means for recording a user's preferred display intensity level settings for a plurality of different ambient light intensity conditions;
- means for calculating a correlation curve for the display intensity level settings;
- and
- means for automatically adjusting the display intensity level for a measured ambient light intensity condition by using the correlation curve.
