Abstract
An application for controlling the brightness of a display of a device includes having a first brightness setting and a second brightness setting, the first brightness setting is used to set the brightness of the display when two-dimensional content is displayed on the display while the second brightness setting is used to set the brightness of the display when three-dimensional content is displayed on the display. The first and second brightness settings are preferably administered through a user interface.
Claims20
An automatic brightness control comprising:
- a display system having a display, the display system displaying two-dimensional content during a first interval and three-dimensional content during a second interval;
- a means for determining when the three-dimensional content is displayed by the display system;
- when the two-dimensional content is displayed by the display system, setting a brightness level of the display to a first brightness level;
- and
- when the three-dimensional content is displayed by the display system, setting the brightness level of the display to a second brightness level.
A method of automatically controlling the brightness of a display comprising:
- (a) receiving content;
- (b) determining if the content is two-dimensional content or three-dimensional content;
- (c) if the content is the two-dimensional content, setting a brightness level of the display to a first brightness level;
- (d) if the content is the three-dimensional content, setting the brightness level of the display to a second brightness level;
- (e) displaying the content;
- and
- (f) repeating steps a-f.
A system for automatic control of brightness comprising:
- a television comprising a display and a processor;
- software running on the processor determines a type of content to be displayed selected from the group consisting of two-dimensional content and three-dimensional content;
- software running on the processor sets a brightness level of the display to a first brightness level before displaying the two-dimensional content;
- software running on the processor sets the brightness level of the display to a second brightness level before displaying the three-dimensional content;
- and
- software running on the processor displays the content on the display.
