Systems and methods for identifying and correcting illumination sources reflecting on displays

A non-transitory memory storage device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:

• receive a measurement from an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS);
• determine that the measurement indicates an increase in ambient illumination equal to or greater than a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is selected based upon the identity of the user;
• in response to the determination, receive an image from a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor;
• identify a light source in the image, the identification comprising a location, an intensity, and a shape of the light source;
• apply a blue light noise correction to the image based upon the identification of the light source prior to rendering the image on a display coupled to the IHS;
• extract illumination data from the image;
• reduce the measurement in proportion to the difference between the illumination data and the measurement to produce an adjusted measurement;
• and
• modify a brightness of the display based upon the adjusted measurement.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a measurement from an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS);
• determining that the measurement indicates an increase in ambient illumination equal to or greater than a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is selected based upon at least one of:
• an identity of an application currently under execution or a duration of execution of the application;
• in response to the determination, receiving an image from a charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor;
• extracting illumination data from the image;
• adjusting the measurement in response to the illumination data by reducing the measurement in proportion to the difference between the illumination data and the measurement;
• identifying a light source in the image, the identification comprising a location, an intensity, and a shape of the light source;
• applying a blue light noise correction to the image based upon the identification of the light source prior to rendering the image on the display;
• and
• modifying a brightness of a display coupled to an Information Handling System (IHS) based upon the adjusted measurement.
