Description

Background

When the mobile phone is used at night, because the light environment at night is dark, too high contrast can be formed between the light of the mobile phone screen and the dark light environment, so that the mobile phone screen can cause great stimulation to the eyes of a user and damage the eyesight of the user.

In order to reduce the impairment of the screen light to vision when the user is using the phone at night, some applications provide a night mode. The night mode is a display mode suitable for use in a low-light environment, compared to the normal mode, but some applications do not provide the night mode, and for these applications which do not provide the night mode, the terminal usually reduces the contrast between the screen light and the ambient light environment by turning down the screen brightness, so as to reduce the irritation of the screen to the eyes.

Because the manual adjustable range of screen brightness is limited, even if the manual adjustable range is adjusted to the minimum brightness, the screen light and the dark light environment still have high contrast, and in addition, for the white or light-colored area displayed on the screen, the emitted light still can cause great stimulation to eyes, thereby damaging the eyesight of a user.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a display mode switching method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the display mode switching method is applied to an operating system on a terminal in the present embodiment as shown in fig. 1. The display mode switching method may include the following steps.

In step 101, a first display mode of an operating system is obtained.

In step 102, when the first display mode of the operating system is the night mode, the second display mode of the application program being displayed on the screen is switched to the night mode in a predetermined manner.

Wherein, predetermined mode includes: converting the first type elements in the user interface of the application program into preset tones, and/or adding layers with preset transparency on the second type elements in the user interface of the application program, wherein the preset tones are tones corresponding to night modes.

In summary, in the display mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first display mode of the operating system is the night mode, the second display mode of the application program being displayed on the screen is switched to the night mode by converting the first type element in the user interface into the predetermined color tone and/or adding the layer with the predetermined transparency to the second type element in the user interface; because the white or light-colored area on the user interface of the application program is changed by changing the tone or adding the layer, the contrast between the light emitted by the screen and the dark light environment is reduced, and the problem that the vision of a user is damaged because the manual adjustable range of the screen brightness is limited and the white or light-colored area displayed on the screen and the dark light environment have high contrast even if the manual adjustment is carried out to the lowest brightness is solved; the effects of reducing the contrast between the screen light and the dark environment, reducing the stimulation of the light to eyes and protecting the eyesight of a user are achieved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a display mode switching method according to another exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, this embodiment illustrates the display mode switching method applied in an operating system on a terminal. The display mode switching method may include the following steps.

In step 201, when the illumination intensity is detected to be less than the first threshold value, the first display mode of the operating system is switched to the night mode.

In one possible implementation, when detecting that the illumination intensity of the surrounding environment is smaller than the first threshold, the operating system automatically switches the first display mode of the operating system to the night mode to reduce the contrast between the screen light and the environment with weak illumination intensity.

The first display mode is a system level display mode.

The night mode is a display mode suitable for a light intensity smaller than a predetermined threshold value.

In another possible implementation manner, a switch of the first display mode is provided in the operating system, and a user may manually control the switch to determine the first display mode of the operating system. The first display mode represents being active for both the operating system and each application running on top of the operating system.

Such as: the operating system provides a global night mode switch for a user, and a key of ". Sui _ night _ mode _ enabled", a code with a value of 0 or 1, is added to a program corresponding to a set resource, wherein,. Sui is the name of the operating system, a value of 1 indicates that the night mode of the operating system is started, a value of 0 indicates that the night mode of the operating system is stopped, and the default is closed. When the switch is switched, the value is also changed, and the operating system can determine the first display mode corresponding to the operating system according to the value of the night mode.

Optionally, when the operating system detects that the illumination intensity is smaller than the first threshold, a prompt message is displayed on the screen, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to start the night mode of the operating system.

When the user sees the prompt message on the screen, the user can switch the first display mode of the operating system to the night mode by controlling the switch of the first display mode.

In step 202, a first display mode of an operating system is obtained.

The operating system may determine the current first display mode of the operating system by reading the value of the night mode.

In step 203, when the first display mode of the operating system is the night mode, whether the application program being displayed on the screen supports the night mode within the application is detected.

Optionally, the operating system detects whether the application program supports the nighttime mode in the application, and may:

in a first step, a predetermined identifier in a header file of an application program is read.

The value of the predetermined flag is used to indicate whether the application program supports the nighttime mode within the application.

And secondly, when the value of the preset identifier is the first value, determining that the application program does not support the night mode in the application.

Such as: the name of the predetermined identifier is: name ═ ui _ night _ mode ", the values are: the value "false" indicates that the application does not support the nighttime mode in the application, and the first value is false.

Optionally, if the value of the predetermined identifier is the second value, which indicates that the application program supports the night mode in the application, the application program stores the mode parameter related to the night mode, and the application program only needs to switch to the corresponding second display mode according to the mode parameter of the night mode provided by the application program according to the first display mode of the operating system. The correspondence means that the first display mode and the second display mode are both the night mode or both the normal mode.

The second display mode is an application-level display mode. The night mode is a display mode suitable for the illumination intensity being less than a first threshold value, and the normal mode is a display mode suitable for the illumination intensity being greater than a second threshold value, the first threshold value being the same as or different from the second threshold value.

In one possible implementation, if there is no predetermined identification in the header file of the application, the operating system directly determines that the application does not support the nighttime mode within the application.

In step 204, when the application program does not support the night mode in the application, the second display mode of the application program being displayed on the screen is switched to the night mode in a predetermined manner.

The second display mode is an application-level display mode.

Optionally, the predetermined manner includes: converting the first type elements in the user interface of the application program into preset tones, and/or adding layers with preset transparency on the second type elements in the user interface of the application program. Wherein the predetermined color tone is a color tone corresponding to the night mode.

The collection of the first type elements and the second type elements form a user interface of the application program, and intersection exists or does not exist between the first type elements and the second type elements.

When the user interface of the application program only has the first type elements and does not have the second type elements, the first type elements form the user interface of the application program; when the user interface of the application program only has the second type elements and does not have the first type elements, the second type elements form the user interface of the application program.

Elements on the user interface include pictures, text, buttons, controls, backgrounds, and the like.

The first type element and the second type element may have an intersection, or the first type element and the second type element are the same, or the first type element is on the user interface, or the second type element is on the user interface.

Referring to fig. 3 in combination, if the predetermined manner includes: converting a first type element in the user interface of the application to a predetermined hue, step 204 may be replaced with steps 204a to 204 b.

In step 204a, when the application does not support the nighttime mode within the application, the picture in the user interface of the application is converted to a predetermined hue.

Hue refers to at least one color contained in the user interface of an application, such as: the background of the user interface is black, the button controls in the user interface are dark gray, and the text in the user interface is light gray. For different elements in the user interface, the application switches to the corresponding color according to the mode parameters of the night mode.

Referring to fig. 4 in combination, a user interface of the reading application is displayed on the screen 10, the user interface includes a title area 11 and a text area 12, when the second display mode of the reading application is the normal mode, the background color of the title area 11 is gray white, the background color of the text area 12 is white, and the text color is black, when the second display mode of the reading application is switched from the normal mode to the night mode, the background color of the title area 21 is changed into dark gray, the background color of the text area 22 is light gray, and the text color is gray.

Optionally, converting the picture in the user interface of the application program into a predetermined color tone may be implemented by the following steps:

in a first step, a picture type of a picture in a user interface of an application is detected.

The picture types include: the image processing device comprises a first picture type and a second picture type, wherein the height of the first picture type is equal to the pixel height of a screen or the width of the first picture type is equal to the pixel width of the screen, the height of the second picture type is smaller than the pixel height of the screen, and the width of the second picture type is smaller than the pixel width of the screen.

And secondly, when the picture in the user interface of the application program belongs to the first picture type, converting the picture into a preset tone according to the first color matrix.

And thirdly, when the picture in the user interface of the application program belongs to a second picture type, converting the picture into a preset tone according to the second color matrix.

Wherein the second step and the third step are juxtaposed steps, and the first color matrix in the second step is different from the second color matrix in the third step.

Since the operating system cannot distinguish the role of each picture in the user interface when actually implemented, it is identified according to the size of the picture. Such as: and if the height multiplied by the width of the picture is equal to the size of the screen, determining the picture as the background.

The converted colors are different for different sizes of pictures in the user interface, and each picture converted color belongs to a predetermined hue. The color matrix is a 5 × 4 matrix, for example, the color matrix M is stored in a one-dimensional array [ a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I, j, k, l, M, n, o, p, q, r, s, t ], and is expressed as:

in the picture, the RGBA (red, green, blue, transparency) values determine the color effect presented by the picture, and the color effect of the picture can be changed according to the color matrix by multiplying the color matrix by the RGBA values of the picture.

In the color matrix, a first row parameter abcde determines a red component of a picture, a second row parameter fghij determines a green component of the picture, a third row parameter klmno determines a blue component of the picture, a fourth row parameter pqrst determines the transparency of the picture, and in addition, e in a fifth row parameter determines an offset of red, j determines an offset of green, o determines an offset of blue, and t determines an offset of transparency.

If the color of the picture is not changed, the color matrix is:

changing the color can be achieved directly by modifying the color offset of the fifth column, such as: let e be 100, the red component of the picture can be increased by 100.

In addition, the purpose of changing color components can be achieved by directly multiplying a certain color value by a certain coefficient. For example, if the color matrix is:

the green component is magnified by a factor of 2 and the picture appears green in effect.

In step 204b, when the application program does not support the night mode in the application, the text in the user interface of the application program is converted into a predetermined color, and the predetermined color is a color belonging to a predetermined hue.

And determining a color matrix of the color to be converted of the characters by adopting the same method for the characters in the user interface, and multiplying the color matrix and the characters to obtain the converted characters color.

Optionally, in actual implementation, the parameters of the color matrix can be changed by controlling the operating system through the cloud end, so that the effect of converting different elements into different colors is achieved.

Both of the steps 204a and 204b may be executed, or only one of the steps may be executed.

Referring to fig. 3 in combination, if the predetermined manner includes: step 204 may be replaced with steps 204c to 204e by adding layers of a predetermined transparency on the second type element in the user interface of the application.

In step 204c, when the application does not support the night mode within the application, a picture type of a picture in a user interface of the application is detected.

In step 204d, when the picture in the user interface of the application program belongs to the first picture type, a layer with a first transparency is added on the picture.

In step 204e, when the picture in the user interface of the application program belongs to the second picture type, adding a layer with a second transparency on the picture.

Step 204d and step 204e are parallel steps.

The first transparency is different from the second transparency, and the value range of the first transparency and the second transparency is 0 to 1, wherein 0 represents complete transparency, and 1 represents opacity.

For pictures in the user interface, layers with different transparencies are added according to different sizes of different pictures, namely, the processing degrees of the layers of the pictures with different sizes are different.

Optionally, when the night mode is implemented, the added layer is usually a black layer.

In practical applications, steps 204a to 204b and steps 204c to 204e are parallel schemes. When the night mode is implemented, only step 204a to step 204b may be executed, or only step 204c to step 204e may be executed.

Alternatively, the schemes in steps 204a to 204b and steps 204c to 204e may be implemented in a mixture. The night mode can be implemented in different ways for different elements in the user interface of the application program. Such as: in the communication application program, the background picture of the user interface is converted into a preset tone, and the picture layer is added on the picture in the message sent between users. Since the pictures in the messages sent between the users need to be read by the users, if the colors are converted, the pictures lose readability, the contrast between the pictures and a dark light environment is reduced by increasing the image layers, and the readability of the pictures is kept.

Optionally, the predetermined manner further includes: the backlight brightness of the screen is adjusted to a brightness value corresponding to the night mode.

Since the manual adjustable range of the backlight brightness of the screen is limited, even if the brightness value is adjusted to the minimum value of the manual adjustable range, the contrast between the light of the screen and the dark environment light is still large, so the operating system can adjust the brightness value below the minimum value of the manual adjustable range to reduce the backlight brightness of the screen. Such as: the brightness value is adjusted to 10% below the minimum value of the manually adjustable range.

Optionally, when the first display mode of the operating system is switched to the normal mode, the operating system also switches the second display mode of the application program being displayed on the screen to the normal mode.

The process of switching the second display mode to the normal mode corresponds to the process of switching the second display mode to the night mode, and is a reciprocal process. Such as: when the second display mode is switched to the night mode, the color is converted into the original color in a color conversion mode when the second display mode is switched to the normal mode; when the second display mode is switched to the night mode, the image layer is removed when the second display mode is switched to the normal mode by the mode of adding the image layer; when the second display mode is switched to the night mode, the brightness value is restored by reducing the brightness value when the second display mode is switched to the normal mode.

Aiming at step 201, when detecting that the illumination intensity is smaller than a first threshold value, the operating system switches the first display mode to the night mode, so that the operating system switches when the terminal is in a darker light environment, the contrast between the light of the screen and the dark light environment is reduced, the stimulation to the eyes of the user is reduced, and the eyesight of the user is protected.

In step 203 to step 204, when it is detected that the application does not support the night mode in the application, the application being displayed on the screen is processed in a predetermined manner, so that the application not supporting the night mode in the application can also exhibit the effect of the night mode, thereby reducing the contrast between the screen light and the dark light environment, reducing the stimulation to the eyes of the user, and protecting the eyesight of the user.

For steps 204a to 204b, the user interface is converted into a predetermined color tone, so that the original white or light color area on the user interface can be converted into a color tone corresponding to the night mode, thereby reducing the contrast between the screen light and the dark light environment, reducing the stimulation to the eyes of the user, and protecting the eyesight of the user.

For steps 204c to 204e, adding an image layer with a predetermined transparency to the second type element on the user interface of the application program, so that the readability of the picture in the user interface is not affected while the contrast between the screen light and the dark light environment is reduced.

The following are embodiments of the disclosed apparatus that may be used to perform embodiments of the disclosed methods. For details not disclosed in the embodiments of the apparatus of the present disclosure, refer to the embodiments of the method of the present disclosure.
