In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, some terms of the embodiments of the present application are explained below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1) Hall sensor (HALL sensor)

The Hall sensor is a magnetic element, can be arranged in electronic equipment and is used for supporting the leather sheath function. When the electronic equipment is provided with the flip leather sheath, the electronic equipment can detect the opening and closing state of the flip leather sheath by using the Hall sensor. Wherein, the opening and closing state comprises a leather sheath opening state or a leather sheath closing state.

In practical implementation, the electronic device may have a hall sensor built therein, and the flip holster may have a magnetic element (e.g., a sheet magnet) built therein. The realization principle is as follows: on one hand, when the flip leather sheath is opened to be closed, the magnetic element on the leather sheath is close to or contacts the Hall sensor on the electronic equipment to trigger the Hall sensor circuit to be closed, at the moment, the magnetic field is increased, the voltage is increased, and the electronic equipment is triggered to extinguish the screen. On the other hand, when the flip leather sheath is opened from the closed state, the magnetic element on the leather sheath is far away from the Hall sensor on the electronic equipment, at the moment, the circuit of the Hall sensor is disconnected, the magnetic field is weakened, the voltage is reduced, and the electronic equipment is triggered to light the display screen.

It should be noted that, for the position of the hall sensor in the electronic device and the position of the magnetic element in the leather sheath, the hall sensor and the magnetic element may be specifically set according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a state switching process of an electronic device with a flip leather sheath installed in use.

Referring to fig. 1, when the hall sensor in the electronic device is far away from the magnetic element in the holster by contact, the electronic device is in the open state of the holster, and the hall sensor can detect that the holster is changed from the closed (or buckled) state to the open state, in which case the electronic device is triggered to light up the display screen. Further, after the hall sensor and the magnetic element are far away from each other to a certain extent or for a certain time, the electronic device is in a leather case opening state.

Referring to fig. 1 again, when the hall sensor in the electronic device is in contact with the magnetic element in the holster from a far distance, the electronic device is in a closed state of the holster, and the hall sensor can detect that the holster is changed from an open state to a closed state, in which case the electronic device is triggered to extinguish the screen. Further, after the hall sensor is in contact with the magnetic element to a certain extent or for a certain time, the electronic device is in a leather case closed state.

It should be noted that, for the open state of the leather sheath, the leather sheath does not shield the ambient light device, so that the brightness of the display screen can be automatically adjusted according to the brightness value reported by the ambient light sensor. For the closed state of the leather sheath, the brightness of the display screen can be adjusted by adopting fixed brightness or brightness values reported by a rear ambient light device. And for the closed process state of the leather sheath, the screen brightness is changed from normal brightness to fixed brightness, or brightness adjustment is carried out according to the brightness value reported by the rear ambient light device. These scenarios are not the focus of the discussion of the embodiments of the present application.

For the opening process state of the leather sheath, the value reported by the ambient light sensor is probably a value which is lower than the actual ambient light brightness due to the shielding of the leather sheath on the ambient light. At this time, a display screen lighting event (also referred to as a screen lighting event) that switches from a screen-off state to a screen-on state is involved, and a matching relationship between the brightness of the display screen when the display screen is on and the actual ambient light brightness is very important for user experience. If the brightness set when the display screen is lighted is not appropriate, the phenomenon that the display screen is firstly bright and then dark or firstly dark and then bright can be caused, if the screen-lighting action is postponed until the leather sheath is completely opened and then lighted, the user can feel that the screen of the electronic equipment is dull, and the user experience can be influenced.

The problem that this application scheme, this application embodiment will solve is how to accomplish the display screen from putting out the screen attitude and opening along with the leather sheath and set up the luminance with actual environment light intensity assorted in the self-adaptation. That is, the present application is directed to precisely control the brightness of the display screen when the display screen is lit during the opening of the holster. The scene that the leather sheath is opened through the Hall sensor detection state is related to in the implementation process of the scheme.

The following describes the opening state of the holster in conjunction with a scenario where the user uses an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) having a holster. Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a handset with a flip holster installed from a closed holster position to an open holster position.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), the cellular phone with the holster attached is in the closed state of the holster, in which case the hall sensor in the cellular phone is in contact with or overlaps the magnetic element in the holster.

In some embodiments, in the closed state of the holster, the display of the cell phone may be in a blanking state, i.e., all pixels of the display are blanked.

In other embodiments, for a holster with a transparent window, in a closed state of the holster (also referred to as a holster mode), the mobile phone may illuminate a portion of pixels in the display screen for displaying information such as time, short message, or incoming call, and the like, and the information is displayed to the user through the transparent window of the holster. Fig. 2 is a schematic illustration of a holster provided with a transparent window.

As shown in fig. 2 (b), when the user opens the holster, the hall sensor in the handset changes contact with the magnetic element in the holster away, in which case the handset switches from the closed holster state to the open holster state.

In response to the user's operation of opening the holster, the mobile phone lights up all pixels of the display screen, and it can be understood that the display screen of the mobile phone is switched from a screen-off state (which may also be referred to as a screen-off state) to a screen-on state.

As shown in fig. 2 (c), the mobile phone is in the open state of the leather sheath, and the hall sensor disposed at the mobile phone side and the magnetic element disposed at the leather sheath side are located on the same plane, i.e., they are 180 degrees. It will be appreciated that the locations of the hall sensor and the magnetic element are illustrated schematically.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can judge the state change of the leather sheath according to the state change of the Hall sensor, and therefore the closing or opening action of the leather sheath can be judged.

2) Ambient light sensor

An ambient light sensor is usually disposed in the electronic device, and the ambient light sensor can periodically collect a light brightness value of an environment where the electronic device is located. For example, the electronic device collects an ambient light brightness value every 350 milliseconds (ms) through an ambient light sensor, and further, the electronic device may adaptively adjust the brightness of the display screen of the electronic device according to the ambient light brightness value. The ambient light sensor may also be referred to as a light sensor, a light sensing device, or an ambient light device, among others.

It should be noted that the ambient light sensor may be disposed on the same side of the electronic device as the display screen, and is hereinafter referred to as a front ambient light sensor for short; the ambient light sensor may be disposed on the same side of the electronic device as the rear housing, and is hereinafter referred to as a rear ambient light sensor.

Specifically to this application scheme, the ambient light sensor that this application scheme adopted is leading ambient light sensor, and in the scene that the leather sheath was opened from closed, electronic equipment's display screen can be followed and is put out the screen attitude change and be bright screen attitude, can perceive the actual ambient light luminance when the leather sheath was opened from closed through leading ambient light sensor this moment to luminance when the ambient light luminance automatically regulated display screen was lighted according to the perception. Unless otherwise specified, the ambient light sensor mentioned hereinafter refers to a front-mounted ambient light sensor.

And when the Hall sensor detects that the leather sheath is opened from the closed state, the Hall sensor triggers the electronic equipment to light the display screen. When the electronic equipment lights the display screen, the electronic equipment can set the brightness of the display screen when the display screen is lighted according to the ambient light brightness collected by the ambient light sensor.

It should be noted that, for the condition that the ambient light sensor drives to report the first frame brightness value to the brightness obtaining module of the display engine, the effective time may be set, and if the brightness obtaining module of the display engine receives the first frame brightness value within the effective time, the first frame brightness value is effective and can be used as the brightness value when the display screen is bright, so that the real-time effectiveness of obtaining the brightness information can be ensured, and the brightness adjustment effect of the display screen is improved. If the first frame brightness value is not received within the valid time, that is, the reporting time is over, the brightness acquiring module of the display engine may adopt a default brightness value, for example, the default brightness value may be 0.

For example, the effective time may be set to 200ms, or set to 300ms, and of course, may also be set to any other time length that meets the actual requirement, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. For convenience of explanation, the effective time is exemplified as 200ms hereinafter.

At present, for an electronic device with a leather sheath function, when the electronic device is in a closed state of the leather sheath, a front-mounted ambient light sensor cannot collect external light due to shielding of the leather sheath, and a display screen is usually in a screen-off state at the moment; when the electronic equipment is in the leather sheath opening process state, the display screen can automatically light. However, due to the fact that the leather sheath shields the ambient light, the ambient light brightness value collected by the ambient light sensor is not accurate enough, and therefore when the display screen is automatically turned on, the problem that the brightness changes obviously or the screen is turned on and delayed obviously occurs, and the user experience is poor.

In the following, some problems of the scheme of automatically turning on the display screen when the holster is opened will be described with respect to the electronic device with the holster function, taking an example that the sampling period of the ambient light sensor is 350ms and the effective time corresponding to the brightness value of the first frame is 200ms.

On one hand, the ambient light sensor driver is always in a normally open working state, so the ambient light sensor driver can always cache the ambient light brightness value of the previous frame, and after the ambient light sensor driver receives a command which is issued by the brightness acquisition module of the display engine and indicates to acquire the ambient light brightness value of the first frame, if the ambient light sensor driver directly returns the latest cached frame of brightness value data to the brightness acquisition module of the display engine, the latest cached frame of brightness value data is used as the brightness value when the display screen is bright. Since the frame brightness value data is generated a certain time (for example, 0 to 350 ms) before the holster is opened, and the brightness value data may be a value close to or equal to the 0 value, in an actual environment where the display screen is not completely dark, if the brightness adjustment of the screen after the holster is opened is performed by using the frame brightness value data cached last time, the problem of dimming before lighting when the display screen is on will be directly caused, and the user experience is not good.

On the other hand, assuming that a mode that the ambient light sensor drives the first frame data reported after receiving the command of acquiring the brightness value of the first frame is used as the first frame data, since the ambient light sensor needs a certain integration time to complete the collection of the brightness value of the ambient light, for a sampling period of 350ms, the effective time is more than 200ms, a default value is adopted under the overtime condition, and the default value is a fixed value, which is obviously not associated with the actual ambient light brightness, and it cannot be ensured that the brightness when the screen is on is consistent with the actual ambient light brightness, which also results in poor user experience.

On the other hand, if the effective time corresponding to the brightness value of the first frame is extended, for example, from 200ms to 500ms, the user may feel that the bright screen of the screen is slow after the holster is opened, and the poor user experience may cause the user to question the side effects of poor performance of the mobile phone.

Therefore, the existing scheme can not meet the requirement of self-adaptive screen brightening of the display screen of the electronic equipment with the screen brightness adjusted when the leather sheath is opened.

In some embodiments, for an electronic device provided with a rear photosensitive device or a color temperature device, when the rear photosensitive device is not shielded, the rear photosensitive device may be used to measure an ambient light brightness value for adjusting brightness when the display screen is bright. However, in a scene where the rear-mounted light sensing device is blocked, the rear-mounted light sensing device cannot perform ambient light measurement, so that when the leather sheath is opened, the brightness of the screen of the mobile phone still has the problem of first darkness and then lightness. Furthermore, in a scene with backlight, the brightness value of the ambient light collected by the rear photosensitive device cannot accurately represent the brightness of the front photosensitive device. Therefore, for the electronic equipment supporting the leather sheath function, the problem of obvious brightness change when the display screen is bright in the opening process of the leather sheath still cannot be solved through the rear photosensitive device.

In view of the foregoing problems, embodiments of the present application provide a screen brightness adjusting method and an electronic device. Through this application scheme, when electronic equipment detects the leather sheath from closed to opening, improve ambient light sensor's sampling rate, and calculate or the prediction compensation according to the multiframe luminance value data that high frequency sampling obtained, so can acquire the luminance value approximate with actual environment luminance fast, thereby can make luminance when the leather sheath is opened the in-process display screen bright screen unanimous with actual environment luminance, can avoid behind the bright screen that the screen takes place the bright and dark change phenomenon that is showing or the bright screen has obvious delayed problem, consequently can also avoid in darker environment the display screen because show luminance too high and too dazzling, or avoid in brighter environment the display screen because show luminance too low and see unclear, promote user experience. Therefore, the problem that when the leather sheath is opened from the closed state, the display screen automatically brightens, and changes in brightness or the bright screen is delayed obviously can be solved.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the application may be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. By way of example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited.

An execution main body of the screen brightness adjusting method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity that can implement the screen brightness adjusting method in the electronic device, and the scheme of the present application may be implemented by hardware and/or software, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example, and an exemplary description is provided for a screen brightness adjustment method provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings.

First of all, it should be noted that the screen brightness adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to an electronic device with a display screen, where the electronic device may be provided with an ambient light sensor, and the ambient light sensor is located on the same side as the display screen, that is, a front-mounted ambient light sensor. The electronic equipment is provided with a leather sheath, and the electronic equipment supports the leather sheath function.

In actual implementation, when the user opened the leather sheath, electronic equipment's display screen can bright the screen automatically, and the luminance of the environment that electronic equipment is located probably has multiple condition, how to determine accurate actual environment luminance as the luminance when the display screen is bright, this is the purpose of this application scheme. The following describes in detail how to collect an ambient light brightness value by an ambient light sensor when detecting that a user opens a leather sheath, and determines a brightness value adopted by a display screen when the display screen is bright according to the collected ambient light brightness value.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a screen brightness adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes steps S101-S103 described below.

S101, responding to the operation of opening the leather sheath by a user, and adjusting the sampling period of the ambient light sensor from a first sampling period to a second sampling period, wherein the second sampling period is smaller than the first sampling period.

The first sampling period may refer to a default sampling period of the ambient light sensor. Typically, the ambient light sensor is normally on, typically for a first sampling period, before the holster is opened.

In the embodiment of the application, when the user opens the leather sheath, the electronic device can sense the action of the leather sheath from closing to opening through the Hall sensor. Furthermore, the electronic equipment can respond to the operation of opening the leather sheath by the user, shorten the sampling interval duration of the front-mounted ambient light sensor, and improve the sampling rate, so that the front-mounted ambient light sensor can perform high-frequency sampling from closing to opening of the leather sheath. The principle that the specific hall sensor senses that the leather sheath is opened refers to the detailed description of the hall sensor, and is not repeated herein.

The value of the first sampling period may be specifically set according to an actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. Illustratively, the default sampling period (i.e., the first sampling period) duration of the front-facing ambient light sensor is typically 350ms, i.e., once every 350ms.

The sampling period of the ambient light sensor is equal to the integration time plus the waiting time after the integration is completed, so that the value of the second sampling period can be specifically reduced by the integration time and/or the waiting time after the integration is completed according to the actual use requirement, or the ambient light device is set to a short integration mode to achieve a higher-frequency sampling target.

Illustratively, in the prior art, the integration time is generally configured to be 50ms, and the integrated latency is generally configured to be 300ms, and accordingly the sampling period is 350ms. In the embodiment of the present application, regarding the setting of the wait time after completion of integration, the wait time supported by the device may be set in the range of 0ms to the maximum wait time supported by the device. The reason is that: firstly, whether a function of waiting after integration is started can be set, and if the function is not started, the waiting time is 0ms; second, if the function is turned on, the latency can only be set to an integer multiple of the shortest latency supported by the device, and limited by the maximum setting. For example, the integration time may be set to 50ms, and the latency after integration may be set to 0ms, in which case, the sampling period is equal to the integration time, both of which are 50ms, which is equivalent to increasing the sampling frequency. For convenience of description, the following description will be given by taking a 50ms high frequency sampling period as an example.

Illustratively, the ambient light device may be set to a short integration mode, in which the integration time may range from several microseconds to twenty-several ms, and the specific upper limit may be configured by driving of the ambient light sensor, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, in the normal integration mode, the integration time of the ambient light device is 50ms, and when the ambient light device is set to the short integration mode, the integration time becomes 30ms, which is equivalent to raising the sampling frequency.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, in the opening process of the leather sheath, an included angle (also referred to as a leather sheath opening and closing angle) between the leather sheath and the front screen of the mobile phone becomes gradually larger, for example, the included angle may be generally changed from 0 degree to 360 degrees, and accordingly, as the included angle becomes larger, the shielding degree of the leather sheath on the ambient light becomes gradually smaller. The degree of shielding of the display screen of the mobile phone by the holster when the mobile phone and the holster are in different angular relationships is exemplarily described below with reference to the top view of the mobile phone and the holster shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4 (a), when the holster is closed, the angle α =0 ° between the front screen of the mobile phone and the holster, and at this time, the holster completely blocks the ambient light, so the ambient light sensor of the mobile phone cannot sense the ambient light. As shown in fig. 4 (b), when the leather sheath is opened, the included angle between the mobile phone and the leather sheath is 0 ° < α <180 °, and at this time, as the included angle α between the front screen of the mobile phone and the leather sheath increases, the shielding degree of the leather sheath to the ambient light gradually decreases, and the ambient light sensor of the mobile phone can sense the ambient light. As shown in fig. 4 (c), when the holster is opened, the angle α =180 ° between the front screen of the mobile phone and the holster, and at this time, the holster does not block the external ambient light.

It can be understood that under the condition that the opening angle of the leather sheath is smaller than 90 degrees, the leather sheath has a large influence on the front-mounted ambient light sensor, and high-frequency sampling can be triggered during the process, so that the effectiveness and the accuracy of sampling data are improved; and under the condition that the opening and closing angle of the leather sheath is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, the influence of the leather sheath on the front-mounted ambient light sensor becomes smaller and can be ignored.

In practical use, if the time for opening the leather sheath is hundreds of ms, the opening and closing angle of the leather sheath can reach more than 90 degrees in hundreds of ms when the user opens the leather sheath. By means of the scheme, more accurate ambient light brightness values can be acquired through high-frequency sampling in a short time period of hundreds of ms when the user opens the leather sheath.

In the embodiment of the application, when the leather sheath is opened, if the distance between the hall sensor and the magnetic element on the leather sheath exceeds the preset distance threshold, the hall sensor detects a hall far-away event, so that the leather sheath can be known to be in an opening process state, and then high-frequency sampling of ambient light can be started and the brightness value of the first frame can be predicted. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the setting position of the hall sensor on the electronic device may have a certain influence on the brightness value prediction of the first frame.

For example, taking an electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, as shown by a dashed line A1A2 in (a) of fig. 5, the side is a right edge of the mobile phone, and if the hall sensor is disposed at a position on the mobile phone close to the right edge of the mobile phone, when the holster is opened, the distance between the hall sensor and the magnetic element on the holster is increased greatly, and the distance can quickly exceed a preset distance threshold, so that the hall sensor can quickly sense a hall far event, and thus, high-frequency sampling of ambient light and prediction of a first frame brightness value are started more quickly, which is beneficial to completing high-frequency integration sampling for more times, and reliability of prediction can be improved.

For another example, as shown by a dashed line B1B2 in fig. 5 (B), the side is a left side edge of the mobile phone, the leather case is usually opened or closed along the left side edge of the mobile phone, and if the hall sensor is disposed on the mobile phone at a position close to the left side edge of the mobile phone, when the leather case is opened, the distance between the hall sensor and the magnetic element on the leather case increases slightly and exceeds the preset distance threshold value relatively slowly, so that the hall sensor senses a hall distant event with a relatively large time delay, the high-frequency sampling starts to be delayed, and accordingly, the number of high-frequency sampling times is reduced, and thus the reliability of prediction is relatively reduced.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when the ambient light sensor driver receives a command (referred to as a first frame command for short) that the brightness acquisition module of the display engine instructs to report a brightness value of a first frame, if the ambient light sensor driver is in a high-frequency sampling process, the ambient light sensor driver may report the predicted brightness value of the first frame to the brightness acquisition module of the display engine after completing the high-frequency sampling and predicting the brightness value of the first frame.

And S102, determining a first ambient light brightness value according to multi-frame brightness value data sampled by the ambient light sensor in a second sampling period.

Alternatively, if the valid time is set for the brightness value of the first frame, the electronic device may perform high-frequency sampling within the valid time to obtain a plurality of sampled data. Further, a first ambient light brightness value for a brightness value of the display screen when the display screen is on may be determined based on the plurality of sampled data. The value of the effective time can be specifically set according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not limited; for example, the effective time may be 200ms. It can be understood that in the high-frequency sampling mode, the time for sampling multi-frame brightness value data is controlled within the valid time to ensure the data validity.

For example, take the sample period shortened from 350ms to 30ms as an example:

when the sampling period is 350ms, at most 1 sampling can be completed within 200ms of the effective time, a frame of brightness value data is obtained, and the frame of brightness value data is determined as a first ambient light brightness value.

When the sampling period is 30ms, sampling can be completed for 6 times within 200ms of the effective time to obtain six frames of brightness value data, that is, six frames of brightness value data can be obtained within 200ms of the sampling time allowed by the bright screen response timeout. Accordingly, the first ambient light luminance value may be determined from the six-frame luminance value data.

For another example, take the sampling period shortened from 350ms to 50ms as an example:

when the sampling period is 50ms, the sampling can be completed for 4 times within 200ms of the effective time to obtain four frames of luminance value data, that is, the four frames of luminance value data can be obtained within 200ms of the sampling time allowed by the bright screen response timeout. Accordingly, the first ambient light luminance value may be determined from the four-frame luminance value data.

Therefore, the multi-frame brightness value data are obtained by performing high-frequency sampling when the leather sheath is opened, and the environment light brightness value is calculated by adopting the logic or compensation algorithm provided by the scheme of the application based on the multi-frame brightness value data, so that the actual light brightness of the environment where the current electronic equipment is located can be more accurately represented. A possible implementation of how to determine the first ambient light luminance value from the multi-frame luminance value data after the multi-frame luminance value data is obtained by high-frequency sampling is explained below by way of example.

Exemplarily, the sampling period is shortened from 350ms to 50ms, and it is assumed that 3 times of sampling are completed within 200ms of the valid time: the first time sampling data is a first frame brightness value, the second time sampling data is a second frame brightness value, and the third time sampling data is a third frame brightness value.

For convenience of description, the luminance value of the first frame is denoted as lux1, the luminance value of the second frame is denoted as lux2, and the luminance value of the third frame is denoted as lux3. The brightness values of multiple frames obtained by high-frequency sampling may be compared (for example, lux2 and lux3 may be compared), and then the brightness value of the ambient light to be reported this time is determined according to the comparison result, where the specific determination process is as follows:

on the one hand, if lux3 is less than or equal to lux2, the maximum value of the three times of sampled data may be used as the ambient light brightness value to be reported this time (the first ambient light brightness value to be determined above). For example, if the maximum value of the three sampled data is lux1, the lux1 may be used as the brightness value of the ambient light to be reported this time.

On the other hand, if lux3 is greater than lux2, the difference between lux3 and lux2 may be taken as the slope of the two sample changes (denoted as K). That is, the slope K can be calculated from lux3-lux 2. If the slope K is greater than 0, the slope K is a positive slope. In some embodiments, for the case of the positive slope, compensation calculation may be performed according to the slope, and accordingly, subsequent sampling may be omitted, and the ambient light brightness value to be reported this time may be obtained quickly. Wherein, the slope K can be used as a linear compensation parameter.

Of course, the compensation scheme herein may also select the most recent data to perform compensation calculation according to other fitting formulas such as a polynomial curve, for example, a unary quadratic polynomial fitting curve is used for compensation. For convenience of description, the linear compensation of the unary first-order polynomial is described as an example.

For example, assuming that 4 sampling can be completed within 200ms of the valid time, it is usually necessary to determine the ambient light brightness value to be reported after the 4 th sampling is finished and the collected data is stable. However, in actual implementation, prediction can be performed in advance when a certain condition is satisfied; for example: if after 3 times of sampling are continuously completed, the slope K corresponding to the three times of sampling data is found to be a positive slope through calculation, and the lux1, the lux2 and the lux3 are in a linear increasing trend, the last sampling can be omitted. Then, the ambient light brightness value to be reported can be calculated through the three times of sampling data, for example, the calculated ambient light brightness value is K × (4-3) + lux3.

It should be understood that the above manner of calculating the ambient light brightness by using the high-frequency sampling data is only an exemplary list, and may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the application, when the multi-frame sample data acquired within the sampling time allowed by the bright screen response timeout meets the condition of the forward linear slope, the multi-frame sample data and the forward slope K can be used for performing compensation calculation to predict the actual ambient light brightness value.

According to the scheme, when the ambient light brightness value is sampled, the sampling times allowed by bright screen response overtime are fully utilized, and multi-frame sampling data are obtained through high-frequency sampling. And then based on multi-frame sampling data, prediction is carried out according to the forward linear slope, an environment light brightness value closer to the real environment light brightness can be obtained, and the accuracy of environment light brightness prediction is improved.

S103, lighting a display screen of the electronic device according to the first ambient light brightness value.

In the embodiment of the application, after the electronic device acquires the first environment brightness value, the electronic device can set the first environment brightness value as the brightness value when the display screen is bright, so that when the leather sheath is opened, the display screen is automatically bright, and the brightness when the display screen is bright is basically consistent with the actual environment brightness.

Through the scheme, the environment brightness predicted by the first frame is ensured to be close to the real brightness of the external environment as far as possible, the screen is lightened according to the brightness value of the first frame, the brightness of the display screen is consistent with the brightness of the actual environment, the influence of the brightness change of the screen on user experience after the screen is lightened is avoided, the situation that the display screen is too dazzling due to too high display brightness in a dark environment can be avoided, the situation that the display screen is not clearly seen due to too low display brightness in a brighter environment can be avoided, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 6, after step S102, the screen brightness adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes step S104 described below.

And S104, restoring the sampling period of the ambient light sensor from the second sampling period to the first sampling period.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the ambient light is sampled at a high frequency and the brightness value of the first frame (i.e., the first ambient light brightness value) is reported, the sampling period of the ambient light sensor may be restored from the second sampling period (e.g., 50 ms) to the first sampling period (e.g., 350 ms).

It should be noted that after the display engine acquires the first frame luminance value data reported by the ambient light sensor through the luminance acquisition module, the bright screen response timeout limit (e.g., 200 ms) may be cancelled.

Optionally, after the brightness value data of the first frame is reported, the brightness acquiring module of the display engine may also periodically (every 350 m) receive the brightness value of the ambient light reported by the ambient light sensor and the timestamp corresponding to the brightness value of the ambient light reported by the ambient light sensor. Correspondingly, the display engine may perform screen brightness adjustment management according to the ambient light brightness value reported periodically and based on a dimming algorithm: for example, to maintain the current brightness, or to dim the screen brightness. The following describes an exemplary method of adjusting brightness after a screen is lit, with reference to the drawings.

Referring to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 7, after step S103, the screen brightness adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes steps S105 to S108 described below.

And S105, the ambient light sensor performs multiple sampling in the first sampling period to obtain a plurality of frames of second ambient light brightness values.

In this case, reporting the lux value once every time the ambient light sensor collects the ambient light brightness lux value; that is, the ambient light sensor performs sampling many times, and reports the sampling many times.

After the first frame of brightness value data is reported, the ambient light sensor samples in a conventional default sampling period, and reports the second ambient light brightness value obtained by collection to the ambient light sensor driver, and further reports to the brightness acquisition module in the display engine of the electronic device. The multi-frame second environment brightness value may refer to brightness value data of a second frame after the first frame brightness value data is reported and brightness value data of other frames reported subsequently.

And S106, judging whether the multi-frame second environment brightness value is within a preset threshold range.

When the second ambient light brightness values of the plurality of frames are all within the preset threshold range, or when the average value of the second ambient light brightness values of the plurality of frames is within the preset threshold range, the following step S107 is continuously executed. Otherwise, the following step S108 is continuously performed.

The preset threshold range includes an upper threshold and a lower threshold, and the value of the preset threshold range may be determined according to actual use requirements. The above-mentioned average value of the second environment brightness values of the multiple frames in the preset threshold range means that the average value of the second environment brightness values of the multiple frames is less than or equal to the upper threshold and greater than or equal to the lower threshold. The fact that the average value of the second environment brightness values of the multiple frames is not within the preset threshold range means that the average value of the second environment brightness values of the multiple frames is larger than the upper threshold or smaller than the lower threshold.

The method and the device for calculating the brightness value of the second environment can further take the maximum value and the minimum value in the multi-frame second environment brightness value, and calculate the average value of the maximum value and the minimum value to serve as the average value of the multi-frame second environment brightness value. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the display screen is lit up according to the first frame luminance value data, the following dimming algorithm may be employed: comparing one or more frames of brightness value data acquired in a first sampling period (for example, 350 ms) with a preset threshold, and deciding whether dimming processing needs to be performed on the brightness of the display screen according to a comparison result: and if the current brightness exceeds the threshold range, dimming is carried out, otherwise, the current brightness is kept and dimming is not carried out. For a detailed description, see steps S107 and S108 described below.

S107, keeping the brightness of the display screen unchanged.

In step S107, when the average value of the second ambient light brightness values of the plurality of frames is within the preset threshold range, this indicates that the external ambient brightness of the electronic device does not change significantly after the screen is turned on, so that the current brightness can be kept unchanged.

And S108, adjusting the brightness of the display screen according to the second ambient brightness values of the plurality of frames.

In step S108, when the second ambient brightness values of the multiple frames are not within the preset threshold range, which indicates that the ambient brightness of the electronic device after the screen is turned on changes significantly, the brightness of the display screen needs to be adjusted to be consistent with the actual ambient brightness.

Illustratively, the ambient light sensor samples the brightness values of a plurality of frames, and performs data analysis on the data of the plurality of frames:

on the one hand, if the multi-frame data falls or rises frame by frame according to a certain threshold, it indicates that the multi-frame data is currently in the dimming process, and in this case, a new dimming target value may not be decided.

On the other hand, after the acquired multi-frame data is stable, if the brightness value of the multi-frame exceeds the preset dimming threshold range, the brightness of the display screen is adjusted according to the brightness value of the multi-frame. Specifically, if the average value of the multi-frame data is lower than the lower threshold, which indicates that the brightness of the external environment where the electronic device is located may be reduced after the electronic device is turned on, the brightness of the display screen may be reduced, i.e., the electronic device is dimmed; if the average value of the data of the plurality of frames is higher than the upper limit of the dimming threshold, which indicates that the brightness of the external environment where the electronic device is located may increase after the screen is turned on, the brightness of the display screen may be turned up, i.e., turned on. As for the adjustment amplitude, the adjustment amplitude can be specifically set according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the application is not limited.

It should be noted that, in the scheme of the present application, through accurate first frame prediction, it can be ensured that the brightness of the display screen after the screen is lit is consistent with the brightness of the actual environment, so that no significant brightness change occurs on the screen after the screen is lit. That is to say, after the screen is lighted, if the external environment luminance that electronic equipment is located does not change, then the dimming algorithm can not trigger and adjust luminance, and screen luminance will remain unchanged, can avoid like this that the screen takes place the bright and dark change that is showing after the bright screen to user experience can be promoted.

In some embodiments, the scheme of the application can ensure that in a dark environment, the brightness of the display screen when being lighted is consistent with the brightness of an actual dark environment, so that the screen does not have obvious brightness change after being lighted (for example, the screen is lightened from being bright and dark).

In some embodiments, through the solution of the present application, it may be ensured that in a brighter environment, the brightness of the display screen when being lighted is consistent with the brightness of an actually brighter environment, so that the screen does not have a significant brightness change after being lighted (for example, the screen changes from dark to bright).

Therefore, compared with the scheme that the ambient light sampling is always carried out by the ambient light sensor at the fixed sampling rate in the prior art, the sampling rate is improved when the leather sheath is detected to be opened from closed, the prediction compensation algorithm is adopted, the brightness value approximate to the actual ambient brightness can be quickly obtained, the brightness when the display screen is bright in the opening process of the leather sheath is consistent with the actual ambient brightness, the problem that the screen is obviously changed in brightness after being bright or the bright screen is obviously delayed can be avoided, the phenomenon that the display screen is too high in display brightness in a dark environment and too dazzling can be avoided, or the phenomenon that the display screen is too low in display brightness and is not clearly seen in a bright environment and the user experience is improved.

A technical architecture corresponding to the screen brightness adjustment method when the display screen is lighted provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below by using fig. 8; in a scene that the display screen is lighted, the Hall sensor, the ambient light sensor and other functional modules perform information interaction, and self-adaptive adjustment of screen brightness is achieved.

It should be noted that, the embodiments of the present application will be discussed based on the following technical architectures. It should be noted that, for convenience of logic description, only the schematic block diagram is used to describe the service logic relationship, and the specific location of the technical architecture where each service is located is not strictly expressed.

As shown in fig. 8, the processor in the electronic device is a multi-core processor, which may include: an Application Processor (AP) processor and a sensor co-processor (SCP) processor. Wherein the user interface and the application program are both run on the AP processor. The SCP processor can assist the AP processor in performing events related to sensors (e.g., ambient light sensor, hall sensor), etc.

It should be noted that only the AP processor and the SCP processor are shown in fig. 8. In practical applications, the multi-core processor may also include other processors. For example, when the electronic device is a mobile phone, the multi-core processor may further include a Baseband (BP) processor that runs mobile phone radio frequency communication control software and is responsible for sending and receiving data. The specific number of processors included in the multi-core processor may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

The AP processor in fig. 8 only shows the content related to the embodiment of the present application, and the implementation of the embodiment of the present application needs to rely on: an application layer (application), a framework layer (framework), a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), a kernel layer (kernel), and a hardware layer (hardware). The frame layer can comprise a power management module, a brightness acquisition module and a sensor service module; the hardware abstraction layer may include an ambient light sensor interface, a hall sensor interface, and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) interface; the hardware layer comprises an OLED device; the inner core layer can comprise an inner core node and an OLED drive, the inner core node is used for storing a light-emitting brightness value of the OLED device, and the OLED drive is used for acquiring the light-emitting brightness value from the inner core node and driving the OLED device to emit light according to the brightness value. It should be noted that various applications exist in the application layer of the AP processor, and are not shown in fig. 8 for simplicity of illustration.

The SCP processor in fig. 8 can be understood as a sensor control center (sensor hub) which can control the sensors and process the data related to the sensors. The implementation of the embodiment of the present application needs to rely on the following steps in the SCP processor: a co-application layer (hub APK), a co-framework layer (hub FWK), a co-driver layer (hub DRV), and a co-hardware layer (hub hardware). The co-application layer comprises an ambient light sensor application and a Hall sensor application; the auxiliary driving layer comprises an ambient light sensor driver and a Hall sensor driver; the co-hardware layer includes an ambient light sensor and a hall sensor. The Hall sensor application can call an interface provided by the Hall sensor drive, and the Hall sensor is triggered to detect whether the leather sheath is opened or closed. The ambient light sensor application may invoke an interface provided by the ambient light sensor driver to trigger the ambient light sensor to collect the ambient light at the first sampling period or the second sampling period.

As shown in fig. 8, the method for adjusting screen brightness when a display screen is lighted according to the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S1 to S19. Accordingly, fig. 9 is a module interaction timing diagram of a screen brightness adjustment method when a display screen is lighted according to the embodiment of the present application.

Step S1, when a Hall sensor in an SCP processor detects that a leather sheath is opened from closed, the Hall sensor reports a Hall far-away event to the Hall sensor drive.

Wherein, the Hall away event refers to the event that the Hall sensor goes from closing to away.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, based on a mapping relationship of a service application scenario, a hall far event may be associated with a bright-screen trigger event.

It can be understood that when the hall sensor in the electronic device is far away from the magnetic element in the holster from contact, that is, when the hall sensor is far away from the closed state, the holster is in the open state, and the hall sensor can sense the action of the holster from the closed state to the open state.

The Hall sensor drive can monitor the state change of the Hall sensor. After the hall sensor driving monitors that the hall sensor moves from closed to far, the step S2 and the step S5 are continuously executed. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution sequence of step S2 and step S5, for example, step S2 may be executed first, and then step S5 may be executed; step S5 may be executed first, and then step S2 may be executed; step S2 and step S5 may also be performed simultaneously.

And S2, the Hall sensor driver sends a message to the ambient light sensor driver, and the message is used for informing the Hall of the distant event.

Wherein the ambient light sensor drive can listen for changes in state of the hall sensor drive. When the ambient light sensor driver monitors a hall far event, the ambient light sensor driver may start prediction of ambient light brightness, that is, trigger the ambient light sensor to perform high-frequency sampling, and the specific prediction mode is as follows in step S3 and step S4.

In some embodiments, the determination of when to initiate prediction of ambient light level may be based on a number of samples and/or time.

For example, in a case where the sampling interval duration is a certain duration, for example, the sampling interval duration is 50ms, the sampling number may be used to calculate the time consumed from the hall far triggering high frequency sampling, for example, if the sampling number is 3 times, 150ms is consumed, and after 150ms from the hall far timing, the prediction of the ambient light brightness may be started.

As another example, the system time T1 may be obtained when the hall is far away, and the system time T2 may be obtained again each time the sampled data arrives, and then it may be determined whether or not the prediction of the ambient light brightness needs to be started based on the time difference T2-T1. For example, when the time difference T2-T1 is greater than or equal to the preset time duration of 200ms, the prediction of the ambient light level may be started.

And S3, the ambient light sensor is driven to issue a brightness acquisition command to the ambient light sensor, and the ambient light sensor is triggered to acquire the ambient light brightness value.

When the ambient light sensor driver monitors that the hall sensor is far away from the event, the ambient light sensor driver adjusts the ambient light sampling period from the first sampling period to a second sampling period (for example, 50 ms), that is, the sampling rate is increased, and a brightness acquisition command is issued to the ambient light sensor to instruct the ambient light sensor to sample at a high-frequency sampling rate.

In specific implementation, after the ambient light sensor driver monitors the hall sensor far event, a new sampling period (for example, 50 ms) may be written into a register corresponding to the ambient light sensor, and a brightness acquisition command is issued to the ambient light sensor to instruct the ambient light sensor to start brightness acquisition. Correspondingly, after receiving a brightness acquisition command issued by the ambient light sensor driver, the ambient light sensor reads the sampling period from the register, and then the ambient light sensor starts ambient light brightness acquisition with the sampling period.

It should be noted that, since the ambient light sensor driver directly receives the hall distant event from the hall sensor driver, the ambient light sensor driver responds to the hall distant event, and can directly perform the ambient light brightness prediction. After the ambient light brightness prediction is started, the ambient light sensor driver receives a first frame command issued by the brightness acquisition module of the display engine, where the first frame command is used to instruct the ambient light sensor driver to report a first frame brightness value.

And S4, responding to a brightness acquisition command, acquiring an ambient light brightness value at a high sampling rate by the ambient light sensor, and reporting the acquired ambient light brightness value to the ambient light sensor for driving.

The ambient light sensor may perform high-frequency sampling at an adjusted high sampling rate (for example, a sampling period is 50 ms) within an effective time (for example, 200 ms), acquire multi-frame luminance value data, and report the data to the ambient light sensor driver.

Further, after the ambient light sensor driver receives the plurality of frames of brightness values, the ambient light sensor driver may calculate an ambient light brightness value according to the plurality of frames of brightness values. For the calculation of the ambient light brightness value, see the above detailed description of the calculation of the ambient light brightness value.

The ambient light brightness value obtained by calculation is used as the brightness value of the first frame when the display screen is lighted, and is subsequently reported to a brightness acquisition module of the display engine by the drive of the ambient light sensor. It is described in advance that when the ambient light sensor driver reports the calculated first frame brightness value, the ambient light sensor driver reports the first frame brightness value to the brightness acquisition module of the display engine only after receiving the first frame command issued by the brightness acquisition module of the display engine, and the specific process is described in the following steps. It should be noted that after the prediction is completed and the predicted brightness value of the first frame is reported to the AP side, the brightness value of the environment light of the subsequent sampling is reported according to the conventional flow, and whether the command of the first frame is received is not considered.

Alternatively, the luminance value may be expressed in lux (lux) as a unit of illuminance. For example, the luminance values may be expressed in context as lux values or lux data.

It is understood that the above steps S2-S4 illustrate the first frame luminance value prediction process: after the ambient light sensor drive monitors a Hall far-away event, the ambient light sensor drive indicates the ambient light sensor to collect an ambient light brightness value, and a first frame brightness value when the display screen is lightened is predicted according to the collected ambient light brightness value.

And S5, the Hall sensor drive reports the Hall far-away event to the Hall sensor application.

And S6, the Hall sensor application reports the Hall far event to a Hall sensor interface in the AP processor.

And S7, reporting the Hall far-away event to the power management module by the Hall sensor interface through the sensor service module.

And S8, the power supply management module sends the screen-on event to a brightness acquisition module of the display engine to indicate the brightness acquisition module to acquire the brightness value of the first frame.

The power management module can monitor the state change of the Hall sensor. On one hand, when the power management module monitors a hall far-away event, the power management module can judge the opening action of the leather sheath, trigger a screen-lighting event and transmit the screen-lighting event to a brightness acquisition module of the display engine, and the brightness acquisition module can also be called an automatic dimming module. This is the bright screen scene to which the scheme of the present application relates. On the other hand, when the power management module monitors an event that the Hall sensor is closed from far away, the power management module can judge the action of closing the leather sheath, trigger the display screen to turn off the screen, transmit the screen turn-off event to the display engine, and clear the state.

And S9, the brightness acquisition module issues a batch processing (batch) command to the ambient light sensor interface through the sensor service module, wherein the batch command is used for indicating to acquire the brightness value of the first frame.

The brightness acquiring module issues a batch command (the batch command may also be referred to as a batch event or a first frame command) to the ambient light sensor driver on the SCP side, so as to acquire a first frame brightness value. The specific batch command issuing process refers to the description of step S9-step S12.

Optionally, the brightness obtaining module starts timing when the brightness obtaining module issues the batch command, and if the brightness obtaining module obtains the first frame brightness value within the effective time, the first frame brightness value may be used as the brightness value when the display screen is bright.

Step S10, the ambient light sensor interface notifies the ambient light sensor application in the SCP processor of the batch command.

Step S11, the ambient light sensor application notifies the ambient light sensor drive of the batch command.

And S12, after the ambient light sensor drive monitors the batch command, the ambient light sensor reports the predicted brightness value of the first frame to the ambient light sensor application.

It can be understood that, as described above, the brightness value of the first frame obtained by the driving of the ambient light sensor needs to be reported timely and accurately, for the following reasons: if the brightness value of the first frame is not reported timely, the display screen is lighted for obvious delay after the leather sheath is opened by the user, and the user experience is influenced. If the report of the brightness value of the first frame is inaccurate, the problem of screen flashing of the display screen which is dark first and then bright can occur in the leather sheath mode, and the influence on the user experience is great.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the application provides a corresponding solution: when the action of opening the leather sheath by a user is detected, the sampling rate of the ambient light sensor is immediately triggered to be increased, the ambient light sensor performs high-frequency sampling within effective time to obtain multi-frame brightness value data, and the first-frame brightness value is calculated according to the multi-frame brightness value data, so that the prompt reporting of the first-frame brightness value can be ensured, and the reporting is accurate.

Referring again to fig. 8 and 9, in the embodiment of the present application, the ambient light sensor driver in the SCP processor not only listens for state changes of the hall sensor driver, but also listens for batch commands synchronously. On one hand, when the ambient light sensor drives and monitors that the Hall sensor is far away from the Hall sensor from closing, the prediction of the ambient light brightness value is started; on the other hand, after the ambient light sensor driver receives the batch command, if the brightness value prediction of the first frame in the period is completed, the ambient light sensor driver may respond to the batch command, and the ambient light sensor driver may directly report the predicted brightness value of the first frame to the brightness acquisition module.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, after the ambient light sensor driver listens to the batch command, if the prediction is not completed, the brightness value of the first frame is not returned before the prediction is not completed. Specifically, when the ambient light sensor driver receives the batch command, if the ambient light sensor driver is in the high-frequency sampling process, the ambient light sensor driver may report the predicted first frame brightness value to the brightness acquisition module after the prediction of the first frame brightness value is completed.

It should be noted that, under the condition that the luminance obtaining module has the valid time for waiting for the luminance value of the first frame, the ambient light sensor driver may return the luminance value of the first frame to the luminance obtaining module before the valid time is overtime, so as to ensure the real-time validity of the luminance value of the first frame.

Further, after the ambient light is sampled by high frequency and the brightness value of the first frame is reported, the sampling period of the ambient light sensor may be restored from the high frequency sampling period to a default sampling period (e.g., 350 ms).

For a specific process of reporting the brightness value of the first frame, reference is made to the following description of step S13 and step S14.

And S13, reporting the received brightness value of the first frame to an ambient light sensor interface by the ambient light sensor application.

And S14, reporting the brightness value of the first frame to a brightness acquisition module through an ambient light sensor interface through sensor service.

Through the steps S9 to S14, the brightness obtaining module obtains the brightness value of the first frame when the display screen is lighted.

And S15, the brightness acquisition module sends the received brightness value of the first frame to the power management module.

In the embodiment of the application, the brightness obtaining module obtains the brightness value of the first frame, and then transmits the brightness value of the first frame to the power management module, and the brightness value can represent the actual environment brightness, so that the power management module can adopt the brightness value to set the brightness corresponding to the display screen, so as to ensure that the display screen is lightened according to the brightness consistent with the actual environment brightness, and avoid that a user feels that the display screen is changed in brightness or feels that the display screen is too dull, thereby improving the user experience.

The process of how to adjust the screen point brightness according to the brightness value of the first frame refers to the description of step S18 to step S21.

And S16, the power management module sends the received brightness value of the first frame to an OLED interface.

And S17, storing the received first frame brightness value to the kernel node by the OLED interface.

And S18, the OLED driver acquires the brightness value of the first frame from the kernel node.

In actual implementation, the OLED driver may monitor whether data stored in the core node changes, and after monitoring that the data in the core node changes, obtain currently stored data, that is, a first frame brightness value, from the core node, where the first frame brightness value is used to adjust the brightness of the display screen.

And S19, the OLED drive sends the acquired first frame brightness value to the display subsystem, the display subsystem lights the display screen, and the brightness value of the display screen is set as the first frame brightness value.

Through the steps S17 to S21, after the power management module obtains the brightness value of the first frame, the brightness of the electronic device when the display screen is lighted may be set, so that the brightness of the display screen is consistent with the brightness of the environment, thereby avoiding a phenomenon of significant brightness change of the screen after the screen is lighted or a problem that the screen is obviously delayed, and thus improving user experience.

The above describes the flow of the method for adjusting the screen brightness when the display screen is lighted, with reference to a schematic diagram of a technical architecture, and a possible implementation manner of the ambient light brightness prediction algorithm provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to fig. 10 based on the above technical architecture.

Fig. 10 is a flow chart of a business algorithm of an ambient light prediction algorithm. As shown in fig. 10, the ambient light brightness prediction algorithm provided in the embodiment of the present application includes steps S201 to S212 described below.

S201, the ambient light sensor drives and monitors the Hall event from closing to far.

S202, recording a time stamp T when the Hall starts to get away ₀ 。

At S203, the ambient light sensor drive is adjusted to a high sampling rate (e.g., sampling period t =50 ms).

Illustratively, assuming that the ambient light sensor driver initially sets the ambient light sampling period to 350ms, when the ambient light sensor driver listens for a hall close event, the ambient light sensor driver adjusts the ambient light sampling period from 350ms to 50ms.

In particular implementations, the ambient light sensor driver may write an updated sampling period (e.g., 50 ms) into a register corresponding to the ambient light sensor, and the ambient light sensor may then read the sampling period from the register.

And S204, driving the ambient light sensor to sample according to a high sampling rate by the ambient light sensor, and starting interruption after each sampling is finished.

If the start is interrupted, the current sampling is stopped, and the following steps S205 and S206 are executed, and after the execution is completed, if the condition in S206 is not satisfied, the ambient light sensor may continue to sample at the high sampling rate.

S205, increasing the sampling count cnt; updating the time stamp T of each interrupt _B And the lux value L obtained by sampling _B (ii) a Updating the maximum sampled lux value L _max 。

S206, judging whether the cnt value is more than or equal to the preset times or T _B -T ₀ Whether it is greater than or equal to a preset time period.

The preset duration may be an effective duration, for example, 200ms.

The preset number may be a sampling number allowed by the bright screen response timeout. For example, when the sampling period is 50ms, 4 samples can be completed within 200ms of the valid time, i.e., the number of samples allowed by the time-out of the bright screen response is 4.

In some embodiments, the determination may be made by the number of samplings: if the cnt value is greater than or equal to the predetermined number of times, the following step S207 is continuously performed; if the cnt value is less than the predetermined number of times, the process returns to the step S204.

In some embodiments, the determination may be made by sampling time: if T _B -T ₀ If the duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, the following step S207 is continuously executed; if T _B -T ₀ If the time length is less than the preset time length, the step S204 is executed again.

S207, judging the latest sample L _B Whether greater than last sample L _A 。

If the latest sample L _B Greater than last sample L _A Then, the following step S209 is continuously executed. If the latest sample L _B Less than or equal to the last sample L _A Then, the process proceeds to step S208 described below.

S208, finally reporting the brightness value y = L _max 。

After S208, steps S211 and S212 described below are continuously performed.

S209, calculating a linear slope value K = (L) _B -L _A )/((T _B -T _A ) T) and calculating the theoretical number of samples n = (T) _B -T ₀ )/t。

Wherein L is _B Representing the latest sampled luminance value, L _A Representing the last sampled luminance value, T _B Representing the timestamp, T, corresponding to the latest sampled luminance value _A Representing the timestamp corresponding to the last sampled luminance value.

S210, linearly predicting an ambient light brightness value y = K (m-n) + L _B And m is the theoretical upper limit number of times from high-frequency sampling to stable sampling.

Wherein, LB is used as a reference value of prediction, K (m-n) is used as a predicted increment, and the sum of the reference value and the increment is used as the brightness value of the linear prediction environment light.

S211, the ambient light sensor driving is restored to the normal sampling rate (e.g., the sampling period is 350 ms).

And S212, the ambient light sensor is driven to report the brightness prediction result value y of the first frame to the AP side.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, when it is determined that any one of the sampling time and the sampling frequency is out of limit, the start prediction may be determined, and the reliability of the luminance prediction may be improved.

Meanwhile, when the final result predicted according to the maximum value is lower than a certain brightness threshold (for example, lower than 10 lux), it indicates that the environment where the mobile phone is located is dark. In this case, the maximum value of the plurality of sampling brightness values may not be selected as the first frame data to be reported; optionally, the median lux of the lux sampling values of the last several frames can be selected as the first frame data of the report.

It should be further noted that, in the above embodiment, when calculating the slope, the difference between the brightness values of adjacent samples is divided by the theoretical number of samples of adjacent time stamps. It is considered that in the saturation gain (gain) scenario, the time stamp of the adjacent sampled luminance value may not be exactly incremented by the sampling period, since the value of the saturation gain may be discarded and not used. For example, in strong sunlight, a saturated tone gain scenario may be triggered when the holster is opened from a snap-fit.

In the embodiment of the present application, a linear prediction algorithm is exemplarily used, and in practical implementation, other non-linear prediction algorithms, such as a unitary polynomial prediction algorithm, may also be used according to adjacent sampling points. It should be understood that the above linear prediction algorithm is only an example, and the prediction algorithm is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Compared with the prior art, the sampling rate is fixed, when the electronic equipment detects that the leather sheath is opened from closed, the sampling rate is improved, the prediction compensation algorithm is adopted, the brightness value approximate to the actual environment brightness can be quickly acquired, the brightness when the display screen is bright in the opening process of the leather sheath is consistent with the actual environment brightness, the problem that the bright and dark change phenomenon or the bright screen is obviously delayed after the bright screen occurs to the screen can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned solution of the present application may be applied to an under-screen ambient light sensor, and may also be applied to a non-under-screen ambient light sensor, and the relative position of the ambient light sensor with respect to the display screen is described below with reference to fig. 11 and 12.

Fig. 11 is a side position relationship diagram of a display screen and an ambient light sensor in an electronic device. The display screen of the electronic equipment comprises from top to bottom: glass apron (printing opacity), display module assembly and protection pad pasting, wherein, the upper and lower all be used for showing the position relation when electronic equipment's display screen upwards places here. The leather sheath is positioned above the display screen. Because the ambient light sensor need gather the ambient light of the top of electronic equipment's display screen, consequently, can dig some with the display module assembly in the display screen, ambient light sensor is placed to this part, is equivalent to ambient light sensor and places the below of the glass apron in the display screen in, is located the same layer with the display module assembly. It should be noted that the detection direction of the ambient light sensor coincides with the orientation of the display screen in the electronic device, where the orientation of the display screen in the electronic device is upward in fig. 11.

Fig. 12 is another arrangement of an ambient light sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. And transferring the ambient light sensor from the lower part of the glass cover plate to the lower part of the OLED screen display module. This arrangement of the ambient light sensor does not sacrifice the display area. Because the OLED screen is a self-luminous display screen, when the OLED screen displays an image, the ambient light sensor positioned below the OLED screen not only collects real ambient light from the outside, but also can collect light corresponding to the image displayed by the OLED screen. Therefore, the ambient light collected by the ambient light sensor includes light emitted by the display screen and actual ambient light from the outside. Under the bright screen scene of display screen, can get rid of the ambient light that the display screen sent with the ambient light of ambient light sensor collection, obtain external true ambient light, guarantee that luminance when the bright screen of display screen is unanimous with actual environment luminance, just so can reach better visual effect, promote user experience.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, if the electronic device is provided with not only the front ambient light sensor but also the rear ambient light sensor, the front ambient light sensor and the rear ambient light sensor may be used in combination to acquire the actual ambient light brightness value data. Specifically, can be based on the luminance value that rearmounted ambient light sensor gathered, carry out appropriate compensation or correction to the luminance value that leading ambient light sensor gathered, in order to promote the accuracy of measuring actual ambient light luminance value, and then luminance when guaranteeing the display screen bright screen keeps unanimous with actual ambient light luminance, avoid behind bright screen the screen to take place the obvious light and shade change phenomenon or bright screen has obvious delayed problem, consequently can also avoid the display screen too high and too dazzling because of showing luminance in darker environment, or, avoid in brighter environment the display screen because show luminance too low and see unclear, thereby promote user experience.

It should be noted that the first frame brightness algorithm provided by the application is not only suitable for predicting the first frame brightness of a leather case opening scene, but also can be used for predicting the first frame brightness of other special scenes, for example, when a mobile phone is close to the ear to shield the ambient light due to call receiving and call making, the ambient light sampling value lux is lower, when the mobile phone is taken away from the ear, the screen needs to be bright due to the fact that the light is close to the ear, the first frame brightness value lux acquired at the moment is possibly lower due to previous shielding, and the problem that the probability is firstly dark and then bright under the scene occurs. In this case, when the brightness of the first frame is predicted, the condition that the SCP side receives the first frame command or receives the screen-on event as the trigger prediction can be adopted, and the corresponding prediction duration and the sampling frequency threshold are synchronously and dynamically updated, so that the problem of inaccurate report of the first frame in the scene can be solved.

In this embodiment of the application, the first frame prediction mechanism may further use a hall far event, a first frame command, a screen-up event, and a stored previous frame brightness value lux as trigger conditions. In practical implementation, when the luminance value lux of the previous frame is greater than a certain value, it is indicated that the ambient light is not blocked, and the steps of normal sampling and reporting are directly performed without performing luminance prediction. For another example, any one of the hall far event, the first frame command and the screen-on event may be used as a trigger condition for the first frame prediction, and accordingly when the prediction duration or the sampling count threshold satisfies the condition, the first frame brightness value lux starts to be predicted, and the predicted final result is reported.

It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, "greater than" may be replaced by "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" may be replaced by "less than", or "greater than or equal to" may be replaced by "greater than" and "less than" may be replaced by "less than or equal to".
