For example, the image processing module 440 may add a layer related to transparency and adjust the brightness of the output image by adjusting the alpha of the corresponding layer. Meanwhile, the image processing module 440 may adjust the brightness of the output content by adjusting the alpha of the content itself. Since the layer becomes opaque when the alpha is 0%, the image processing module 440 may completely block the light of the LCD or OLED, and may output a black screen on the display. Since the layer becomes completely transparent when the alpha is 100%, the image processing module 440 can completely pass the light of the LCD or OLED, and output a screen with the maximum brightness on the display.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image processing module 440 may process an image using an image processing filter. For example, brightness of an image output through an image processing filter such as blur, dissolve, noise, and liquidify may be adjusted.

That is, by applying at least one image processing technique, the brightness of the output image may be adjusted to be lower than the brightness of the image before the image processing technique is applied, thereby reducing glare of the user of the electronic device 101 .

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image processing module 440 may process an image using a blur technique. The image processing module 440 may adjust the brightness of the output image by adjusting the degree of blur.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image processing module 440 may adjust the brightness of the entire area of the image displayed on the display. For example, when executing the web browser screen, the image processing module 440 may determine that the background screen of the web browser is filled with white based on at least one of the operation state analysis information and the operation state change information. Accordingly, the brightness of the entire display area may be reduced by using alpha blending or blur.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the image processing module 440 may adjust the brightness of a partial region of an image displayed on the display. For example, the image processing module 440 may determine that the brightness of a specific area of the application execution screen is higher than that of other areas based on at least one of the operation state analysis information and the operation state change information.

5A to 5B are diagrams illustrating a method of adjusting brightness in response to time of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 adjusts at least one of the maximum brightness arrival time 530 , the initial brightness 540 , the maximum brightness 550 , and the brightness curve 560 to increase the brightness of the image. can be adjusted

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 may adjust the user's glare by adjusting the maximum brightness arrival time 530 . The maximum brightness reaching time 530 is the difference between T1 510 and T2 520 , and may mean the time required to reach the maximum brightness 550 from the initial brightness 540 . As the maximum brightness reaching time 530 of the electronic device 101 increases, the brightness of the display gradually increases, so that unpleasant glare felt by the user can be reduced.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 may adjust the user's glare by adjusting the initial brightness 540 or the maximum brightness 550 . The electronic device 101 may dynamically adjust the initial brightness 540 or the maximum brightness 550 based on external environment information. For example, the electronic device 101 may set a level of brightness capable of preventing dynamic glare in a low-light environment as the initial brightness 540, and set a level of brightness capable of preventing unpleasant glare in a low-light environment. It can be set to the maximum brightness (550). That is, even if it is not instantaneous glare, a screen that is too bright compared to the external environment may cause inconvenience to the user by itself, so the maximum brightness 550 also needs to be adjusted. Meanwhile, the electronic device 101 may set the initial brightness 540 or the maximum brightness 550 to a fixed value regardless of external environment information.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 may adjust the user's glare by adjusting the brightness curve 560 . When increasing the brightness from the initial brightness 540 to the maximum brightness 550 , the electronic device 101 may increase the brightness exponentially rather than linearly. For example, when the brightness of the display is increased exponentially, it is more efficient to prevent glare from the user because the brightness can be kept relatively low until the maximum brightness 550 is reached, compared to when the brightness is increased linearly. can

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when increasing the brightness from the initial brightness 540 to the maximum brightness 550 , the electronic device 101 continuously increases the brightness or discretely increases the brightness. It can also be increased (eg in the form of an ascending step).

Also, the electronic device 101 may adjust the brightness of the full screen or partial screen in response to switching to the full screen or partial screen displayed relatively brighter than the currently displayed full screen or partial screen. For example, the electronic device 101 may detect a web browser execution operation of the user at T3 571 . In general, when a web browser is executed, a white background is displayed first, but even with the same brightness, a white background may dazzle the user. Accordingly, the electronic device 101 may adjust the brightness from the maximum brightness 550 to the intermediate brightness 580 in order to minimize the user's glare. The electronic device 101 may restore the display brightness of the web browser to an original state from T5 ( 575 ) to T6 ( 577 ) when the user adapts to the instantaneous brightness change after a certain period of time has elapsed. Of course, the electronic device 101 may continuously maintain the brightness of the web browser at the medium brightness 580 . Here, when the time interval between T3 ( 571 ) and T4 ( 573 ) is narrower than the time interval between T5 ( 575 ) and T6 ( 577 ), the relatively bright full screen or partial screen faster to prevent glare of the user This is because the brightness of the screen needs to be reduced rapidly, and the change in brightness from the full screen or partial screen to the maximum brightness is gradually changed so that the user cannot detect it after the user has adapted to the glare.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 may adjust the overall brightness of the image output to the display so that the user does not feel dynamic glare. For example, referring to 610 , it can be seen that the image is darker than that of 620 . For example, in the case of switching to the home screen through unlocking, the electronic device 101 may adjust the transparency of the home screen in order to eliminate the user's dynamic glare. That is, referring to 610 , the electronic device 101 may display a dark initial brightness by adjusting the transparency of the layer. Thereafter, since the user's eyes adapt to the brightness of the display over time, the electronic device 101 may increase the transparency to restore the brightness such as 620 .

7 is a diagram illustrating a method of adjusting a partial brightness of an image displayed on a display of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to prevent the user from feeling dynamic glare, the electronic device 101 may adjust the brightness of a portion of an image output to a display having a relatively high brightness contrast ratio. For example, referring to 710 , the electronic device 101 may determine that the search interface 720 is brighter than the surrounding image. Accordingly, the electronic device 101 may darken the initial brightness of the search interface 720 by adjusting the transparency of the layer corresponding to the search interface 720 . Thereafter, since the user's eyes adapt to the brightness of the display over time, the electronic device 101 may increase the transparency of the search interface 720 to restore the brightness such as 740 .
