Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for measuring illuminance of a portable terminal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for measuring illuminance of a portable terminal for measuring illuminance of a surrounding environment using a display unit.
In recent years, not only portable terminals (camera phones) equipped with cameras but also video telephones have been widely used. In the case of a camera phone, illuminance (amount of light and light brightness) has a decisive influence on taking pictures as well as a camera.
In general, the camera module used in the portable terminal has to be made smaller than the general camera, so the picture quality is not good, especially in the dark.
In order to solve this problem, portable terminals and video telephones with a built-in illuminance sensor (or illuminance sensor) are emerging.
The illuminance sensor is attached to a predetermined area of the photographing apparatus of the mobile phone terminal to detect illuminance around the subject, and measure illuminance around the subject. Accordingly, when illumination is required, light is supplied to the subject by using a light emitting diode. give.
It detects the illumination required for shooting and illuminates the subject with the appropriate illumination to deliver clear images even in dark places.
Also, in recent years, the eyesight of students, office workers, and the like has deteriorated a lot, and it is very important that the brightness or illuminance of light such as a fluorescent lamp or a stand in a school, home, or workplace is very important.
However, such a conventional portable terminal automatically operates the illuminance sensor only when the camera is operated, and in general, the illuminance of the fluorescent lamp, the stand, the incandescent lamp, etc. cannot be measured according to the needs of the user. Had to measure
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for measuring illuminance of a portable terminal, and to provide an apparatus and method for measuring illuminance of a portable terminal for measuring illuminance of a surrounding environment using a display unit.
An illuminance measuring apparatus of a portable terminal for achieving the above object comprises: a display unit comprising a semi-transmissive LCD including a backlight LED and a reflecting plate; In the illuminance measurement mode, if the brightness value of the backlight LED light B is greater than the brightness value of the external light A reflected through the reflector, the surface roughness value of the display unit corresponding to the current amount of the backlight LED light B is carried. It characterized in that it comprises a control unit for controlling to extract to the illuminance value of the place where the terminal is located.
In addition, a method of measuring illuminance of a portable terminal for achieving the above object is to compare the brightness value of the backlight LED light A of the display unit with the brightness value of the external light B reflected through the reflector of the display unit in the illuminance measurement mode. Process; If the brightness value of the backlight LED light (A) is greater than the brightness value of the external light (B), measuring a current amount of the backlight LED light; And extracting surface roughness values of the display unit corresponding to the measured amount of current of the backlight LED light.
That is, as described above, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for measuring illuminance of a mobile terminal using the display unit to measure illuminance of the surrounding environment, whereby the camera flash can be automatically adjusted by using the illuminance of the surrounding environment. It recommends the brightness of light recommended for reading / detailed work, and it is effective for the user to find out what kind of work he / she is suitable for.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same components in the figures represent the same numerals wherever possible.
