[0004] 因此針對可攜式電子裝置中使用率最高的零組件之液晶 顯示器面板進行省電模式設定。該傳統液晶顯示器面板 的省電模式,如第一圖所示,當電子裝置内系統啟動時 ,進入步驟slOO,判斷是否觸碰任意鍵。若是判斷未觸 碰任意鍵,進入步驟si 02,使電子裝置内部系統進入省 電模式,而關閉螢幕背光單元。若判斷觸碰任意鍵,則 進入步驟sl04,為操作模式,該螢幕背光單元持續點亮 。接著進入步驟si06,以判斷電子裝置的間置時間是否 超過門檻值;若是判斷未超過門檻值時,則回至步驟 si04中,該螢幕背光單元持續被點亮;若是判斷間置時 間超過門檻值時,則進入步驟si 02,令電子裝置内部系 統進入省電模式,以達到省電之目的。當傳統的電子裝 置進入關閉螢幕背光之省電模式後,使用者必須按任意 鍵或是觸控螢幕方能再開啟螢幕背光燈泡,這時使用者 所按的鍵或是觸控的點均可能會導致一錯誤的誤輸入, 造成使用上非常大的困擾。 [0005] 另,本國專利案之證書號1273818中揭露出一種自動調整 背光源亮度的方法,此方法利用數位相機模組偵測外界 環境的亮度,以取得周遭照明度值,並依據該值自動調 整顯示模組之背光源亮度,以達到節省行動裝置電力之 09614649#單编號 A〇101 第4頁/共19頁 1013085651-0 1364975 1101:年03月〇y日 目的。該專利之重點在於當使用者操作一行動裝置時, 此裝置之數位相機模組會不斷地偵測外界環境的亮度-, 以取得照明度值來自動調整背光源亮度。然而當使用者 專心閱讀裝置上之資訊,且超過關閉螢幕背光燈泡之時 間而無任何動作時,背光燈泡就會自行關閉,此時使用 者必須按任意鍵或觸控螢幕才能再將背光燈泡打開,這 樣一來就會干擾到使用者的閱讀行為;而持續地開啟相 機模組以探測外界環境亮度亦會造成相機模組耗電之缺 點。[0004] Therefore, the power saving mode setting is performed for the liquid crystal display panel of the component that has the highest usage rate in the portable electronic device. The power saving mode of the conventional liquid crystal display panel, as shown in the first figure, when the system in the electronic device is activated, proceeds to step s100 to determine whether to touch any key. If it is judged that the arbitrary key is not touched, the process proceeds to step si 02 to cause the internal system of the electronic device to enter the power saving mode, and the screen backlight unit is turned off. If it is judged that any key is touched, the process proceeds to step sl04, and in the operation mode, the screen backlight unit is continuously lit. Then, the process proceeds to step si06 to determine whether the interim time of the electronic device exceeds the threshold value; if it is determined that the threshold value is not exceeded, then the process returns to step si04, the backlight unit of the screen is continuously illuminated; if the intervening time exceeds the threshold value Then, the process proceeds to step si 02, and the internal system of the electronic device enters the power saving mode to achieve the purpose of power saving. When the traditional electronic device enters the power-saving mode of turning off the backlight, the user must press any key or touch screen to turn on the backlight of the screen. At this time, the button or the touch point of the user may be Leading to a wrong input, causing a very large problem. [0005] In addition, a method for automatically adjusting the brightness of a backlight is disclosed in the national patent certificate No. 1273818. The method uses a digital camera module to detect the brightness of the external environment to obtain the ambient illumination value, and automatically according to the value. Adjust the brightness of the backlight of the display module to save the power of the mobile device. 09614649# Single No. A〇101 Page 4/19 pages 1013085651-0 1364975 1101: The purpose of the year of March 〇y. The focus of this patent is that when a user operates a mobile device, the digital camera module of the device continuously detects the brightness of the external environment - to obtain the illumination value to automatically adjust the brightness of the backlight. However, when the user concentrates on reading the information on the device and does not have any action beyond the time when the backlight is turned off, the backlight will turn off by itself, and the user must press any key or touch screen to turn the backlight on again. This will interfere with the user's reading behavior. Continuously turning on the camera module to detect the brightness of the external environment will also cause the camera module to consume power.

[0006] 由此可知為達到省電目的’目前市面上可攜式電子裝置 幾乎都會設定超過間置時間門檻值,而蹯閉榮幕背光燈 泡之時間,這對於正在使用該裝置的使用者來說是一種 缺點,如何解決此問.題乃是本發明之主要課題。 【發明内容】 [0007] 本發明有鑑於傳統缺失,提出一種新技術在電子裝置的 間置時間若是超過了該門檻值’使用者仍無回應,則啟 動電子裝置上的影像擷取單元’以捕捉位於影像擷取單 元前方的一個影像’透過影像來判斷螢幕之榮幕背光單 元是否持續點亮或關閉。 [0008] 為達到上述之目的’本發明提供一應用於可攜式電子穿 置之自動化控制螢幕背光源開關裝置及方法,當電子裝 置的系統啟動時,若該微處理單元判斷未觸碰任意鍵, 則該裝置進入省電模式,且關閉螢幕背光單元。若是該 微處理單元判斷觸碰任意鍵,則進入操作模式,使該榮 幕背光單元點亮。隨後系統再次判斷該裝置的閒置時間 1013085651-0 09_户單煸號A〇101 1364975[0006] It can be seen that in order to achieve the purpose of power saving, the current portable electronic devices on the market almost always set the threshold value of the intervening time, and the time of closing the backlight to the backlight, which is for the user who is using the device. It is said that it is a shortcoming, and how to solve this problem is the main subject of the present invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] In view of the conventional deficiencies, the present invention proposes a new technology that if the interim time of the electronic device exceeds the threshold value, the user still does not respond, then activates the image capturing unit on the electronic device.

March 07, the shuttle is replacing the page whether the threshold value is exceeded; if it is judged that the threshold value is not exceeded, the backlight unit of the screen is continuously illuminated. If it is determined that the idle time exceeds the threshold value, the image capturing unit is activated to capture an image located in front of the image capturing unit. Then, the captured image is sent to the micro processing unit inside the electronic device, and then sent to the face detection technology unit to determine whether there is a user's face. If it is determined that the image has a face, the electronic The screen backlight unit of the device's screen will remain lit. If it is determined that no face is present in the image, the system can enter the power saving mode to turn off the screen backlight unit of the screen to reduce power consumption. [Embodiment] The technical content and detailed description of the present invention will now be described with reference to the following drawings: Please refer to the second figure, which is a block diagram of a backlight on or off switching control circuit of the screen of the electronic device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the backlight on/off switching control circuit of the screen of the electronic device of the present invention comprises: a micro processing unit 24, an image capturing unit 23, a face detecting technology unit 25 and a screen backlight unit. 26. The micro-processing unit 24 is electrically connected to the image capturing unit 23, the face detecting technology unit 25, and the screen backlight unit 26, and is used to calculate the image signal sent by the image capturing unit 23. After the face detection technology unit 25 compares, it is determined whether to continuously drive the screen backlight unit 26, and the time between the electronic devices (not shown) is counted through a counter (not shown) inside the micro processing unit 24. The image capturing unit 23 is electrically connected to the micro processing unit 24 for use. The image signal of the face. In the figure, the image 撷A0101 is 6th/19 pages 1013085651-0 1364975 [F〇l-Year 03 is a camera module, a camera or a network camera [0013] The face detection technology unit 25 is a read only memory (R〇M), a random access memory (RAM), and an extended memory. The face detection technology unit 25 is electrically coupled to the micro processing unit 24, and the face detection technology unit 25 is configured to store a facial feature algorithm. The facial feature algorithm can be divided into the following four types: Neura 1 network, Color-based, Rul e-based approach, and El 1 ipticai edge. . Among them, this kind of neural network algorithm must first provide information for training', and the detection ability is also related to the quality and quantity of training materials. The color basic algorithm is to collect human skin color in a certain range of regions in the color space, and to calculate the skin color to establish a skin color distribution model for identification, which has the advantages of fast processing speed and detection. The result is not affected by changes in face posture. The rule-based algorithm uses some features of the human face to judge the presence of the face, for example, assuming that the color of the face is brighter than the color above the face, which is for a face with a lighter and lighter skin tone. Detection is fast and effective, but it is difficult to judge the face with dark head and dark skin. Therefore, the advantage of this method is that it can customize the rules and be more flexible. However, the situation outside the rules is difficult to discriminate. The elliptical edge algorithm assumes that the faces are all approximately elliptical, and that there is a distinct edge line between the face and the background. This method is simple and fast. [14] The screen backlight unit 26 is electrically connected to the micro processing unit 24 and is located on the side of the screen of the electronic device.
