Selective reduction of blue light in a display frame
First Claim
1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen, comprising:
- entering into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode;
determining, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules, wherein one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, wherein the application-specific information comprises information that identifies the specific application contributing the image data;
wherein the one or more RBL rules of the set of RBL rules are based upon one or more of the application-specific information and content-specific information;
wherein the content-specific information includes one or more of a type, priority and prominence of content in the at least a portion of the display frame;
wherein the content-specific information indicates that the image data in the at least a portion of the display frame has a priority that is above a priority threshold,wherein the at least one RBL rule permits a level of blue light that is above a default blue light level defined by the RBL mode in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the priority determination;
selectively reducing the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determining; and
sending the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen enters into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode. The UE determines, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules that is based upon one or more of (i) application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, and (ii) content-specific information that characterizes the image data in the portion of the display frame. The UE selectively reduces the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determining. The UE sends the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.
