Abstract

In a display screen brightness adjustment method, vision information of a user is obtained. A nearest distance, a longest distance, and an optimal distance between the user and the display screen are determined. An actual distance between the user and the display screen is detected. The actual distance is compared to the nearest distance, the longest distance, and the optimal distance. Then a brightness value of the display screen is calculated. Accordingly, brightness of the display screen is adjusted.

Claims

1. A method for adjusting brightness of a display screen executable by at least one processor of a computing device, the method comprising:

obtaining vision information of a user;

determining a nearest distance, a longest distance, and an optimal distance between the user and the display screen;

detecting an actual distance between the user and the display screen;

comparing the actual distance to the nearest distance, the longest distance, and the optimal distance;

calculating a brightness value of the display screen according to the comparison result; and

adjusting brightness of the display screen according to the calculated brightness value.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the vision information of a user comprises viewing distance of left eye VL and viewing distance of right eye VR, the nearest distance is determined according to a formula LO=1/[(VL+VR)/2], the longest distance is determined according to a formula LN=4/[(VL+VR)/2], and the optimal distance is determined according to a formula LB=(LO+LN)/2.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising shutting down the display screen when the actual distance is longer than the longest distance.

4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising shutting down the display screen when the actual distance is nearer than the nearest distance.

5. The method according to claim 2, further comprising calculating the brightness value of display screen according to a formula P=PB+[(L−

LB)/Lt] *Pt, when the actual distance is near than the longest distance, and longer than the nearest distance, Lt, Pt are parameters predefined to adjust brightness of the display screen, PB is the brightness of the display screen when the display screen has an optimal display effect to the user, and L is the actual distance.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating a relationship sheet recording visions of users and brightness of the display screen when the display screen has an optimal display effect to each of the users.

7. An electronic device, comprising:

a display screen;

at least one processor; and

a storage device that stores one or more programs which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to;

obtain vision information of a user;

determine a nearest distance, a longest distance, and an optimal distance between the user and the display screen;

detect an actual distance between the user and the display screen;

compare the actual distance to the nearest distance, the longest distance, and the optimal distance;

calculate a brightness value of the display screen according to the comparison result; and

adjust brightness of the display screen according to the calculated brightness value.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the vision information of a user comprises viewing distance of left eye VL and viewing distance of right eye VR the nearest distance is determined according to a formula LO=1/[(VL+VR)/2], the longest distance is determined according to a formula LN=4/[(VL+VR)/2], and the optimal distance is determined according to a formula LB=(LO+LN)/2.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the display screen is shut down when the actual distance is longer than the longest distance.
