Content Dependent Brightness Management System

The patent application describes a system and method for controlling brightness on a display based on image content or other inputs, integrating both slow and fast control operations to manage brightness effectively.

The dual-control system combines shorter-term (fast control) and longer-term (slow control) brightness adjustment operations.
This allows the electronic device to quickly respond to high luminance and brightness situations that may cause damage to the display or image artifacts.
Responding quickly to high consumption situations can prevent damage or upset to ongoing processes.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various display systems, such as televisions, monitors, smartphones, and tablets, to enhance image quality and prevent damage from high luminance situations.

Problems Solved

The system addresses issues related to burn-in, image artifacts, and other damage caused by high luminance and brightness situations on displays.

Benefits

- Improved image quality - Prevention of display damage - Quick response to high luminance situations

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be utilized in consumer electronics, digital signage, medical displays, and automotive displays to improve performance and longevity.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing brightness control systems in display devices that do not integrate both slow and fast control operations for effective brightness management.

Unanswered Questions

How does the dual-control system differentiate between slow and fast control operations?

The patent application does not provide specific details on how the system determines when to implement slow or fast control operations.

What types of image content or inputs are considered in the brightness control process?

The patent application does not specify the range of image content or inputs that the system analyzes to adjust brightness.

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are described herein to control brightness based on image content or other inputs to a display system. a dual-control system may integrate both slow control operations and fast control operations into a cohesive brightness management system. by using both shorter-term (e.g., fast control) and longer-term (e.g., slow control) brightness adjustment operations, the electronic device may quickly respond to high luminance and high brightness situations that may cause burn-in into the display, image artifacts, or other damage. responding quickly to these high consumption situations may prevent damage or perceivable upset to an ongoing process, among other benefits.
