Seamless Transition for Multiple Display Brightness Modes - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18036323 Titled 'Seamless Transition for Multiple Display Brightness Modes'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a device with a display that can operate at different brightness levels. The device has processors that can perform various operations. One operation is detecting a fingerprint authentication event while the display is at a certain brightness level. Based on this event, a specific part of the user interface is determined to operate at a different brightness level. The display then transitions from the initial brightness level to the new brightness level. Additionally, another part of the display is shown using either the initial brightness level or a slightly adjusted gray level for the new brightness level.


Original Abstract Submitted

An example device includes a display component that is configured to operate at a first brightness level or a second brightness level. The device also includes one or more processors operable to perform operations. The operations include detecting, by the display component and while the display component is operating at the first brightness level, a fingerprint authentication triggering event. The operations further include determining, based on the fingerprint authentication triggering event, a first portion of the graphical user interface to operate at the second brightness level. The operations also include transitioning the display component from the first brightness level to the second brightness level. The operations additionally include displaying a second portion of the display component based on applying, to the second portion, one of: (1) the first brightness level, or (2) a value offset to a gray level for the second brightness level.
