It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1a, fig. 1a is a schematic structural diagram of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the mobile terminal includes adisplay screen 10, and thedisplay screen 10 may be embedded in a housing 20 of the mobile terminal. Thedisplay screen 10 is divided into adisplay area 11 and anon-display area 12, thedisplay area 11 is used for providing a visual operation interface for a user so that the user can view the operation interface and interact with the operation interface, thenon-display area 12 is used for protecting functional devices on the same side with thedisplay area 11, such as anambient light sensor 30 and a camera module, and therefore thenon-display area 12 is arranged on theambient light sensor 30 so as to protect the ambient light sensor.
Referring to fig. 1b, fig. 1b is a first flowchart illustrating an ambient light detection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The ambient light detection method includes:
step 101, determining whether the display screen is in a working state according to the received ambient light detection instruction.
The ambient light detection instruction is used for instructing the ambient light sensor to detect the light intensity of the ambient light. The detection frequency of the ambient light sensor may be determined in advance, for example, the ambient light intensity of the environment in which the mobile terminal is located is detected once at intervals of 5 s. Or when the display screen is switched from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, the ambient light is triggered to be acquired, and the specific trigger condition can be set arbitrarily, which is not limited here.
Specifically, the working state of the display screen, that is, the state of the display screen when being displayed, that is, the bright screen state, may be a mode of determining whether the display screen is in the working state, that is, a mode of detecting a parameter representing the state of the display screen. For example, if the parameter of the display screen in the operating state is set to 1 and the parameter in the non-operating state is set to 0, it can be determined whether the display screen is currently in the operating state by reading the parameter.
In addition, the manner of determining whether the display screen is in the working state may be to determine whether a touch operation of the user on the display screen is received or not or whether a physical key arranged on the mobile terminal housing is pressed within a period of time from the reception of the ambient light detection instruction, so as to determine whether the current state of the display screen is in the working state.
It should be noted that there are other ways to determine whether the display screen is in the working state, which can be implemented by other prior arts, and the application is not limited herein.
And 102, if the display screen is in a working state, controlling an ambient light sensor to acquire a first ambient light intensity value.
If it is detected instep 101 that the current state of the display screen is the working state, it may be determined that the display screen is displaying, and the ambient light sensor may be controlled to collect a current ambient light intensity value at a time, where the first ambient light intensity value collected this time is an ambient light intensity value affected by the light intensity of the display screen.
Specifically, when the ambient light sensor performs the collection, the current ambient light intensity value can be determined according to the luminous intensities of the three primary colors by collecting R, G, B the luminous intensities of the three primary colors. The current ambient light intensity value may also be determined from the collected light sensitive data, for example, tissue changes in the light sensitive elements result in changes in the collected light sensitive data. After the ambient light sensor determines the first ambient light intensity value, the first ambient light intensity value can be sent to the processor to complete one-time collection of ambient light.
And 103, displaying a frame of target preset image on a display screen.
The refresh rate of the display screen in the mobile terminal is generally 60Hz, that is, 60 frames of images can be refreshed within 1s, and a target preset image is displayed in one frame of the images, wherein the target preset image may be a full black image, or a black image may be displayed in a portion of the display area close to the ambient light sensor.
