  • Patent number: 9990903
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display device for sync brightness control includes a brightness key, an embedded controller, a storage unit, a processing unit, a peripheral controlling circuit and BIOS. The storage unit stores an operating system and a brightness application. The processing unit executes the brightness control application in the operating system. The peripheral controlling circuit receives a request from the brightness key. The BIOS acquires the request from the peripheral controlling circuit and send an event to notify a brightness user interface of the operating system, so that the brightness user interface notifies a driver in the operating system and sends a brightness adjusting command to the brightness control application according to the event. The brightness control application notifies the embedded controller to adjust the brightness of the display device according to the brightness adjusting command.
