The described examples may determine a time at which the screen content is to be evaluated. The screen content is categorized based on the evaluation. A category of the screen content may be input into a machine learning algorithm that may be used to determine whether a screen brightness adjustment is appropriate. If a screen brightness adjustment is appropriate, a degree of the screen brightness adjustment may be determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeremy Edward Goodsitt, Vincent Pham, Austin Grant Walters, Anh Truong, Galen Rafferty, Reza Farivar

Patent number: 11893923Abstract: A display apparatus is provided, which includes a display module, a biosensor, an ambient-light sensor, and a display controller. The ambient-light sensor is configured to detect ambient-light brightness and an ambient-light color temperature of the display apparatus. The display controller is configured to receive a video signal from a host, and displays the video signal on the display module. When the biosensor detects that a user is located in front of the display apparatus, the biosensor transmits an image-adjustment control signal to the display controller to control the display apparatus to enter an image-adjustment mode. When the display apparatus is in the image-adjustment mode, the display controller adjusts screen brightness and a screen color temperature of the image signal displayed on the display module according to the ambient-light brightness and the ambient-light color temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Cheng-Lung Lin, Chih-Cheng Huang, Tzu-Yi Tsao, Chia-En Liu

Patent number: 11847952Abstract: A luminance compensator includes a memory device and a luminance compensation circuit. The memory device stores a plurality of luminance compensation data and provides first luminance compensation data and second luminance compensation data among the plurality of luminance compensation data in response to a frame rate dimming-on signal. The first luminance compensation data corresponds to a first frame rate. The second luminance compensation data corresponds to a second frame rate. The plurality of luminance compensation data is for compensating luminance of at least one region that operates with a plurality of frame rates. The frame rate dimming-on signal represents time intervals in which frame rates of the at least one region are gradually changed. The luminance compensation circuit generates third luminance compensation data in response to the frame rate dimming-on signal, the first luminance compensation data, and the second luminance compensation data.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Inventors: Pilseung Heo, Jinyong Park, Hyeonsu Park, Hyunwook Lim
