Samsung patents screen auto-calibration triggered by device impact
This patent describes an electronic device that automatically adjusts its screen display settings when it detects a physical bump or shake. The system first checks how the device is being used, such as the brightness level or type of content, to set a specific threshold for what counts as a significant impact. If the detected movement exceeds this threshold, the processor recalibrates the image display to ensure accurate colors and brightness.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device including an image display portion through which to display content; and at least one processor configured to set a calibration threshold value based on a usage environment of the electronic device, calculate an amount of an external impact applied to the electronic device, compare the calculated amount of the external impact and a magnitude of the set calibration threshold value, and perform a calibration of the image display portion based on the calculated amount of the external impact being greater than the set calibration threshold value.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: an image display portion through which to display content; a memory that stores at least one instruction; and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: identify a usage environment based on at least one of the content, an operation mode, or illuminance, based on the identified usage environment, set a calibration threshold value, calculate an amount of an external impact applied to the electronic device, compare the calculated amount of the external impact and a magnitude of the set calibration threshold value, and perform a calibration of the image display portion based on the calculated amount of the external impact being greater than the set calibration threshold value.
