Auto dimming through camera use

摘要

The use of a digital camera in communication with a mobile device to determine the intensity of ambient light conditions is described herein. In one example, the digital camera receives light energy representing ambient light. The intensity of the ambient light is determined and, based upon a comparison of that intensity to a setpoint, the mobile device is reconfigured. In another example, a mobile device is described that uses a digital camera to measure ambient light conditions. The mobile device can be configured in various ways based upon a determination of the intensity and/or wavelengths of the ambient light.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving light via an aperture of a camera; determining an intensity of the received light; comparing the intensity to a setpoint to generate a reconfiguration output; and reconfiguring a feature of a mobile device based upon the reconfiguration output, wherein reconfiguring comprises:
detecting that the received light comprises light indicative of the color red and the color blue; andaltering one of the light indicative of the color red or blue to a respective other color.
