Abstract

The disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for adjusting color temperature based upon fuzzy control. The method for adjusting color temperature based upon fuzzy control includes: determining an initial color temperature value of a screen of an terminal device according to an illumination intensity of ambient light when the screen is lightened; obtaining a percentage of eyelid closure over the pupil, over time, PERCLOS of a user, and the illumination intensity of ambient light at a preset periodicity; and determining a target color temperature value corresponding to the current PERCLOS of the user, and the current illumination intensity of ambient light according to a preset fuzzy rule, and adjusting the screen to the target color temperature value, wherein taking the PERCLOS, and the illumination intensity of ambient light as input signals, and the color temperature as an output signal according to the preset fuzzy rule.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for adjusting color temperature based upon fuzzy control, the method comprising:
determining an initial color temperature value of a screen of a terminal device according to an illumination intensity of ambient light in response to that the screen is lightened;

determining a target color temperature value corresponding to the PERCLOS of the user, and the illumination intensity of ambient light according to a preset fuzzy rule, and adjusting the screen to the target color temperature value;
the preset fuzzy rule is created by:
categorizing the PERCLOS into three levels which are Level-headed (S), Fatigued (M), and Exhausted (L) respectively; categorizing the illumination intensity of ambient light into four levels which are Dark light rays (NM), Normal light rays (NS), Bright light rays (PS), and Very bright light rays (PB) respectively; and categorizing the color temperature value into six levels which are Warm and reddish light (RB), Normal and warm light (RM), Normal and natural white light (RS), Natural, white and bluish light (BS), Normal and cold white (BM), and Cold and bluish light (BL) respectively and creating a subjection function of the color temperature value; and
taking the at least one level corresponding to the PERCLOS, and the at least one level corresponding to the illumination intensity of ambient light as input signals, taking the at least one level of the color temperature value as an output signal, so as to generate the preset fuzzy rule as follows;
If X is S and Y is NM, C is RS;
