Mobile terminal, display control method thereof, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing display control program
View Patent ↗A mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment includes a display unit that displays predetermined information, a display control unit that controls the display unit, an input unit that allows input of predetermined information, and a setting unit that sets the display unit to a first low brightness display state, in which the first low brightness display state displays the display unit with low brightness. When the setting unit sets a display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit controls the display unit to display only predetermined information that should be displayed while controlling the display unit to display a background screen of the display unit with lowest brightness or brightness near the lowest brightness, which is first low brightness, at the time of displaying the predetermined information on the display unit.
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display unit configured to display predetermined information;
a display control unit configured to control the display unit;
an input unit configured to allow input of predetermined information; and
a setting unit configured to set the display unit to a first low brightness display state, the first low brightness display state being the state in which the display unit displays with low brightness,
wherein:
when the setting unit sets a display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit controls the display unit to display only predetermined information that should be displayed while controlling the display unit to display a background screen of the display unit with lowest brightness or brightness near the lowest brightness, which is the first low brightness, at the time of displaying the predetermined information on the display unit;
the setting unit of the mobile terminal includes a function to count the current time and a function to set a time zone between a pre-set first time and a pre-set second time; and
the setting unit compares the current time with the time zone, and when the current time is within the time zone, the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state.
2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
when the mobile terminal receives an incoming call or mail, the predetermined information that should be displayed is information regarding the incoming call or mail or information regarding current time and information regarding the incoming call or mail, and
when there is no incoming call or mail, the predetermined information that should be displayed is information regarding current time.
3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the background screen of the display unit is displayed in black and the information displayed on the display unit is displayed in white.
4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the setting unit of the mobile terminal is the input unit, and
the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state according to the input from the input unit.
5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, upon detection of the input to the input unit, the display control unit resets the first low brightness display state, which is the display state of the display unit.
6. The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein
when the display control unit resets the first low brightness display state, which is the display state of the display unit, the display control units sets the brightness of the background screen of the display unit to second low brightness which is higher than the first low brightness, and sets the display state of the display unit to the second low brightness display state.
7. The mobile terminal according to claim 6 , wherein after the display control unit sets the display state of the display unit to the second low brightness display state, the display control unit gradually increases the brightness of the background screen of the display unit to be brightness in a normally used state.
8. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising an input unit backlight that illuminates the input unit according to control of the display control unit,
wherein when the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit suppresses the illumination of the input unit backlight.
9. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display unit configured to display predetermined information;
a display control unit configured to control the display unit;
an input unit configured to allow input of predetermined information; and
a setting unit configured to set the display unit to a first low brightness display state, the first low brightness display state being the state in which the display unit displays with low brightness;
wherein:
when the setting unit sets a display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit controls the display unit to display only predetermined information that should be displayed while controlling the display unit to display a background screen of the display unit with lowest brightness or brightness near the lowest brightness, which is the first low brightness, at the time of displaying the predetermined information on the display unit;
the setting unit of the mobile terminal includes a function to count the current time and a function to set a time zone between a pre-set first time and a pre-set second time;
the setting unit compares the current time with the time zone, and when the current time is within the time zone, the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state;
when the mobile terminal receives an incoming call or mail, the predetermined information that should be displayed is information regarding the incoming call or mail or information regarding current time and information regarding the incoming call or mail; and
when there is no incoming call or mail, the predetermined information that should be displayed is information regarding current time.
10. A mobile terminal comprising:
a display unit configured to display predetermined information;
a display control unit configured to control the display unit;
an input unit configured to allow input of predetermined information;
a setting unit configured to set the display unit to a first low brightness display state, the first low brightness display state being the state in which the display unit displays with low brightness; and
an input unit backlight that illuminates the input unit according to control of the display control unit;
wherein:
when the setting unit sets a display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit controls the display unit to display only predetermined information that should be displayed while controlling the display unit to display a background screen of the display unit with lowest brightness or brightness near the lowest brightness, which is the first low brightness, at the time of displaying the predetermined information on the display unit;
the setting unit of the mobile terminal includes a function to count the current time and a function to set a time zone between a pre-set first time and a pre-set second time;
the setting unit compares the current time with the time zone, and when the current time is within the time zone, the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state; and
when the setting unit sets the display state of the display unit to the first low brightness display state, the display control unit suppresses the illumination of the input unit backlight.
