Abstract

A brightness adjustment method and device and an electronic device are provided. The method comprises: detecting a click of a user on a designated physical key; if the click is detected, displaying a designated panel on a touch sensitive display, wherein the designated panel comprises a brightness adjustment panel of the touch sensitive display; and adjusting the brightness of the touch sensitive display in accordance with a gesture operation of the user on the brightness adjustment panel.

Claims (44)

1. A method for adjusting brightness of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a touch sensitive display and a volume adjustment button, wherein the method comprises:

detecting a click from a user on the volume adjustment button;

displaying a designated panel on the touch sensitive display if the click is detected, wherein the designated panel comprises a brightness adjustment panel of the touch sensitive display; and

adjusting the brightness of the touch sensitive display based on operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the designated panel on the touch sensitive display comprises:

querying current brightness information of the touch sensitive display, and

displaying a brightness adjustment bar of the touch sensitive display on the touch sensitive display based on the current brightness information.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the designated panel further comprises a volume adjustment panel; and

wherein the method further comprises, after displaying the designated panel on the touch sensitive display:

adjusting volume of the electronic device, based on gesture operation of the user on the volume adjustment panel and/or operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, if the click is detected:

notifying a current application to process the click; and

executing the step of displaying the designated panel on the touch sensitive display if the current application does not process the click.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising, after displaying the designated panel on the touch sensitive display:

closing the designated panel if no operation of the user is detected in a designated duration.

6. An apparatus for adjusting brightness of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a touch sensitive display and a volume adjustment button, wherein the apparatus comprises:

an input detection unit, configured to detect a click from a user on the volume adjustment button, and if the click is detected, trigger a panel display unit;

the panel display unit, configured to display a designated panel on the touch sensitive display, wherein the designated panel includes a brightness adjustment panel of the touch sensitive display; and

a brightness adjustment unit, configured to adjust the brightness of the touch sensitive display based on operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein in a case that the panel display unit is configured to display the designated panel on the touch sensitive display, it is configured to query current brightness information of the touch sensitive display, and display a brightness adjustment bar of the touch sensitive display on the touch sensitive display based on the current brightness information.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the designated panel further comprises a volume adjustment panel; and

wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a volume adjustment unit, configured to adjust volume of the electronic device based on gesture operation of the user on the volume adjustment panel and/or operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a current application processing unit, configured to:

before triggering the panel display unit, notify the current application to process the click, and

if the current application does not process the click, trigger the panel display unit.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a panel closing unit, configured to, close the designated panel if no operation of the user is detected in a designated duration.

11. An electronic device, comprising a touch sensitive display, a volume adjustment button and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

detect a click from a user on the volume adjustment button;

display a designated panel on the touch sensitive display if the click is detected, wherein the designated panel comprises a brightness adjustment panel of the touch sensitive display; and

adjust the brightness of the touch sensitive display based on operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein in a case that the processor is configured to display the designated panel on the touch sensitive display, the processor is configured to:

query current brightness information of the touch sensitive display, and

display a brightness adjustment bar of the touch sensitive display on the touch sensitive display based on the current brightness information.

13. The device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the designated panel further comprises a volume adjustment panel; and

wherein the processor is further configured to, after the designated panel is displayed on the touch sensitive display, adjust volume of the electronic device based on gesture operation of the user on the volume adjustment panel and/or operation of the user on the volume adjustment button.

14. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, if the click is detected, notify a current application to process the click, and if the current application does not process the click, execute the operation of displaying the designated panel on the touch sensitive display.

15. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to, after the designated panel is displayed on the touch sensitive display, close the designated panel if no operation of the user is detected in a designated duration.
