Systems and methods for monitoring light emissions of electronic devices
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring light emissions in electronic devices. The disclosed techniques herein provide for determining a display duration of display devices for a user. Light emission profiles for each of the display devices are determined. A cumulative emissions exposure is determined that is based on the light emission profiles for the display devices and the display duration of the display devices for the user. A determination is made whether the cumulative emissions exposure exceeds a light emission exposure limit set for the user. In a positive determination, an instruction is transmitted to the display devices for execution of a remedial action based on predefined rules.
1. A method comprising:
in response to determining that an electronic device played a first content of a first content type during a first time period, calculating a first light emission exposure count based on an emission profile associated with the first content type and a duration of the first time period;
in response to determining that the electronic device played a second content of a second type during a second time period, calculating a second light emission exposure count based on an emission profile associated with the second content type and a duration of the second time period;
calculating a cumulative light emission exposure count based on the first light emission exposure count and the second light emission exposure count; and
in response to determining that the cumulative light emission exposure count exceeds a light emission exposure limit, transmitting an instruction to the electronic device for execution of a remedial action.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first light emission exposure is calculated based on the characteristics of the first content played on the electronic device.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the characteristics include a Red, Green, Blue (RGB) value of the first content played on the electronic device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the RGB value is a set of matrices comprising the RGB value for each pixel of a frame of the first content played on the electronic device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action is based on a predefined rule.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action comprises powering off a display of the electronic device for a predefined time period.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predefined time period is selected by a user of the electronic device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the instruction to the electronic device comprises transmitting a notification to a user to switch to a display device of a separate electronic device with a lesser light emission profile.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the instruction to the electronic device comprises:
determining, after a predefined time period, whether the user has switched to the separate electronic device with the lesser light emission profile; and
in response to the determination that, after the predefined time period, the user has not switched to the separate electronic device with the lesser light emission profile, powering off a display of the electronic device for a predefined period of time.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cumulative light emission exposure is determined based on a predefined ratio of the emission profile to the duration of the first time period.
11. A system for monitoring light emissions of an electronic device, comprising:
communication circuitry configured to retrieve: an emission profile associated with a first content type and an emission profile associated with a second content type; and
control circuitry configured to:
in response to determining that an electronic device played a first content of the first content type during a first time period, calculate a first light emission exposure count based on an emission profile associated with the first content type and a duration of the first time period;
in response to determining that the electronic device played a second content of the second content type during a second time period, calculate a second light emission exposure count based on an emission profile associated with the second content type and a duration of the second time period;
calculate a cumulative light emission exposure count based on the first light emission exposure count and the second light emission exposure count; and
in response to determining that the cumulative light emission exposure count exceeds a light emission exposure limit, transmit an instruction to the electronic device for execution of a remedial action.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first light emission exposure is calculated based on the characteristics of the first content played on the electronic device.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the characteristics include a Red, Green, Blue (RGB) value of the first content played on the electronic device.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the RGB value is a set of matrices comprising the RGB value for each pixel of a frame of the first content played on the electronic device.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action is based on a predefined rule.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remedial action comprises powering off a display of the electronic device for a predefined time period.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the predefined time period is selected by a user of the electronic device.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the instruction to the electronic device comprises transmitting a notification to a user to switch to a display device of a separate electronic device with a lesser light emission profile.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein transmitting the instruction to the electronic device comprises:
determining, after a predefined time period, whether the user has switched to the separate electronic device with the lesser light emission profile; and
in response to the determination that, after the predefined time period, the user has not switched to the separate electronic device with the lesser light emission profile, powering off a display of the electronic device for a predefined period of time.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cumulative light emission exposure is determined based on a predefined ratio of the emission profile to the duration of the first time period.
