IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
An image processing apparatus including a processor comprising hardware. The processor being configured to: divide an imaging signal that is obtained by capturing an image of an inside of a subject into a first base component and a detail component, the first base component corresponding to an illumination component of an object, the detail component corresponding to a reflectance component of the object; generate a second base component by performing a color enhancement process on the first base component for increasing color gradation in a predetermined color space; and synthesize the second base component and the detail component to output a synthesized signal. Where the color enhancement process is an enhancement processing on the first base component for extending a color distribution range of at least one component of an L component, an a component, and a b component in a Lab color space.

Display device and control method therefor
A display device and a control method therefor are disclosed. According to the disclosure, the display device comprises: a sensor for sensing the surrounding environmental state; an inputter for receiving a user command for content conversion; an outputter for outputting content corresponding to the user command; and a processor for controlling the outputter such that screen brightness and/or audio output strength of second content corresponding to the user command is changed and outputted, when the user command is inputted, on the basis of the sensed surrounding environmental state and/or output information of currently outputted first content. Therefore, the display device can variously output an output of content image and/or audio according to the surrounding environmental state.

Ambient light sensor based picture enhancement
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for adjusting an output of a media device to a display device based on measurement data from the ambient light source. According to some embodiments, a computer implemented method for adjusting one or more parameters of a content to be displayed on a display device can include receiving, by a media device and from an electronic device, measurement data including ambient light measurement data for an environment of the media device, the electronic device, and the display device. The method can further include adjusting, at the media device, the one or more parameters of the content based at least on the measurement data and outputting, by the media device, the adjusted content to the display device to be displayed.

Electronic Device and Sensor Control Method
An electronic device includes a time of flight (ToF) sensor, a proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor. The ToF sensor, the proximity sensor, and the ambient light sensor are located on a same side of the electronic device. When the ToF sensor is turned on, a light sensor (for example, the proximity sensor and/or the ambient light sensor) may be controlled to be turned off, and when the ToF sensor is turned off, the light sensor may be controlled to be turned on. Alternatively, when the ToF sensor is turned on, data measured by a light sensor is discarded, and when the ToF sensor is turned off, a corresponding function is implemented based on data measured by the light sensor.

Time, content, and presence based adjustment of audio and video playback levels and modes
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining settings and parameters for presenting media content based on input data from a surrounding environment. Example methods may include determining input data such as time and brightness in an environment, determining adjusted content settings based on the input data, and causing an electronic device to adjust content settings for presenting the media content based on the input data. For example, the adjusted content settings may involve audio and/or visual settings. The systems and methods may also gradually transition the content settings based on an impending change in the environment.
Ambient light sensor windows for electronic devices comprising an optical sensor within an opening in the locally thinned area of an opaque layer
An electronic device has pixels that form an active area of a display for displaying images for a user. A layer of black ink or other opaque material may be formed on an inner surface of a display cover layer in an inactive area of the display that does not overlap pixels. The housing may have sidewalls such as a rear housing wall that faces away from the display. Ambient light sensor windows may be formed from tapered holes or other holes. The tapered holes may be formed in the opaque material on the display cover layer, may be formed in a rear housing wall or other hosing structure, or may be formed in other portions of the electronic device. Non-tapered holes may also form windows. Tapered holes may have sidewalls with portions that run parallel to their longitudinal axes and portions that are angled relative to their longitudinal axes.
