DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0067] Technical solutions in embodiments of the disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art on the basis of the embodiments of the disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.

[0068] To make a person skilled in the art better understand a technical solution of the disclosure, the disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0069] In the technical solution of the disclosure, ambient illuminance and a projection distance of a projection apparatus are obtained by controlling an illuminance sensor and a distance sensor, and a functional relationship between the “ambient illuminance”, “projection plane illuminance” and the “projection distance” is found through analysis and modeling of a large amount of data. In an actual projection process, the ambient illuminance and the projection distance of the projection apparatus during working are collected by sensors, and appropriate brightness of the projection apparatus can be computed and the projection apparatus can adjust to the appropriate brightness; and moreover, stability of color points is guaranteed, and viewing experience of users is improved. Since there is no need for human intervention in the method, a whole process is automatically completed in extremely short time. The technical solution of the disclosure may be applied to projectors (long-focus/short-focus, etc.), laser televisions and other devices with projection functions.

[0070] Lumens are usually used to indicate brightness of the projection apparatus, which refers to a luminous flux or visibility of the projection apparatus. A measurement method is defined by American National Standards Institute. Generally, mean illuminance of 9 points is obtained by dividing the sum of illuminance (unit: lux (Lx)) of the 9 points by 9, and then a luminous flux of a whole projection picture is obtained by multiplying the mean illuminance by an area: ANSI lumens. The brightness in the technical solution of the disclosure is actually the luminous flux of the whole projection picture.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a self-adaptive adjustment method for brightness of a projection apparatus. The method specifically includes:

[0072] S11: an ambient illuminance value and a projection distance value of the projection apparatus are collected;

[0073] S12: a projection plane illuminance value of the projection apparatus is computed according to a relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value and the acquired ambient illuminance value and projection distance value of the projection apparatus; and

[0074] S13: brightness of the projection apparatus is adjusted according to the projection plane illuminance value of the projection apparatus.

[0075] Alternatively, in the embodiment, the illuminance sensor is used to sense projection ambient illuminance, and the distance sensor is used to measure a distance between a projection device and a projection plane. Referable illuminance sensor components include, but are not limited to, OPT3001, OPT3006 and BH1750FVL. Referable distance measurement components include, but are not limited to, VL53L1X, VL53L0X and TMF8801. A part related to brightness in the projection apparatus may be subdivided into a sensor data processing component, a brightness algorithm component and a brightness control component. A data processing component is in communication with a sensor by means of a hardware interface of the sensor, and controls sensor initialization, data measurement, data reading, filtering, etc. The brightness algorithm component mainly uses the ambient illuminance data and projection distance data obtained by a sensor for computation, so as to obtain required brightness to be adjusted. The brightness control component adjusts brightness of a device by adjusting a current, an optical zoom factor or an aperture size or through other methods according to the required brightness to be adjusted, so as to ensure that a user is always at optimal viewing brightness.

[0076] Sensors (including the illuminance sensor and the distance sensor) are connected to a control unit of the projection apparatus by means of hardware interfaces provided by the sensors, thereby realizing normal communication, and the control unit may control the sensors to conduct sampling, data reading and other operations. The sensors may be mounted on a housing of the projection apparatus, and a cover sheet, etc. for appearance optimization is added for necessary packaging. The control unit requires an interface for controlling a luminous component current, so as to facilitate change of a current value. In addition, the control unit is provided with an interface for controlling an electric motor to drive the projection apparatus and changing the optical zoom factor of the projection apparatus.

[0077] The control unit of the projection apparatus uses the illuminance sensor and a display component of the projection apparatus to obtain ambient illuminance. Because the projection apparatus may emit light when displaying a picture and show diffuse reflection on a projection screen or wall surface, data measurement of the illuminance sensor is influenced. To obtain accurate ambient illuminance information and guarantee accuracy of subsequent projection illuminance computation, the following two ambient light measurement methods may be used:

[0078] It is to be noted that in a first method as shown in FIG. 2, the method that an ambient illuminance value is collected in S11 includes:

[0079] S1111: an nth frame of projected image is projected, where n is a positive integer;

[0080] S1112: the ambient illuminance value is collected at least twice in a projection gap period;

[0081] S1113: whether n is larger than the preset number of projected frames is determined, S1114 is proceeded to under the condition that n is larger than the preset number of projected frames, and n=n+1 and S1111 is returned to under the condition that n is not larger than the preset number of projected frames; and

[0082] S1114: a trimmed mean of all collected ambient illuminance values is computed, so as to obtain a final ambient illuminance value.

[0083] Alternatively, the projection picture is actually formed by continuously displaying a plurality of frames of pictures in short time, and frame rates of different projection apparatus are different. However, between frames, the projection apparatus is in the projection gap period, and no picture is displayed on the projection plane. A frame projection sequence of the projection apparatus and a sampling sequence of the illuminance sensor are controlled, and an illuminometer is controlled to sample ambient light between display frame sequences of the projection apparatus.

[0084] Alternatively, according to the following sequence control, in time t between projecting a first frame of projected image and projecting a second frame of projected image, the illuminance sensor is controlled to continuously collect the ambient illuminance at least twice, ambient light sampling is also conducted between a second frame and a third frame, and the trimmed mean is obtained by using series data. The trimmed mean is used in computation of the ambient illuminance value, thereby avoiding influence of projected reflected light on sampling data of the illuminance sensor and further reducing errors caused by sampling fluctuation.

[0085] It is to be noted that in a second method as shown in FIG. 3, the method that an ambient illuminance value is collected in S11 includes:

[0086] S1121: an nth frame of projected image is projected, where n is a positive integer;

[0087] S1122: a data source brightness value of the projected image is acquired, and an ambient illuminance value of the projected image is simultaneously collected, so as to obtain a group of data source brightness value-ambient illuminance value data;

[0088] S1123: whether n is larger than the preset number of projected frames is determined, S1124 is proceeded to under the condition that n is larger than the preset number of projected frames, and n=n+1 and S1121 is returned to under the condition that n is not larger than the preset number of projected frames;

[0089] S1124: a least square method is used to fit a relation curve function L(x)=ax.sub.2+bx+c between a plurality of groups of data source brightness value-ambient illuminance value data, where x is a data source brightness value of the projected image, L is an ambient illuminance value of the projected image, and a, b and c are constants; and

[0090] S1125: according to the fitted relation curve function, an ambient illuminance value of the projected image when the data source brightness value of the projected image is 0 is computed, so as to obtain a final ambient illuminance value.

[0091] Alternatively, analysis and processing are conducted according to changes of brightness data of a projected image data source and changes of sampling data of a sensor, so as to eliminate data deviation caused by the projected reflected light. Specific steps are as follows: (1) image information of the projected image data source is intercepted, and in this case, brightness information of a picture is analyzed; and the illuminance sensor is used for sampling while a projected image is intercepted, and sampled illuminance of the sensor at the same time is obtained. According to the steps, a picture content of the projected image is changed, and the picture content needs to be changed in brightness, so as to obtain a plurality of data sets (data source brightness value 1, sensor sampled ambient illuminance value 1), (data source brightness value 2, sensor sampled ambient illuminance value 2) and so on. (2) The least square method is used to fit a relation curve between two kinds of data, which is a common quadratic function model like: L(x)=ax.sup.2+bx+c, where x is a projected image data source brightness value, and L is an ambient illuminance value measured by the illuminance sensor. The ambient illuminance value when the projected image data source brightness value is 0 is computed by analyzing the curve, and influence of the projected reflected light is eliminated. Changes of an environment are unknown when the projection apparatus is working, so fitting needs to be conducted according to the model before each time of brightness adjustment, and values of a, b and c are dynamically variable.

[0092] It is to be noted that in the method that a projection distance value is collected in S11, the control unit of the projection apparatus controls the distance sensor to obtain a working distance of the projection apparatus: the sensor may be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor or other devices that may accurately measure a distance in a certain range. To accurately obtain the working distance of the projection apparatus, the sensor is mounted on a housing of a main machine of the projection apparatus, and a measuring probe is exposed to the outside, with a field of vision (Fov) area required to be within a projection area, so as to ensure that an accurate projection distance is obtained without being influenced by other obstacles in the environment, thereby avoiding distance measurement errors.

[0093] It is to be noted that S12 includes:

[0094] S121: the relation function L(I,d)=α.Math.I+λ.Math.d+β+r between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value is acquired, where d is the projection distance value, I is the ambient illuminance value, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and α, λ, β and r are constants; and

[0095] S122: the acquired ambient illuminance value I and projection distance value d are substituted into the relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value for computation, so as to obtain a projection plane illuminance value.

[0096] It is to be noted that S121 includes:

[0097] S1211: the ambient illuminance value is changed at a same projection distance, projection is adjusted to an optimal light and shadow effect, a corresponding projection plane illuminance value is recorded, so as to obtain a plurality of groups of ambient illuminance value-projection plane illuminance value data, and a curve relation function :L(I)+∂.Math.I+β between the ambient illuminance value and the projection plane illuminance value is obtained through curve fitting, where I is the ambient illuminance value, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and ∂ and β are constants.

[0098] Alternatively, curve fitting of the ambient illuminance and projection plane illuminance is conducted: at a same distance (the distance is variable and is usually computed according to a common distance, such as a distance for projection of 80 inches). The ambient illuminance is changed. Then, projection is adjusted to the optimal light and shadow effect. Data sets (illuminance sensor illuminance value 1, projection plane illuminance 1), (illuminance sensor illuminance value 2, projection plane illuminance 2) and so on are recorded. The steps are repeated to obtain a plurality of data sets. A curve relation L.sub.I(I)=∂.Math.I+β between the ambient illuminance and the projection plane illuminance is obtained through curve fitting, where I is an illuminance sensor value, generally with a unit (lx), which is a measurement unit of an illuminance intensity. L is the projection plane illuminance value, and ∂ and β are constants. Through the curve relation function, required projection plane illuminance may be computed according to ambient illuminance information at a same distance.

[0099] S1212: a projection distance is changed in a darkroom environment, projection is adjusted to an optimal light and shadow effect, a corresponding projection plane illuminance value is recorded, so as to obtain a plurality of groups of projection distance-projection plane illuminance value data, and a curve relation function L.sub.d(d)=k.Math.d+γ between the projection distance and the projection plane illuminance value is obtained through curve fitting, where d is the projection distance, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and k and γ are constants.

[0100] Alternatively, curve fitting of the projection distance and the projection plane illuminance is conducted: based on curve fitting of the ambient illuminance and projection plane illuminance, the projection distance also changes because the working distance of the projection apparatus varies with different scenes of users. The farther the projection distance is, the smaller the projection plane illuminance is; and the closer the projection distance is, the larger the projection plane illuminance is. Under a darkroom condition, when point illuminance of the projection picture is high, a subjective feeling is bright, and when the point illuminance is low, the subjective feeling is dark. In a darkroom environment, the projection distance is changed and projection is adjusted to appropriate illuminance. If required illuminance is lower than a minimum projection illuminance, the illuminance is adjusted to the minimum illuminance; and if actual required illuminance is higher than a maximum projection luminous illuminance, the illuminance is adjusted to the maximum illuminance. At different projection distances, data (projection distance 1, projection plane illuminance 1), (projection distance 2, projection plane illuminance 2) and so on are recorded. A relation between optimal projection brightness and the projection distance is obtained through curve fitting, which is a relation function L.sub.d(d)=k.Math.d+γ between the projection plane illuminance and the projection distance, where d is the projection distance, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and k and y are constants.

[0101] S1213: the relation function L(I,d)=α.Math.I+λ.Math.d+β+r between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value is obtained by combining the curve relation function between the ambient illuminance value and the projection plane illuminance value and the curve relation function between the projection distance and the projection plane illuminance value, where d is the projection distance, I is the ambient illuminance value, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and α, λ, β and r are constants.

[0102] Alternatively, in the darkroom environment, optimal viewing projection plane illuminance changing curves L.sub.d of different projection distances provide basic illuminance of L.sub.I(I)=∂.Math.I+β. In this case, the basic illuminance refers to optimal viewing illuminance in the darkroom environment at the projection distance d. Firstly, the basic illuminance without ambient light at the distance is computed according to a formula L.sub.d(d), and then projection brightness is adjusted on the basis of a basic illuminance value according to a formula L.sub.I(I) of projection ambient illuminance. A formula L(I,d) is obtained by adding the formulas for simplification, and an appropriate projection plane illuminance value may be computed according to differences between the projection distance and a projection ambient illuminance value. Finally, a formula for computing optimal viewing projection plane illuminance by combining the projection ambient illuminance and the projection distance is: L(I,d)=α.Math.I+λ.Math.d+β+r, where d is the projection distance, I is the ambient illuminance value, L is the projection plane illuminance value, and α, λ, β and r are constants; and target projection plane illuminance L.sub.t in the environment is computed by putting illuminance sensor data and projection distance data into a formula L.

[0103] It is to be noted that as shown in FIG. 4, S13 includes:

[0104] S131: a luminous component driving current value of the projection apparatus is computed according to the projection plane illuminance value;

[0105] S132: whether the luminous component driving current value of the projection apparatus exceeds a maximum luminous component driving current value is determined, S134 is proceeded to under the condition that the luminous component driving current value of the projection apparatus exceeds the maximum luminous component driving current value, and S133 is proceeded to under the condition that the luminous component driving current value of the projection apparatus does not exceed the maximum luminous component driving current value;

[0106] S133: a luminous component driving current is adjusted to the luminous component driving current value; and

[0107] S134: the luminous component driving current is adjusted to the maximum driving current value, and an optical zoom factor of the projection apparatus is adjusted according to a relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the optical zoom factor.

[0108] Alternatively, regarding current adjustment: for current monochromatic laser projection, a driving current of a light source may be simply adjusted so as to control a luminous intensity of a light, but for a tricolor laser light source or tricolor light emitting diode (LED) light source, it is necessary to consider adjusting influence of red, green and blue lights on illuminance. Extent of the influence on the illuminance is in a sequence of the green, red and blue lights. When the driving current is adjusted to target illuminance, the green light is adjusted, then the red light is adjusted, and finally the blue light is adjusted. The target illuminance is not realized by adjusting a driving current of only one of the lights because deviation of color coordinates of other colors synthesized with red, green and blue as primary colors will occur inevitably while the illuminance changes if the driving current of only one or two of the lights is changed, leading to color distortion.

[0109] It is to be noted that S131 involves:

[0110] a fitted curve relation model

[00003]$f\left(l\right)=\frac{a+\mathrm{bl}}{1+\mathrm{cl}+{\mathrm{dl}}^2}$

between driving currents of red, green and blue lights and color coordinate values, where I represents a magnitude of the driving current of the corresponding red, green or blue light, a, b, c and d are constants, and F is a corresponding color coordinate value; a formula of a red light current and a color coordinate x is WR.sub.x(I.sub.R), and a formula of the red light current and a color coordinate y is WR.sub.y (I .sub.R); a formula of a green light current and the color coordinate x is WG.sub.x(I.sub.G), and a formula of the green light current and the color coordinate y is WG.sub.y(I.sub.G); and a formula of a blue light current and the color coordinate x is WB.sub.x(I.sub.B), and a formula of the blue light current and the color coordinate y is WB.sub.y(I.sub.B).

[0111] In addition, in the red, green and blue lights, currents may change to consistent extent, and the extent of the influence on the projection plane illuminance is in a sequence of the green light>the red light>the blue light. A model L(I)=K.Math.I+m is used according to a linear relation of influence of current changes of the red, green and blue lights on the projection plane illuminance value in a certain range, where K and m are constants; and relations between current values of the red, green and blue lights and the projection plane illuminance value are LR(I.sub.R)−K.sub.R.Math.I.sub.R+m.sub.R, LG(I.sub.G)=K.sub.G.Math.I.sub.G+m.sub.G, LB(I.sub.B)−K.sub.B.Math.I.sub.B+m.sub.B respectively.

[0112] Color coordinates of the projection apparatus before brightness adjustment are set as (x.sub.0, y.sub.0) and the projection plane illuminance value is set as L.sub.0, where target color coordinates after adjustment are (x.sub.t, y.sub.t), a target projection plane illuminance value is L.sub.t, and the projection apparatus is corrected for color balance before leaving factories, so conditions of x.sub.0=x.sub.t and y.sub.0=y.sub.t are met.

[0113] Currents of the red, green and blue lights before adjustment are recorded as I.sub.R0, I.sub.G0 and I.sub.B0 respectively and the currents of the red, green and blue lights after adjustment are recorded as I.sub.Rt, I.sub.Gt and I.sub.Bt respectively, where current changes of the red, green and blue lights are: ΔI.sub.R=I.sub.R0−I.sub.Rt, ΔI.sub.G=I.sub.G0−I.sub.Gt and ΔI.sub.B=I.sub.B0=I.sub.Bt respectively.

[0114] After a change of the red light current: an X color coordinate change is: ΔWR.sub.x−WR.sub.x(I.sub.R0)−WR.sub.x(I.sub.Rt), and a y coordinate change is: ΔWR.sub.y−WR.sub.y(I.sub.R0)−WR.sub.y(I.sub.Rt);

[0115] after a change of the green light current: an X color coordinate change is: ΔWG.sub.x=WG.sub.x(I.sub.G0)−WG.sub.x(I.sub.Gt), and a y coordinate change is: ΔWG.sub.y=WG.sub.y(I.sub.G0)−WG.sub.y(I.sub.Gt); and

[0116] after a change of the blue light current: an x color coordinate change is: ΔWB.sub.x=WB.sub.x(I.sub.B0)−WB.sub.x(I.sub.Bt), and a y coordinate change is: ΔWB.sub.y=WB.sub.y(I.sub.B0)−WB.sub.y(I.sub.B).

[0117] After the change of the red light current, a change of the projection plane illuminance value is: ΔLG=K.sub.R.Math.(I −I );

[0118] after the change of the green light current, a change of the projection plane illuminance value is: ΔLG=K.sub.G.Math.(I.sub.G0−I.sub.G1); and

[0119] after the change of the blue light current, a change of the projection plane illuminance value is: ΔLB−K.sub.B.Math.(I.sub.B0−I.sub.B1).

[0120] The color coordinates before and after brightness adjustment are unchanged and satisfy: x.sub.t=x.sub.0: y.sub.t=y.sub.0:=>

ΔWR.sub.x+ΔWG.sub.x+ΔWB.sub.x=0,   {circle around (1)}

[0121] The projection plane illuminance value satisfies:

[00004]$\begin{array}{cc}{L}_t=L_0\Delta \mathrm{LR}.Math.\Delta \mathrm{LG}.Math.\Delta \mathrm{LB};& 3\end{array}$

[0122] where I.sub.R0, I.sub.G0, I.sub.B0, L.sub.t and L.sub.0 are all known conditions, and the equations {circle around (1)}{circle around (2)}{circle around (3)} are solved to obtain target current values I.sub.Rt, I.sub.Gt and I.sub.Bt of the red, green and blue lights. A driving current control component of the projection apparatus is used to adjust to a target current, and when an area of the projection plane is unchanged, the projection illuminance is changed, so as to change the brightness of the projection apparatus.

[0123] It is to be noted that S133 includes:

[0124] the relation function H(S)=w.Math.S.sup.2+v.Math.S+o between the projection plane illuminance value and the optical zoom factor is obtained, where H∈(−1,1), S is a zoom factor, and w, v and o are constants;

[0125] a required zoom factor S is computed according to H(S)=(A.sub.t−A.sub.0)/A.sub.0 when the projection plane illuminance value is A.sub.0 under the condition that a target projection plane illuminance value is A.sub.t and the zoom factor is not adjusted; and

[0126] an electric motor is controlled to drive the projection apparatus to adjust to the required zoom factor S.

[0127] Alternatively, the brightness is adjusted mainly according to: the luminous component driving current, Duty, a data source signal, the optical zoom factor and the aperture size. In the technical solution of the disclosure, firstly, the luminous component driving current is adjusted, illuminance of the projection picture is improved while a size of the projection picture is unchanged, and the projection brightness is improved; then, when brightness of the projection picture reaches a maximum level and cannot be continuously improved, the illuminance of the projection picture is improved by adjusting the optical zoom factor of a lens, which forms a contrast with projection ambient background brightness, so as to guarantee display details of the projection picture. The two methods are simpler, easy to operate, take effect quickly after adjustment, and have least influence on image quality.

[0128] Due to limitation of a maximum luminous intensity of the projection apparatus, when the brightness is adjusted, the required projection brightness still cannot be reached under the maximum driving current. In this case, the optical zoom factor may be changed through a design of driving a hardware connector (a gear, a belt or a screw) by a motor drive component, so as to change a projection ratio and improve the projection plane illuminance during viewing of a user. To reach expected optical zoom after adjustment, realize short debugging time and avoid switching of operations, it is necessary to establish a function model in advance. A model establishment component, that is, a method that the relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the optical zoom factor is obtained includes:

[0129] (1) a projection plane illuminance value, which is recorded as A.sub.0, in the darkroom environment and at a fixed projection distance (a common distance of a user device) when the zoom factor is not adjusted is measured;

[0130] (2) the optical zoom factor is adjusted to S.sub.1, the projection plane illuminance value is measured as A.sub.1, a change percentage

[00005]$H_1=\frac{A_1-A_{11}}{A_0}$

of the projection plane illuminance value of the projection apparatus is computed, so as to obtain data (S.sub.1,H.sub.1);

[0131] (3) the steps in (2) are repeated to obtain (S.sub.2, H.sub.2), (S.sub.3, H.sub.3), . . . (S.sub.n, H.sub.n); and

[0132] (4) a least square method is used to fit a data set obtained in (3), and the relation function H(S)=w.Math.S.sup.2+v.Math.S+o between the projection plane illuminance value and the optical zoom factor is obtained, where H∈(−1,1), S is a zoom factor, and w, v and o are constants.

[0133] The target projection plane illuminance value is A.sub.t, the projection plane illuminance value A.sub.0 is substituted into the relation function when the zoom factor is not adjusted, the required zoom factor S is computed, the electric motor is controlled for driving to adjust the zoom factor to the required zoom factor, and then a camera is used for auto-focusing, so as to guarantee unchanged clarity of the projection picture.

[0134] In the embodiment provided in the disclosure, during work of the projection apparatus, the ambient illuminance and the projection distance are continuously measured by sensors so as to adjust the brightness of the projection apparatus under the following conditions: (1) when ambient light or a distance changes, target brightness is computed and the brightness is adjusted to the target brightness by means of the curve relation of the relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value; and (2) ambient light brightness remains unchanged or changes little, but the projection distance changes. Two adjustment methods may be selected: {circle around (1)} Whether the projection apparatus is still in motion is determined by a gyroscope, and when the projection apparatus is static, computation and brightness adjustment are conducted by means of the curve relation of the relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value. {circle around (2)} During motion of the projection apparatus, the ambient light and brightness are continuously collected, and computation and brightness adjustment for the projection apparatus are conducted by means of the curve relation of the relation function between the projection plane illuminance value and the ambient illuminance value as well as the projection distance value.

[0135] Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has the specific beneficial effects as follows: in the disclosure, ambient illuminance and a projection distance of the projection apparatus are obtained by controlling an illuminance sensor and a distance sensor, and a functional relationship between the ambient illuminance, projection plane illuminance and the projection distance is found through analysis and modeling of a large amount of data. In an actual projection process, the ambient illuminance and the projection distance of the projection apparatus during working are collected by sensors, and appropriate brightness of the projection apparatus may be computed and the projection apparatus may adjust to the appropriate brightness; and moreover, stability of color points is guaranteed, and viewing experience of users is improved. Since there is no need for human intervention, a whole process is automatically completed in extremely short time, and the disclosure is suitable for being widely popularized.
