摘要： A method is set forth for automatically adjusting keypad brightness on a mobile electronic device having a light sensor, a keypad and a backlight for said keypad, comprising obtaining light level samples from the light sensor, turning the backlight from off to on in the event a current light level sample is less than a threshold value below which backlight illumination becomes necessary in order to read the keypad, and from off to on after a predetermined time period in the event the current light level sample is greater than the threshold value.

摘要： An input device includes an array of keys and an illumination system. Each key comprises a key face that is configured for transmission of light. The illumination system includes a light guide disposed below the keys, a plurality of lamps mounted to the light guide, and a lamp controller electrically coupled to the lamps. The light guide is configured to illuminate the key faces via the lamps. The lamp controller is configured to repeatedly illuminate the lamps each for a respective on-time interval of a common illumination period. The location of the lamps and the illumination period and each said on-time interval are selected for the visual appearance of continuous substantially uniform illumination of the array of keys.

摘要： A system and method for optically identifying a component coupled to an electronic device is provided. The method includes emitting light from within the device toward a surface of a component connector inserted into a receiving socket of the device. A light sensor senses the intensity, amplitude or wavelength of light reflected from a surface of the component connector. A processor of the device identifies the component based on the intensity, amplitude or wavelength of light reflected from a surface of the component connector. The processor modifies at least one setting of the electronic device in response to the identification of the component.
