This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and provides ambient light and optical proximity detection methods, a photographing method, and a terminal, so that an entire display screen of the terminal is used to display a user interface, and this improves user experience. The method specifically includes: controlling, by a terminal, some areas of a display screen to display a black picture for a plurality of times; and when the areas display the black picture, obtaining an intensity of ambient light detected by an ambient light sensor to adjust luminance of the display screen.

Ambient light and proximity detection method, photographing method, and terminal

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and provides ambient light and optical proximity detection methods, a photographing method, and a terminal, so that an entire display screen of the terminal is used to display a user interface, and this improves user experience. The method specifically includes: controlling, by a terminal, some areas of a display screen to display a black picture for a plurality of times; and when the areas display the black picture, obtaining approaching data of the external object detected by an optical proximity sensor to control turning on or off of the display screen.

A method for detecting ambient light by a terminal is provided. The method includes displaying a black picture for at least two times in a first area of a display area of a display screen of a terminal, displaying an image frame picture in a second area of the display area when the black picture is displayed in the first area, displaying the image frame picture in the first area in an interval between displaying the black picture in the first area for two times, and obtaining, by the terminal, an intensity of ambient light, wherein the intensity of the ambient light is detected by a first ambient light sensor when the first area displays the black.
