Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a display screen adapted to display digital information and/or images in a first mode of operation of the device; an image sensor having a set of photosensitive cells adapted to capture at least one digital image in a second mode of operation of the device, wherein the image sensor comprises a processing unit configured to process digital image data of the at least one digital image in the second mode of operation before sending it to the control unit via a parallel data interface, and configured to generate the information representative of the brightness of the ambient light in the first mode of operation before sending the information to the control unit via a serial data interface; and, a control unit adapted to control at least one display parameter of the screen in the first mode of operation of the device, wherein the control unit is configured to adjust the display parameter of the screen on the basis of information representative of the brightness of ambient light obtained by at least a subset of the set of photosensitive cells of the image sensor.
