description The disclosure describes a system and method for controlling a light for a component of an electronic device. An embodiment uses brightness evaluation zones and progresses through one or more of the zones to determine whether and when to activate the light for given conditions of ambient light. In doing so, the embodiment sets a current brightness evaluation zone for the device and sets an activation status of the light level to an activation value associated with the current brightness evaluation zone. The embodiment compares an ambient light level for the device to the current brightness evaluation zone. Evaluation loops are provided to test and change the current brightness evaluation zone against the detected ambient light. The light may be a backlight. Linvention concerne un système et une méthode pour contrôler une lumière dun composant dun dispositif électronique. Un mode de réalisation utilise des zones dévaluation de la brillance et les progrès au travers dune ou plusieurs des zones pour déterminer sil faut activer la lumière pour des conditions données de lumière ambiante et quand il faut le faire. En faisant cela, le mode de réalisation règle une zone dévaluation de la brillance actuelle pour le dispositif et règle le statut du niveau de lumière à une valeur dactivation associée à la zone dévaluation de la brillance actuelle. Le mode de réalisation compare un niveau de lumière ambiante pour le dispositif à la zone dévaluation de la brillance actuelle. Des boucles dévaluation sont fournies pour vérifier et modifier la zone dévaluation de la brillance actuelle par rapport à la lumière ambiante détectée. La lumière peut être un rétroéclairage.
