Description

Beschreibungdescription
Mobiltelefon mit bewegungsabhängiger Display-DarstellungMobile phone with motion-dependent display
Die Erfindung betrifft ein mobiles Endgerät gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a mobile terminal according to the preamble of claim 1.
Solche mobile Endgeräte sind beispielsweise Mobiltelefone, sogenannte Handys oder auch PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) und Palm-Tops.Such mobile devices are, for example, cell phones, so-called cell phones or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) and palm tops.
Die Schnittstelle zum Benutzer (user interface) beziehungsweise die Bedieneinrichtung dieser Geräte ist wichtig für die Bedienfreundlichkeit und Akzeptanz . Die Bedieneinrichtung weist im Allgemeinen eine Anzeigeeinrichtung und eine Tastatur auf.The interface to the user (user interface) or the operating device of these devices is important for ease of use and acceptance. The operating device generally has a display device and a keyboard.
Die Bedieneinrichtung ermöglicht beispielsweise bei einem Mobiltelefon das Führen von ankommenden und abgehenden Telefo- naten, den Zugriff, die Speicherung und Bearbeitung von im Handy gespeicherten Informationen.The operating device enables, for example, the routing of incoming and outgoing telephone calls, the access, the storage and processing of information stored in the cell phone in a cell phone.
Hierzu weist das Mobiltelefon Menüs auf, über die ein Benutzer Zugriff auf die verschiedenen zur Verfügung stehenden Ap- plikationen und Anwendungen des Gerätes hat. Normalerweise ist das Telefon mit einem Telfon- oder Adressbuch ausgestattet, in dem die entsprechenden Daten sowie zusätzliche nützliche Informationen der Teilnehmer gespeichert sind.For this purpose, the mobile phone has menus through which a user has access to the various applications and applications available for the device. The telephone is usually equipped with a telephone or address book, in which the relevant data and additional useful information of the subscribers are stored.
Die Bedienoberfläche muss es dem Benutzer ermöglichen, auf all die unterschiedlichen Anwendungen jederzeit und unter allen möglichen Randbedingungen zugreifen zu können.The user interface must enable the user to access all the different applications at any time and under all possible conditions.
Wenn der Benutzer eines solchen mobilen Endgerätes seh in Be- wegung befindet, sei es beim Laufen, Joggen oder einer anderen Bewegungsart, so hat er Schwierigkeiten bei der Bedienung. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, bei den eingangs genannten Geräten die Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu erhöhen.If the user of such a mobile terminal is visibly in motion, be it while running, jogging or any other type of movement, he has difficulty using it. The invention is based on the object of increasing the user-friendliness in the devices mentioned at the outset.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
Das erfindungsgemäße Endgerät ermöglicht einem in Bewegung befindlichen Benutzer eine komfortablere Bedienung des Gerä- tes . Er tut sich auf Grund der vergrösserten Darstellung leichter bei der Koordination von Kopf- und Körperbewegung bei der Erkennung der Schrift beziehungsweise Icons und sonstigen zur Bedienung dargestellten Symbole. Dies verhindert letztlich eine Überbeanspruchung der Augen und andere Proble- me, erhöht den Komfort und stellt eine ergonomische Lösung dar.The terminal device according to the invention enables a user who is in motion to operate the device more comfortably. Due to the enlarged display, it is easier to coordinate head and body movement when recognizing the font or icons and other symbols displayed for operation. Ultimately, this prevents eye strain and other problems, increases comfort and is an ergonomic solution.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment.
Die Grundidee der Erfindung beruht auf einer bewegungsange- passten, oder genauer auf einer bewegungszustandsangepassten Bedieneinrichtung des mobilen Endgerätes . Hierzu finden beispielsweise Mittel zur Beschleunigungsmessung Verwendung, die vorzugsweise im Gerät integriert sind.The basic idea of the invention is based on an operating device of the mobile terminal that is adapted to the movement, or more precisely, an operating device that is adapted to the movement state. For this purpose, means for acceleration measurement are used, for example, which are preferably integrated in the device.
Solche Beschleunigungsaufnehmer sind bei sogenannte Pedome- tern eingesetzt. Die Ausgestaltung der Messeinrichtung ist für die Erfindung von untergeordneter Bedeutung und dem Fach- mann bekannt.Accelerometers of this type are used in so-called pedometers. The design of the measuring device is of minor importance for the invention and is known to the person skilled in the art.
Zur Anpassung insbesondere einer Anzeigeeinrichtung beziehungsweise eines Displays des Endgerätes wird beispielsweise der Bewegungszustand ermittelt. Hierzu werden beispielsweise in einem Handy die Daten des Beschleunigungsaufnehmers ausgewertet. Die Datenabfrage erfolgt beispielsweise in einem Scan-Prozess nach vorgegebenen Intervallen. Wenn eine, vorzugsweise länger anhaltende Bewegung erkannt wird, so wird die Grosse der Darstellung der Objekte auf dem Display vergrössert. Unter Objekten sind hierbei alphanumeri- sehe Zeichen, Icons u. a. m. zu verstehen. So sind beispielsweise die auf einem Touchscreen vergrössert dargestellten I- cons leichter auch in einer Bewegungsphase mit einem Finger oder auch einem Stift zu treffen.The movement state is determined, for example, to adapt a display device or a display of the terminal. For this purpose, for example, the data of the accelerometer are evaluated in a cell phone. The data query takes place, for example, in a scan process at predetermined intervals. If a movement, preferably of longer duration, is recognized, the size of the representation of the objects on the display is increased. Objects are to be understood as alphanumeric characters, icons, etc. For example, the I-cons, which are shown enlarged on a touchscreen, are easier to hit with a finger or a stylus even in a movement phase.
Auf die Unterscheidung von anhaltender beziehungsweise länger anhaltender Bewegung und kurzzeitiger Bewegung beziehungsweise ruckartigen Bewegung wir später eingegangen.We will deal with the distinction between persistent or longer-lasting movement and short-term movement or jerky movement later.
Wenn, wiederum vorzugsweise über eine längere Zeit, ein bewe- gungsloser Zustand erkannt wird, so wird die Anzeige auf die ursprünglich vom Benutzer oder vom Gerät vorgegebene Zeichen- grösse zurückgesetzt.If a motionless state is recognized, again preferably over a longer period of time, the display is reset to the character size originally specified by the user or by the device.
Bei einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Vergrösserung der Objekte beziehungsweise Zeichen in Abhängigkeit von derIn one embodiment of the invention, the magnification of the objects or characters can be dependent on the
Stärke oder Heftigkeit der erkannten Bewegung erfolgen. Hierbei bestimmt die erkante Bewegungsstärke den Änderungshub bei der Anpassung.Strength or intensity of the detected movement occur. The detected level of movement determines the change stroke during adaptation.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung erfolgt die Grössenän- derung in Abhängigkeit der erkannten Bewegungsrichtung. So wird beispielsweise beim Laufen, durch die erkannte Auf- und Abbewegung, die Darstellung auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung vergrössert. Bei einer nur in seitlicher Richtung erfolgenden Bewegung beziehungsweise Beschleunigung, beispielsweise beim Kurvenfahren mit dem Fahrrad, erfolgt keine Displayanpassung. Dies erscheint auch nicht unbedingt notwendig, da Kopf und Körper sich sozusagen synchron bewegen und somit keine Relativbewegung stattfindet.In a further development of the invention, the size is changed as a function of the detected direction of movement. For example, when running, the detected up and down movement enlarges the display on the display device. If there is movement or acceleration only in the lateral direction, for example when cornering on a bicycle, there is no display adjustment. This does not appear to be absolutely necessary either, since the head and body move synchronously, so to speak, and therefore there is no relative movement.
Die Bewegungsanpassung der Anzeigeeinrichtung kann bei einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch, gegebenenfalls zu- sätzlich zur Grössenänderung, durch eine Anpassung des Kontrastes oder der Helligkeit erfolgen. Eine Anpassung der Helligkeit ist auch bei der Beleuchtung einer Tastatur möglich. Des weiteren sind Grossen- Kontrast- und / oder Helligkeits- anpassung bei den sogenannten Displaytasten oder Softkeys hilfreich.In a further embodiment of the invention, the movement adjustment of the display device can also, if necessary, in addition to resizing, by adjusting the contrast or brightness. The brightness can also be adjusted when illuminating a keyboard. Furthermore, size, contrast and / or brightness adjustment with the so-called display keys or softkeys are helpful.
Durch eine entsprechende Wahl der Abtastzeitpunkte beim Scan- Prozess beziehungsweise bei der Wahl der Intervalle für die Entscheidung auf einen bewegten oder bewegungslosen Zustand werden kurzzeitige beziehungsweise ruckartige Bewegungen ignoriert. Eine Anpassung des User Interface erfolgt vorzugsweise bei anhaltenden, vergleichsweise gleichförmigen Bewegungen mit einem entsprechenden Beschleunigungsverhalten. A corresponding choice of the sampling times during the scanning process or the choice of the intervals for the decision on a moving or motionless state ignores short-term or jerky movements. The user interface is preferably adapted in the case of continuous, comparatively uniform movements with a corresponding acceleration behavior.
