Abstract
A method for setting a display mode of a device according to facial features and an electronic device for the same are provided. The electronic device uses a camera unit to capture a facial image of a user for identifying facial organs. Then, a relative angle of the user's eyes viewing the image can be determined. After that, a turning signal can be provided according to an angle of the user's eyes viewing the image, and the state of the device. A display unit is driven to display a landscape mode image or a portrait mode image in response to the turning signal. Alternatively, a driving mechanism of the electronic device can be controlled and the electronic device is turned to a specific angle.
Claims3
A method for setting a display mode of device according to facial features, comprising:
- using a camera built in an electronic device which is a fixed device installed on a fixed position to capture a facial image of the user and positioning facial organs so as to determine positions of two eyes of a user;
- calculating a relative angle of viewing a display image being displayed on the electronic device through the two eyes of the user between a direction of a connection between the two eyes and a device direction of the electronic device;
- and
- generating, by a processor of the electronic device, a turning signal according to the relative angle with respect to the user's eyes and a state of the display image displayed on the electronic device;
- wherein the electronic device is driven by a driving mechanism to turn to a specific angle according to the turning signal, and the state of the display image displayed on the fixed device indicates a state of displaying the display image under a steady static state.
An electronic device that is a fixed device installed on a fixed position and operates a method for setting display mode of device according to facial features, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display unit being electrically connected with the processor and used to generate a display image;
- and
- a camera unit being electrically connected with the processor and used to capture a facial image of a user;
- wherein the processor performs the method for setting display mode of device according to the facial features, the method includes:
- using the camera unit to capture the facial image of the user and positioning facial organs so as to determine positions of two eyes of a user;
- calculating a relative angle of viewing the display image being displayed on the electronic device through the two eyes of the user between a direction of a connection between the two eyes and a device direction of the electronic device;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a turning signal according to the relative angle with respect to the user's eyes and a state of the display image displayed on the electronic device;
- wherein the electronic device is driven by a driving mechanism to turn to a specific angle when the processor receives the turning signal, and the state of the display image displayed on the fixed device indicates a state of displaying the display image under a steady static state.
