The electronic display device calculates an area of the user in the image of the user and calculates an area ratio of the area of the user in the image of the user to a predefined value. The electronic display device provides a plurality of user interfaces and a plurality of ratio scopes corresponding to the plurality of user interfaces, and selects one of the plurality of user interfaces corresponding to one of the plurality of ratio scopes according to the area ratio located to display the one of the plurality of user interfaces on the screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic display device, comprising: at least one processor; a screen displaying a user interface; a camera acquiring an image of a user in front of the screen; a storage system storing a plurality of user interfaces and a plurality of ratio scopes corresponding to the plurality of user interfaces; one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising: a calculating module calculating an area of the user in the image of the user and calculating an area ratio of the area of the user in the image of the user to a predefined value; a selecting module selecting one of the plurality of user interfaces corresponding to one of the plurality of ratio scopes according to the area ratio, to display the one of the plurality of user interfaces on the screen. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the image of the user acquired by the camera is the image of the face of the user and the area of the user calculated by the calculating module is an area of the face of the user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the image of the user acquired by the camera is the image of the eyes of the user and the area of the user calculated by the calculating module is an area of the eyes of the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the camera further acquires a plurality of images of a plurality of users in front of the screen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the calculating module calculates an average value of the areas of the plurality of images of the plurality of users and calculates an area ratio of the average value to the predefined value. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of user interfaces comprise a brief user interface, a normal user interface, and an detailed user interface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The electronic display device as claimed in claim 6, wherein a first ratio scope corresponding to the brief user interface is smaller than or equal to a first threshold, a second ratio scope corresponding to the normal user interface is between the first threshold and a second threshold, and a third ratio scope corresponding to the detailed user interface is larger than or equal to the second threshold, wherein the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold. ### Claim 8 A method for adjusting a user interface displayed on a screen of an electronic display device, comprising: providing a plurality of user interfaces and a plurality of ratio scopes corresponding to the plurality of user interfaces; acquiring an image of a user in front of the screen; calculating an area of the user in the image of the user and calculating an area ratio of the area of the user in the image of the user to a predefined value; and selecting one of the plurality of user interfaces corresponding to one of the plurality of ratio scopes according to the area ratio to display the one of the plurality of user interfaces on the screen. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising: acquiring an image of the face of the user; calculating an area of the face in the image of the face of the user and calculating an area ratio of the area of the face to the predefined value. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising: acquiring an image of an eye of the user; calculating an area of the eye in the image of the eye of the user and calculating an area ratio of the area of the eye to the predefined value. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising: acquiring a plurality of images of a plurality of users in front of the screen; calculating an average value of the plurality of images of the plurality of users and calculating an area ratio of the average value to the predefined value. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising: providing a brief user interface, a normal user interface and a detailed user interface, and providing a first ratio scope, a second ratio scope, and a third ratio scope, wherein the brief user interface corresponds to the first ratio scope that is smaller than or equal to a first threshold value, and the normal user interface corresponds to the second ratio scope that is between the first threshold and a second threshold, and the detailed user interface corresponds to the third ratio scope that is larger than or equal to the second threshold value, and the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold.
