Abstract
A method of controlling a portable communications device with an image projecting capability includes: controlling an image projecting unit to project an output screen of an application program, and controlling a touch control display unit to display an operation interface set up according to characteristics of the application program; and in response to actuation of the operation interface, controlling the image projecting unit such that the output screen projected thereby is a result of interaction between the operation interface and the application program.
Claims16
A method of controlling a portable communications device with an image projecting capability, the portable communications device including an image projecting unit and a touch control display unit, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) controlling the image projecting unit to project an output screen of an application program, and controlling the touch control display unit to display an operation interface set up according to characteristics of the application program;
- and
- b) in response to actuation of the operation interface, controlling the image projecting unit such that the output screen projected thereby is a result of interaction between the operation interface and the application program.
A method of controlling a portable communications device with an image projecting capability, the portable communications device including an image projecting unit and a touch control display unit, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) configuring the portable communications device to operate in one of an image projecting mode and an interactive mode;
- b) when the portable communications device is operated in the image projecting mode, controlling the image projecting unit to project an output screen of an application program, and controlling the touch control display unit to display the output screen projected by the image projecting unit;
- and
- c) when the portable communications device is operated in the interactive mode, controlling the touch control display unit to display an operation interface set up according to characteristics of the application program, and, in response to actuation of the operation interface, controlling the image projecting unit such that the output screen projected thereby is a result of interaction between the operation interface and the application program.
A portable communications device with image projecting capability, comprising:
- a control unit;
- a memory unit coupled to said control unit for storing an application program and an interface program;
- an image projecting unit coupled to and controlled by said control unit for projecting an output screen of the application program when said control unit executes the application program;
- and
- a touch control display unit coupled to and controlled by said control unit to display an operation interface set up according to characteristics of the application program when said control unit executes the interface program;
- wherein said control unit is responsive to actuation of said operation interface so as to control said image projecting unit such that the output screen projected thereby is a result of interaction between said operation interface and the application program.
