Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile terminal (MF) used in communications technology and/or data processing technology comprising a display device (AE). According to the invention, a position sensor is provided for detecting the position of the terminal (MF) with regard to a preferred direction (P), and means are provided for aligning the content (I), which is presented on the display device (AE), with the preferred direction (P).
Description
Beschreibungdescription
Mobilfunkgerätmobile device
Die Erfindung betrifft ein mobiles Endgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a mobile terminal according to the preamble of the claim.
Ein solches Endgerät der Kommunikationstechnik ist beispielsweise ein Mobilfunkgerät oder ein Mobilteil in einer Schnur- los-Telefonanlage. Als Endgeräte der Datenverarbeitungs- Technik sind insbesondere Palmtops und Organizer zu verstehen.Such a terminal in communication technology is, for example, a mobile radio device or a handset in a cordless telephone system. Terminal devices used in data processing technology are in particular palmtops and organizers.
Insbesondere bei Mobilfunkgeräten werden die Anzeigeeinrich- tungen größer, damit auch Inhalte aus dem Internet übersichtlich dargestellt werden können. Für die Darstellung einer Telefonnummer beziehungsweise der Symbole für einen Verbindungsaufbau reicht ein vergleichsweise kleines Anzeigedisplay beziehungsweise der obere Teil einer Anzeigeeinrichtung im Hochformat. Bei der Verwendung eines integrierten Organizers wäre meist ein Display im Querformat hilfreich.In the case of mobile radio devices in particular, the display devices are larger so that content from the Internet can also be clearly displayed. A comparatively small display display or the upper part of a display device in portrait format is sufficient for displaying a telephone number or the symbols for establishing a connection. When using an integrated organizer, a display in landscape format would usually be helpful.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Benutzung eines Endgerätes der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the use of a terminal of the type mentioned.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im unabhängigen Patentanspruch angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the independent claim.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben.The invention is described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Endgerät der Kommunikationstechnik oder Datenverarbeitungs-Technik. Diese Geräte weisen eine Anzeigeeinrichtung auf, sowie in vielen Varianten eine kleinere oder größere Tastatur.
In der einzigen FIG 1 ist ein Mobilfunkgerät MF in drei verschiedenen Positionen dargestellt. Durch einen Pfeil P ist jeweils eine Vorzugsrichtung angegeben, die hier nach unten beziehungsweise zu einer nicht dargestellten Bodenfläche weist. Das Mobilfunkgerät MF weist eine Anzeigeeinrichtung AE mit einem dargestellten Icon I sowie eine nicht näher bezeichnete Tastatur auf. Die linke Darstellung des Mobilfunkgerätes MF in FIG 1 zeigt die normale Bedienposition, in der die Anzeigeeinrichtung AE oben und die Tastatur unterhalb derselben angeordnet ist. Oben und unten sind dabei in Bezug zur Vorzugsrichtung (siehe Pfeil P) zu verstehen.The invention relates to a terminal device for communication technology or data processing technology. These devices have a display device and, in many variants, a smaller or larger keyboard. 1 shows a mobile radio device MF in three different positions. An arrow P indicates a preferred direction, which points downwards or to a floor surface, not shown. The mobile radio device MF has a display device AE with an illustrated icon I and a keyboard (not specified). The left representation of the mobile radio device MF in FIG. 1 shows the normal operating position in which the display device AE is arranged at the top and the keyboard below it. Above and below are to be understood in relation to the preferred direction (see arrow P).
Bei der Benutzung des Mobilfunkgerätes MF kann es für eine bessere Darstellung des Bildinhaltes erforderlich sein, das Gerät um 90 ° zu verdrehen, wie in der rechten Darstellung gezeigt. Wie in der mittleren und der rechten Darstellung in FIG 1 zu ersehen, dreht sich bei einer Verdrehung der Anzeigeeinrichtung AE erfindungsgemäß das dargestellte Icon I nicht mit. Das Icon I beziehungsweise ein auf der Anzeigeein- richtung AE dargestellter Inhalt behält seinen Bezug zur Vorzugsrichtung unverändert bei.When using the mobile radio device MF, it may be necessary for a better display of the image content to rotate the device by 90 °, as shown in the illustration on the right. As can be seen in the middle and the right-hand illustration in FIG. 1, when the display device AE is rotated, the icon I shown does not rotate according to the invention. The icon I or a content displayed on the display device AE remains unchanged in relation to the preferred direction.
Zur Durchführung der Erfindung weist das Mobilfunkgerät MF einen Lagesensor (nicht dargestellt) auf, der insbesondere die Lage beziehungsweise Position der Anzeigeeinrichtung AE in Bezug zum Boden, das heisst zur Vorzugsrichtung (Pfeil P) erfasst. Bei einer Drehung der Anzeigeeinrichtung AE kontrolliert dieser Sensor mit einer Auswertestufe das Icon I, so dass dieses seine Lage in Bezug zur Vorzugsrichtung beibe- hält.To carry out the invention, the mobile radio device MF has a position sensor (not shown) which, in particular, detects the position or position of the display device AE in relation to the ground, that is to say to the preferred direction (arrow P). When the display device AE rotates, this sensor checks the icon I with an evaluation stage so that it maintains its position in relation to the preferred direction.
Solche Lagesensoren werden beispielsweise bei Spiegelreflexkameras eingesetzt, und dienen dort zur Umschaltung der Auto- focus-Messcharakteristik.
Such position sensors are used, for example, in SLR cameras, and are used there to switch over the auto-focus measurement characteristic.
