Abstract

The present invention relates to adjusting a display of a mobile communications terminal. The present invention detects a user'"'"'s voice data, wherein the user'"'"'s voice data corresponds to image data displayed on the display. The user'"'"'s eyesight level is then determined based on the detected user'"'"'s voice data and preset reference data. Accordingly, the display is adjusted based on the determined eyesight level.

Claims

1. An apparatus for adjusting a display of a mobile communications terminal, the apparatus comprising:

a voice recognition unit for detecting a user'"'"'s voice data, wherein the user'"'"'s voice data corresponds to image data displayed on the display;

a controller for determining a user'"'"'s eyesight level based on the detected user'"'"'s voice data and preset reference data, and for adjusting the display based on the determined eyesight level; and

a memory unit for storing the preset reference data.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the preset reference data comprises at least one of:

eyesight values;

font size values corresponding to the eyesight values;

image data preset according to the font size values; and

audio data corresponding to the image data.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein at least more than one preset image data exists for each eyesight value.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller determines the user'"'"'s eyesight level by comparing the user'"'"'s detected voice data with preset audio data corresponding to the displayed image data.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the image data is displayed in a state where a preset distance between the mobile communications terminal and the user is maintained.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the preset distance is 30 cm.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller allows the user to read the displayed image data within a preset time.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the preset time is 3 seconds.

9. A method for adjusting a display of a mobile communications terminal, the method comprising:

detecting a user'"'"'s voice data, wherein the user'"'"'s voice data corresponds to image data displayed on the display;

determining a user'"'"'s eyesight level based on the detected user'"'"'s voice data and preset reference data; and

adjusting the display based on the determined eyesight level.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the preset reference data comprises at least one of:

eyesight values;

font size values corresponding to the eyesight values;

image data preset according to the font size values;

and audio data corresponding to the image data.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein at least more than one preset image data exists for each eyesight value.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of determining the user'"'"'s eyesight level comprises:

displaying image data corresponding to a preset eyesight value according to the user'"'"'s request to adjust the display;

detecting the user'"'"'s voice data for the displayed image data;

comparing the user'"'"'s detected voice data with preset audio data;

determining the number of times the user'"'"'s detected voice data is identical to the preset audio data; and

determining an eyesight value corresponding to the user'"'"'s detected voice data when the determined number of times the user'"'"'s detected voice data is identical to the preset audio data is the same as a predetermined number.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising displaying image data corresponding to an eyesight value decreased by a certain value when the user'"'"'s detected voice data is not identical to the preset audio data.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the predetermined number is at least more than one time.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising displaying another image data corresponding to the same eyesight value when the determined number of times the user'"'"'s detected voice data is identical to the preset audio data is not the same as the predetermined number.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of adjusting the display comprises:

confirming whether to automatically adjust the display according to the determined eyesight level; and

adjusting the corresponding display if the display is confirmed to be automatically adjusted.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising allowing the user to manually adjust the display if it is confirmed not to automatically adjust the display.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the image data is displayed in a state where a preset distance between the mobile communications terminal and the user is maintained.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the preset distance is 30 cm.

20. The method of claim 12, further comprising allowing the user to read the displayed image data within a preset time.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the preset time is 3 seconds.
