METHOD FOR BREAK REMINDER AND DISPLAY DEVICE USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A display device for break reminder, the display device comprising:
- a display unit being configured for outputting data comprising a message prompt;
a clock counter being configured for tracking a worked time and a rested time;
a distance estimator being configured for detecting if the display device is being used by a user, calculating a distance between the user and a front of the display device, comparing the distance with a predetermined distance, and generating a tracking signal if the distance is equal to or less than the predetermined distance; and
a central processing unit comprising;
an initialization module for waiting for the tracking signal, resetting the worked time and the rested time if the tracking signal is received; and
a work detection module for signaling the clock counter to track the worked time, comparing the worked time with a first predetermined time, and signaling the display unit to display the message prompt if the worked time is equal to or greater than the first predetermined time.

Abstract
The present invention provides method for break reminder and a display device. The display device includes a display unit; a clock counter; a distance estimator configured for detecting if the display device being used by a user, calculating distance between the user and a front of the display device, and generating a tracking signal if the distance is less than a predetermined distance; and a central processing unit configured for waiting for the tracking signal, resetting a worked time and a rested time when the tracking signal is received, signaling the clock counter to track the worked time, detecting if the worked time is less than a first predetermined time, and signaling the display unit to output the message prompt when the worked time is equal to or greater than the first predetermined time, thereby the present invention can prevent the user of the display device from fatigue.

7. A method for break reminder, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting if the display device is being used by the user in real-time; calculating a distance between the user and a front of the display device after the user is detected; comparing the distance with a predetermined distance; determining if the distance is equal to or less than the predetermined distance; generating a tracking signal if the distance is equal to or less than the predetermined distance; waiting for the tracking signal; resetting a worked time and a rested time if the tracking signal is received; tracking the worked time; detecting if the worked time is equal to or greater than a first predetermined time; and outputting the message prompt when the worked time is equal to or greater than the first predetermined time. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
