Abstract

A mobile communication device includes a case, a display module, at least one sliding track and a monitor adjusting key. The display module is disposed on the case and displays a display frame, which includes a first frame, a second frame and a separating line for separating the first frame from the second frame. The sliding track is disposed on one side of the case and near the display module. The monitor adjusting key is disposed on the sliding track to correspondingly control the separating line.

Claims

1. A mobile communication device, comprising:

a case;

a display module, which is disposed on the case and displays a display frame including a first frame, a second frame and a separating line for separating the first frame from the second frame;

at least one sliding track disposed on one side of the case and near the display module; and

a monitor adjusting key disposed on the sliding track, wherein the monitor adjusting key correspondingly controls the separating line.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the separating line is moved relative to a movement of the monitor adjusting key on the sliding track.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile communication device has two sliding tracks disposed on two opposite sides of the display module.

4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the monitor adjusting key crosses the display module and has a first end portion and a second end portion, and the first end portion and the second end portion are respectively disposed on the sliding tracks.

5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the monitor adjusting key covers the separating line.

6. The device according to claim 4, wherein the monitor adjusting key comprises a touch control area.

7. The device according to claim 1, further comprising an operation interface disposed on the case and near the display module.

8. The device according to claim 1, wherein the display module is a touch display module.

9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the mobile communication device is a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant.

10. A monitor adjusting method applied to a mobile communication device, which has a case, a display module, at least one sliding track and a monitor adjusting key, wherein the display module is disposed on the case, the display module displays a display frame, the display frame comprises a first frame, a second frame and a separating line for separating the first frame from the second frame, the sliding track is disposed on one side of the case and near the display module, the monitor adjusting key is disposed on the sliding track, and the monitor adjusting method comprises the steps of:

moving the monitor adjusting key on the sliding track, wherein the monitor adjusting key correspondingly controls the separating line to move the separating line according to the control of the monitor adjusting key;

when the separating line is moved toward the first frame according to the control of the monitor adjusting key, an area of the first frame of the display frame is scaled down, and an area of the second frame of the display frame is scaled up; and

when the separating line is moved toward the second frame according to the control of the monitor adjusting key, the area of the first frame of the display frame is scaled up, and the area of the second frame of the display frame is scaled down.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein when the area of the first frame is scaled down and the area of the second frame is scaled up, a display text or a display pattern on the first frame is relatively scaled down, and a display text or a display pattern on the second frame is relatively scaled up.

12. The method according to claim 10, wherein when the area of the first frame is scaled up and the area of the second frame is scaled down, a display text or a display pattern on the first frame is relatively scaled up, and a display text or a display pattern on the second frame is relatively scaled down.

13. The method according to claim 10, wherein the mobile communication device is a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
