APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING PICTURE IN PORTABLE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. An apparatus for displaying a picture in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a display unit for displaying one of state information and an indicator generated during an operation of the portable terminal, a limited number of numerals and characters, moving pictures, and still pictures;
an illumination sensor for measuring an external brightness;
a visibility decider for identifying a visibility color quality that is a preset color quality corresponding to the external brightness measured by the illumination sensor; and
a controller for, upon sensing generation of a visibility control event, identifying, by the visibility decider, the visibility color quality corresponding to the external brightness measured by the illumination sensor, and controlling and altering a currently set color quality into the identified visibility color quality for an output to the display unit.

Abstract
Provided is an apparatus and method for displaying a picture in a portable terminal. The method includes identifying a visibility color quality corresponding to the external brightness upon sensing of generation of a visibility control event, identifying external brightness, identifying a set color quality that is a color quality currently output to a display unit, comparing whether the visibility color quality is equal to the set color quality, and altering the set color quality into the visibility color quality when the comparison result is that the visibility color quality is not equal to the set color quality.

19. A computer readable code on a computer readable medium for displaying a picture, the code comprising:
-
a first code for identifying an external brightness when sensing a generation of a visibility control event; a second code for identifying a visibility color quality corresponding to the external brightness; a third code for identifying a set color quality that is a color quality currently output to a display unit; a fourth code for comparing whether the visibility color quality is equal to the set color quality; and a fifth code for altering the set color quality into the visibility color quality when the comparison result is that the visibility color quality is not equal to the set color quality.
