Abstract

A displaying method for a portable device under a standby condition is provided. The portable device includes a display unit displaying a first standby frame. The method includes steps of sensing a physical motion of the portable device. Then, the physical motion is identified as an operation command. Finally, according to the operation command, a corresponding operation is executed to change the first standby frame displayed on the display unit.

Claims

1. A displaying method for a portable device under a standby condition, wherein the portable device has a display unit displaying a first standby frame, the displaying method comprising:

sensing a physical motion of the portable device; and

executing an operation according to the physical motion so that the first standby frame is changed under the standby condition.

2. The displaying method according to claim 1, wherein the operation comprises displaying an information frame or a second standby frame.

3. The displaying method according to claim 2, wherein the information frame comprises a missed call information frame, a new message information frame, and an event reminder information frame.

4. The displaying method according to claim 2, wherein the second standby frame is a multiple-dimensional image displaying the first standby frame at a viewing angle.

5. The displaying method according to claim 4, wherein the viewing angle is related to a motion angle of the physical motion.

6. The displaying method according to claim 1, wherein the standby condition comprises a keypad-locked condition and a screen-locked condition.

7. The displaying method according to claim 1, wherein the physical motion comprises rotating the portable device around an axis of the portable device with an angle.

8. A display control module, suitable for a portable device having a display unit, comprising:

a motion sensing device, sensing a physical motion of the portable device while the portable device is under a standby condition, wherein the display unit displays a first standby frame under the standby condition; and

a command operating module, executing an operation corresponding to the physical motion, and changing the first standby frame displayed on the display unit of the portable device under the standby condition.

9. The display control module according to claim 8, wherein the operation comprises displaying an information frame or a second standby frame.

10. The display control module according to claim 9, wherein the information frame comprises a missed call information frame, a new message information frame, and an event reminder information frame.

11. The display control module according to claim 9, wherein the second standby frame is a multiple-dimensional image displaying the first standby frame at a viewing angle.

12. The display control module according to claim 11, wherein the viewing angle is related to a motion angle of the physical motion.

13. The display control module according to claim 8, wherein the standby condition comprises a keypad-locked condition and a screen-locked condition.

14. The display control module according to claim 8, wherein the physical motion comprises rotating the portable device around an axis of the portable device with an angle.

15. The display control module according to claim 8, wherein the motion sensing device comprises a gravity sensing device.

16. A displaying method, suitable for a portable device under a standby condition, wherein the portable device has a display unit displaying a first standby frame, the displaying method comprising:

sensing a physical motion of the portable device; and

changing the first standby frame displayed on the display unit to a multiple-dimensional image of the first standby frame at a viewing angle.

17. The displaying method according to claim 16, wherein the viewing angle is related to a motion angle of the physical motion.

18. The displaying method according to claim 16, further comprising changing the first standby frame displayed on the display unit of the portable device under standby condition according to the physical motion.

19. The displaying method according to claim 18, wherein the information frame comprises a missed call information frame, a new message information frame, and an event reminder information frame.

20. The displaying method according to claim 16, wherein the standby condition comprises a keypad-locked condition and a screen-locked condition.
