Abstract

An embedded system includes a display, an area positioning module, a background module, a content adapter, and a data sliding module. The area positioning module is configured to define a position and a size of a display area. The background module is configured to create a background layer corresponding to the display area. Color of the background layer gradually varies from a first end of the background layer to a middle of the background layer along a first direction. The content adapter is configured to provide the initialized date or time. The data sliding module is configured to create a sliding layer for displaying content. The sliding layer is substantially transparent; the data sliding module is further configured to control the sliding layer to slide along the first direction.

Claims

1. An embedded system comprising:

a display;

an area positioning module, the area positioning module configured to define a position and a size of a display area;

a background module, the background module configured to create a background layer corresponding to the display area, color of the background layer being gradually varied from a first end of the background layer to a middle of the background layer along a first direction;

a content adapter, the content adapter configured to provide an initialized date or time; and

a data sliding module, the data sliding module configured to create a sliding layer for displaying content, and the sliding layer is substantially transparent;

the data sliding module further configured to control the sliding layer to slide along the first direction.

2. The embedded system of claim 1, wherein color of the background layer varies from dark to light as the first end of the background layer extends to the middle of the background layer.

3. The embedded system of claim 2, wherein the background layer comprises a first part, a second part connected to the first part, and a third part connected to the second part, and color of the first part gradually varies from dark to light along the first direction and color of the third part gradually varies from dark to light a second direction, that is opposite to the first direction.

4. The embedded system of claim 1, wherein the background layer comprises a second end, and color of the background layer varies from dark to light as the second end of the background layer moves to the middle of the background layer.

5. The embedded system of claim 1, wherein the area positioning module is further configured to store the position and the size to an extensible markup language file.

6. A content adjusting method comprising:

defining a position and a size of a display area of a display;

creating a background layer in the display area, color of the background layer being gradually varied from a first end of the background layer to a middle of the background layer along a first direction;

creating a sliding layer for displaying content corresponding to the display area, wherein the sliding layer is substantially transparent;

initializing content on the sliding layer;

moving the sliding layer along the first direction; and

updating content of the embedded system.

7. The content adjusting method of claim 6, wherein color of the background layer varies from dark to light as the first end of the background layer moves to a middle of the background layer.

8. The content adjusting method of claim 7, wherein the background layer comprises a first part, a second part connected to the first part, and a third part connected to the second part;

and a color of the first part varies linearly from dark to light in a second direction and a color of the third part varies linearly from dark to light in a third direction, that is opposite to the second direction.

9. The content adjusting method of claim 6, wherein the background layer comprises a second end, and color of the background layer varies from dark to light as the second end of the background layer moves to the middle of the background layer.

10. The content adjusting method of claim 6, further comprising storing the position and the size to an extensible markup language file after defining the position and the size.

11. A content adjusting method comprising:

providing an embedded system, the embedded system comprising;

a display;

an area positioning module, the area positioning module configured to define a position and a size of a display area;

a background module, the background module configured to create a background layer corresponding to the display area, color of the background layer being gradually varied from a first end of the background layer to a middle of the background layer along a first direction;

a content adapter, the content adapter configured to provide an initialized date or time; and

a data sliding module, the data sliding module configured to create a sliding layer for displaying content, and the sliding layer is substantially transparent;

the data sliding module further configured to control the sliding layer to slide along the first direction;

defining the position and a size of the display area of the display;

creating the background layer in the display area, color of the background layer being gradually varied from the first end of the background layer to a middle of the background layer along the first direction;

creating the sliding layer for displaying content corresponding to the display area, wherein the sliding layer is substantially transparent;

initializing content on the sliding layer;

moving the sliding layer along the first direction; and

updating content of the embedded system.
