Abstract

A display device includes a sensor to track movement of at least one body part of a person and a processor to compare an amount of the tracked movement to a reference value, recognize a position shift when the amount of tracked movement exceeds the reference value, and perform a predetermined function of the display device based on the position shift.

Claims

1. A display device, comprising:

a sensor to track movement of at least one body part of a person; and

a processor to compare an amount of the tracked movement to a reference value, to recognize a position shift when the amount of tracked movement exceeds the reference value, and to perform at least one predetermined function of the display device based on the position shift, wherein the predetermined function includes changing at least one of a number of menu icons on the screen or a distance between menu icons on the screen.

2. The display device of claim 1, wherein said changing further includes:

changing a size of content on the screen based on the position shift.

3. The display device of claim 2, wherein changing the size of the content includes changing display of the content from a first zoom value to a second zoom value, wherein the content displayed at the second zoom value shows more information on the screen than the content displayed at the first zoom value.

4. The display device of claim 2, wherein changing the size of the content includes changing display of the content from the first zoom value to a second zoom value, wherein the content displayed at the second zoom value shows less information on the screen than the content displayed at the first zoom value.

5. The display device of claim 1, wherein the sensor tracks movement of first and second body parts of the person.

6. The display device of claim 5, wherein the processor:

determines an amount of movement of the first body part,

determines an amount of movement of the second body part, and

determines the position shift by comparing the amount of movement of the first body part relative to the amount of movement of the second body part.

7. The display device of claim 6, wherein the position shift is determined to be a lean when the amount of movement of the first body part is greater than the amount of movement of the second body part.

8. The display device of claim 1, wherein the processor changes a volume of the display device based on recognition of another position shift.

9. The display device of claim 1, wherein the function includes:

changing a size of content display on the screen, and

changing a size of a menu simultaneously displayed on the screen with the content.

10. The display device of claim 9, wherein the size of the content is increased and the size of the menu is decreased.

11. A display device, comprising:

a sensor to track movement of at least one body part of a person; and

a processor to compare an amount of the tracked movement to a reference value, to recognize a position shift when the amount of tracked movement exceeds the reference value, and to perform at least one predetermined function of the display device based on the position shift, wherein the predetermined function includes changing an image type displayed on a screen between a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image.

12. A display device, comprising:

a sensor to track movement of at least one body part of a person; and

a processor to compare an amount of the tracked movement to a reference value, to recognize a position shift when the amount of tracked movement exceeds the reference value, and to perform at least one predetermined function of the display device based on the position shift, wherein the predetermined function includes changing an aspect ratio of a first region on a screen or a second region on the screen, the first region changed from a first aspect ratio to a second aspect ratio or the second region changed from a third aspect ratio to a fourth aspect ratio.

13. The display device of claim 12, wherein the predetermined function includes changing an aspect ratio of the first region on the screen and a second region on the screen, the first region changed from the first aspect ratio to the second aspect ratio and the second region changed from the third aspect ratio to the fourth aspect ratio.

14. The display device of claim 13, wherein the first aspect ratio is 16×

9, the second aspect ratio is 17×

9, the third aspect ratio is 5×

9, and the fourth aspect ratio is 4×

9.

15. A control method comprising:

tracking movement of at least one body part of a person;

comparing an amount of the tracked movement to a reference value;

recognizing a position shift when the amount of tracked movement exceeds the reference value, and

performing at least one predetermined function of the display device based on the position shift, wherein the predetermined function includes changing at least one of a number of menu icons on the screen or a distance between menu icons on the screen.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said changing further includes:

changing a size of content on the screen based on the position shift.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein changing the size of the content includes changing display of the content from a first zoom value to a second zoom value, wherein the content displayed at the second zoom value shows more information on the screen than the content displayed at the first zoom value.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein changing the size of the content includes changing display of the content from the first zoom value to a second zoom value, wherein the content displayed at the second zoom value shows less information on the screen than the content displayed at the first zoom value.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein said tracking includes tracking movement of first and second body parts of the person.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

determines an amount of movement of the first body part,

determines an amount of movement of the second body part, and

determines the position shift by comparing the amount of movement of the first body part relative to the amount of movement of the second body part.
