Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing vision corrected data at a mobile device is presented. The data on the mobile device is provided accounting for vision correction requirements of a viewer of the information, such that the viewer does not require the use of corrective lenses to view the information on the display of the mobile device or the removal of corrective lenses to view the information.

Alternately a display cover, having a predefined shape, is provided that accounts for vision correction required by the user of the mobile device.

Claims

1. A method in which a mobile device performs operations comprising:

providing information on a display of the mobile device, wherein said information is provided accounting for vision correction requirements of a viewer of said information; and

wherein said viewer is not required to perform at least one of the group consisting of using corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device, and removing corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising, prior to said providing information on a display of a mobile device, receiving an indication of an amount of vision correction required by said viewer of said information of said mobile device and providing said information on said display of said mobile device in accordance with said required amount of vision correction required by said viewer.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said providing information on a display of the mobile device comprises providing said information in a different format then said information would normally be provided.

4. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable code thereon for providing vision correction for a display of a mobile device, the medium including instructions in which a computer system performs operations comprising:

providing information on a display of the mobile device, wherein said information is provided accounting for vision correction requirements of a viewer of said information; and

wherein said viewer is not required to perform at least one of the group consisting of using corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device, and removing corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device.

5. The computer readable storage medium of claim 4 further comprising instructions for, prior to said providing information on a display of a mobile device, receiving an indication of an amount of vision correction required by said viewer of said information of said mobile device and providing said information on said display of said mobile device in accordance with said required amount of vision correction required by said viewer.

6. The computer readable storage medium of claim 4 further comprising instructions wherein said providing information on a display of the mobile device comprises providing said information in a different format then said information would normally be provided.

7. A mobile device comprising:

a memory;

a processor;

a communications interface;

an interconnection mechanism coupling the memory, the processor and the communications interface; and

wherein the memory is encoded with an application providing vision corrected data, that when performed on the processor, provides a process for processing information, the process causing the computer system to perform the operations of;

providing information on a display of the mobile device, wherein said information is provided accounting for vision correction requirements of a viewer of said information; and

wherein said viewer is not required to perform at least one of the group consisting of using corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device, and removing corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device.

8. The mobile device of claim 7 wherein, prior to said providing information on a display of a mobile device, receiving an indication of an amount of vision correction required by said viewer of said information of said mobile device and providing said information on said display of said mobile device in accordance with said required amount of vision correction required by said viewer.

9. The mobile device of claim 7 wherein said providing information on a display of the mobile device comprises providing said information in a different format then said information would normally be provided.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a display cover attachable to a display of a mobile device, said display cover having a predefined shape, wherein said predefined shape of said display cover provides vision correction for a viewer, wherein said viewer is not required to perform at least one of the group consisting of using corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device, and removing corrective lenses to view said information on said display of said mobile device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said display cover has a convex surface on one side thereof shape for providing said information on said display of said mobile device in accordance with an amount of vision correction required by said viewer.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein said display cover is installed on said display of said mobile device wherein said convex surface is facing said display.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said display cover has a concave surface on one side thereof for providing said information on said display of said mobile device in accordance with an amount of vision correction required by said viewer.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein said display cover is installed on said display of said mobile device wherein said concave surface is facing said display.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein said display cover further comprises a raised ridge about at least a portion of a periphery of said display cover.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said cover is removably attachable to said mobile device.
