Systems and Methods for Configuring the Display Resolution of an Electronic Device Based on Distance and User Presbyopia
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a display of an electronic device, wherein the display is capable of supporting a plurality of display resolutions, the method comprising:
- measuring a distance between the display and a user of the electronic device;
determining a desired display resolution of the display based on the distance, using a processor, wherein the desired display resolution is one of the plurality of display resolutions;
determining whether the user is exhibiting symptoms of presbyopia, using the processor;
determining a desired magnification factor, if the user is exhibiting symptoms of presbyopia; and
transmitting a request from the processor to a server external to the electronic device, the request indicating one or more of;
the desired display resolution or the desired magnification factor, wherein the server is capable of supplying an image.

Abstract
Systems and methods dynamically configure a display (104) of an electronic device (102) to a desired display resolution and/or a magnification factor without noticeable impact on the user viewing experience. According to certain aspects, the distance between a user (100) and the display is measured (1002), and the desired display resolution is determined (1006) based on the distance. If a user is exhibiting (1008, 1010) symptoms of presbyopia, a magnification factor may be determined (1012). A request indicating the desired display resolution and/or magnification factor is transmitted (1016) to a server that supplies images, such as pictures or videos. The image is received (1018) from the server and displayed (1020) on the display. A focus area distance and/or a pupil orientation of the user may also influence the desired display resolution. Bandwidth, processing, and power savings may result through the use of these systems and methods.

13. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a display capable of supporting a plurality of display resolutions; a distance measurement component for measuring a distance between the display and a user of the electronic device; a presbyopia detection component for determining presbyopia data associated with the user, the presbyopia detection component configured to transmit the presbyopia data; a transceiver; and a processor coupled to the display, the distance measurement component, the presbyopia detection component, and the transceiver, the processor configured to perform operations comprising; receiving the distance from the distance measurement component; determining a desired display resolution of the display based on the distance, wherein the desired display resolution is one of the plurality of display resolutions; receiving the presbyopia data from the presbyopia detection component; determining whether the user is exhibiting symptoms of presbyopia; determining a desired magnification factor based on the presbyopia data, if the user is exhibiting symptoms of presbyopia; and transmitting a request to a server external to the electronic device, the request indicating one or more of;
the desired display resolution or the desired magnification factor, wherein the server is capable of supplying an image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
