Abstract

A method of changing a display of an original image on a screen of a computerized mobile device is provided herein. The method comprises the following steps: (i) dynamically identifying conditions related to display changes. The identified conditions are as a result of an identified event; (ii) dynamically selecting at least one area of the original image that is displayed on the screen that is defined as an Area of interest (AOI), according to the identified conditions; and (iii) dynamically changing the display of the original image according to the AOI by visually enhancing said AOI area such that the visual enhancement gradually decreases from the AOI and farther thereto, to visually emphasize the AOI area while maintaining visual continuity of the entire original image. The visual continuity in each area of visual enhancement in the original image is maintained by a convex visual effect.

Claims

1. A method for dynamically displaying characters over a display area of a mobile device screen using at least one sensor, said method comprising:

a) dynamically and continuously changing presentation of the characters over the whole screen by creating a curving optical visual effect thereof, over the whole screen, said curving visual effect includes visually enhancing the characters around a focal area, which is a selected part of the whole screen, and gradually reducing the enhancement visual effect in a continuous manner farther from the selected focal area, said enhancement includes at least one of the following;

enlarging of the characters font size, adding characters, enlarging space between characters, or creating a focus effect at the focal area; and

b) dynamically and continuously changing the position of the focal area according to data from said at least one orientation sensor including acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, motion sensor or camera based on predefined rules,

wherein the visual enhancement creates a 3D visual effect in which the characters appear to be deployed over a curved surface, wherein the focal area is spread along a vertical area along the whole screen;

wherein the orientation of the characters presentation in relation to screen is unchanged;

wherein the selection of the area of interest, changing of the characters presentation, dynamically changing the focal area of the visual effect are carried out by at least one processor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual continuity in each area of visual enhancement in the original image is maintained by a polygonal visual effect.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual enhancement includes:

(i) change of resolution; and

(ii) change of image sharpness.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein a convex visual effect enables display of a larger amount of data compared to the original image.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamically changing of the display of the original image according to the area of interest and focal area therein is carried out by enlarging font size and/or spacing between characters in a gradual continuous manner when approaching the focal area.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising scrolling the area of visual enhancement in the original image horizontally or vertically across the screen of the computerized mobile device according to a change in a selected partial area displayed on the screen for viewing a different portion of the original image.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying user viewing orientation by a calculation of tilting of the computerized mobile device, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a gyroscope sensor for measuring the tilting of the device in relation to the gravitation vector.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the user'"'"'s viewing orientation is further identified by identification of tilting of the mobile device in combination with head movement of the user, said head movement is identified by analyzing image data arriving from a second camera sensor for stabilizing the display change, wherein the camera sensor is configured for capturing images of the head of the user and said identification comprises image analysis of images from said camera for calculating the movement of the head.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the user viewing orientation is further identified by sensing user'"'"'s finger motion on the screen using a touchscreen sensor for controlling the display change.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the visually enhancing of said area of interest is by having enlarged font size at the vertical or horizontal center, wherein said focal area is a vertical or a horizontal axis.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the degree of visual enhancement dynamically changes according to font size of the text.

12. The method of claim 5, further comprising the step dynamically identifying objects by predefined rules not related to sensor measurements at the AOI area and sorting out said objects from the visual curving effect.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the characters displayed over the display area of the screen form a virtual keyboard.

14. A computerized mobile device for dynamically displaying an image over a display area said computerized mobile device screen, said mobile device having at least one motion sensor or camera and processor, said computerized mobile device processor comprising:

a) a convex module, operable through said processor and screen, for dynamically changing of a characters presentation over the screen by creating a curving optical visual effect of the whole screen, said curving visual effect includes visually enhancing the characters around a focal area, which is a selected part screen, and gradually reducing the enhancement visual effect in a continuous manner further from the selected focal area, said enhancement includes at least one of the following;

enlarging of the characters font size, adding characters, enlarging space between characters, or creating a focus effect at the focal area and dynamically changing the focal area according to changing conditions that are deduced from data input by said motion sensor or camera, wherein the visual enhancement creates a 3D visual effect in which the characters appear to be deployed over a curved surface.
