Apparatus and method for controlling terminal through motion recognition
First Claim
1. An apparatus for changing a screen orientation depending on a detected movement of a terminal, comprising:
- a motion sensor for measuring values of three-axis coordinates that change depending on the movement of the terminal;
a display unit for displaying at least two of screen modes; and
a controller for determining whether to change a screen mode based on an amount of change in the measured three-axis coordinates from previously detected three-axis coordinates,wherein, if the amount of change in the one of the three axis coordinates is smaller than of the other two axis coordinates, the controller switches another screen mode that corresponds to the movement of the terminal.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for changing a screen mode depending on a posture and movement of a terminal are provided. A motion sensor measures a value of a three-axis sensor that changes depending on the posture or movement of the terminal, and transfers the measured value to the controller. A storage stores a plurality of screen modes corresponding to the posture or movement of the terminal. A controller determines the posture or movement of the terminal using the value of the three-axis sensor transferred from the motion sensor, and maintains the current screen mode a change in one of three axes is greater than the other two axes which indicates a user did not intended to switch the screen mode.

8. A method for changing a screen orientation depending on a movement of a terminal, the method comprising:
-
generating coordinate values of three axes indicative of the movement of the terminal using a motion sensor; determining an amount of change of each axis by comparing the generated coordinate values of the three axes from previous coordinate values of three axes; comparing an amount of change of one of the three axes with amounts of change of the other two axes; and changing a screen mode based on the compared result, wherein changing a screen mode comprising; maintaining the screen mode if the amount of change of one of the three axes is greater than the other two axes. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 22, 23)
