Method and terminal for providing different image information in accordance with the angle of a terminal, and computer-readable recording medium
First Claim
1. A method for providing different images by referring to angles of a terminal comprising the steps of:
- setting content provided through the terminal to be relevant to the following;
map information when the terminal is tilted within an angular range which includes a 0 degree horizontal plane or another reference plane in which a display screen of the terminal faces generally upward, a preview image when the terminal is tilted within an angular range which includes 90 degrees from the 0 degree horizontal plane, and weather information when the terminal is tilted within an angular range which includes 180 degrees from the 0 degree horizontal plane;
acquiring information on the angle of the terminal tilted with respect to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane by using a sensor(s);
creating information on an image by;
generating a first image based on information acquired via a remote database when the angle of the terminal indicates a first type of tilt;
combining the first image with first information relevant to the first image;
generating a second image when the angle of the terminal indicates a second type of tilt; and
combining the second image with second information relevant to the second image; and
providing a user with the created information on the image.

Abstract
The present invention includes a method for providing different images by referring to angles of a terminal. The method includes the steps of: (a) if the angle falls under an angular range which includes 0 degree with respect to the horizontal plane, setting a content provided through the terminal to be map information, if the angle falls under an angular range which includes 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, setting a content provided through the terminal to be preview image, and if the angle falls under an angular range which includes 180 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, setting a content provided through the terminal to be weather; (b) acquiring information on the angle by using a sensor; (c) creating information on an image based on the set content; and (d) providing a user with the created information.

9. A terminal for providing information on different images by referring to angles thereof comprising:
-
a sensor for acquiring information on an angle thereof with respect to a horizontal plane or a certain reference plane; a control part for creating information on an image based on the set content corresponding to the information on the angle thereof when the information on the angle thereof is acquired through the sensor, in a state of a content provided therethrough being set to be relevant to map information when an angle thereof leaning to the horizontal plane or a certain reference plane falls under an angular range which includes 0 degree with respect to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane, being set to be relevant to a preview image when the angle thereof leaning to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane falls under an angular range which includes 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane, and being set to be relevant to weather when the angle thereof leaning to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane falls under an angular range which includes 180 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane, provided that it is assumed that if the angle thereof leaning to the horizontal plane or the certain reference plane is 0 degree a screen of the terminal is deemed to face toward the ground; and
wherein the information is created by generating a first image based on information acquired via a remote database when the angle of the terminal indicates a first type of tilt, combining the first image with first information relevant to the first image and generating a second image when the angle of the terminal indicates a second type of tilt and combining the second image with second information relevant to the second image; anda display part for providing a user with the created information on the image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
