First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for scaling a layout of an application in an image display device, the method comprising:
- determining, by the image display device, a reference Pixels Per Degree (PPD);
determining, by the image display device, PPD of the image display device based on a distance between the image display device and the user; and
generating, by the image display device, a scaling variable based on a ratio of the PPD of the image display device to the reference PPD;
scaling, by the image display device, a layout of an application based on a scaling variable, wherein the scaling of the layout of the application comprises scaling a whole size of objects or a height of objects in the layout of the application; and
displaying the application on a display of the image display device according to the scaled application layout,wherein the reference PPD is a PPD of another image display device, andwherein the scaled layout of the application is different from a layout of the application of the other image display device.

11. An image display device, comprising:
-
a controller for determining a reference Pixels Per Degree (PPD), for generating a scaling variable based on a distance between the image display device and a user, and for scaling a layout of an application based on the scaling variable; and a display unit for displaying the scaled layout of the application, wherein the controller comprises; a distance determiner for determining the distance between the image display device and the user, a PPD determiner for determining PPD of the image display device based on the distance between the image display device and the user, and a scaling variable generator for generating the scaling variable based on a ratio of the PPD of the image display device to the reference PPD, and wherein the scaling of the layout of the application comprises scaling a whole size of objects or a height of objects in the layout of the application, wherein the reference PPD is a PPD of another image display device, and wherein the scaled layout of the application is different from a layout of the application of the other image display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
