System and method for adjusting presentation of text and images on an electronic device according to an orientation of the device
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a screen image on a display of an electronic device, the screen image having a plurality of layers arranged above or below a base layer, the method comprising:
- monitoring for at least one of a yaw movement or pitch movement of the device while displaying the screen image having a first user viewing location, the screen image being provided with a first element in one layer of the plurality of layers and a second element in a second layer of the plurality of layers; and
responsive to at least one of a detected yaw movement or pitch movement of the device;
determining a second user viewing location for said screen image based on said at least one of detected yaw movement or pitch movement of the device;
adjusting the screen image by shifting the first element relative to the second element in response to said at least one of detected yaw movement or pitch movement of the device, to compensate for the change in user viewing location from the first user viewing location to the second user viewing location; and
displaying the screen image having the second user viewing location.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system, method and device for controlling the display of elements in a screen on an electronic device, according to an orientation of the device. In the system, a graphics management system for elements displayed in a screen on a display on an electronic device is provided. The system comprises: a sensor; a movement detection module connected to the sensor providing an orientation signal registering a notable signal from the sensor; and a graphical user interface (GUI) adjustment module to determine a new layout for the elements being displayed on the display utilizing orientation provided by the movement detection module. The sensor may provide orientation data indicating a new orientation of the device. Also, the GUI adjustment module may provide the new layout by shifting a position of one or more of the elements in the screen to reflect the new orientation of the device.
