IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT
First Claim
1. An image display device for displaying an image comprising:
- a display unit for displaying at least one of the image and an operation screen,a first operation unit provided on the display unit and for generating an operation signal by detecting a contact with itself,a second operation unit provided on a rear side of the display unit and for generating an operation signal by detecting a contact with itself,a hold state detection unit for detecting a hold state of the image display device according to the operation signal generated by at least one of the first operation unit and the second operation unit,an image display mode decision unit for determining an image display mode for displaying the image on the display unit according to the hold state detected by the hold state detection unit,an image processor for determining a content of the image to be displayed on the display unit according to the hold state detected by the hold state detection unit, andan operation control unit for controlling the first operation unit and the second operation unit according to the hold state detected by the hold state detection unit, wherein a user interface of the display unit is changed to a user interface corresponding to the hold state of the image display device by performing one or more of processing by the image display mode decision unit to change the image display mode for displaying the image on the display unit according to the detected hold state, processing by the image processor to change the content of the image to be displayed on the display unit according to the detected hold state, and processing by the operation control unit to change a method for controlling the first operation unit and the second operation unit according to the detected hold state.

Abstract
An image display device includes a display unit (DU) and an operation screen, a first operation unit on the DU generating an operation signal, a second operation unit on a rear of the DU generating an operation signal, a hold state (HS) detection unit detecting a HS of the image display device, an image display mode decision unit determining an image display mode for displaying the image on the DU according to the HS, an image processor determining a content of the image to be displayed according to the HS, and an operation control unit controlling the first and second operation units according to the HS. A user interface of the DU is changed to a user interface corresponding to the HS by changing, according to the HS, one or more of the image display mode/content of the image, and a method for controlling the first and second operation units.
