ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING USER INTERFACE THEREFOR

摘要

An electronic device that can provide both a mirror function and a user interface. A controller executes the mirror function is coupled to a display that outputs at least one of a mirror function and a user interface. A sensor senses a user approaching the front of the display and captures an image of a target object in front of the display; an input element that receives an input from the user. The controller controls a process of identifying the body region of the user reflected in the display by use of an image captured by the sensor, checks whether the user interface displayed on the display at least partially overlaps display of a body region of the user reflected in the display, and controls the display to rearrange and display the user interface in a region where the body is not being reflected.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a controller comprising at least one processor configured to execute a mirror function by adjusting a backlight in conjunction with a mirror element; a display in communication with the controller, the display outputs one or more of a user interface and an output of a reflection of a user if the mirror function is being executed; a sensor module that senses an approach of the user in front of the display and captures an image of the user as a target image in front of the display; an input device to receive an input from the user that is output to the controller; wherein the controller controls a an identification of a body region of the user reflected by the display by use of the target image captured by the sensor when the mirror function is operative, and checks whether the user interface is displayed on the display and at least partially overlaps the body region of the user reflected in the display, and controls the display to rearrange and display the user interface on a portion of the display where the user is not being reflected.
