Mobile terminal with ergonomic imaging functions

摘要

The present invention provides for a mobile terminal (100, 300, 400) with ergonomic imaging or camera functions. A single display (104, 302, 404) can be used, for example in portrait mode while terminal functions are being used and in landscape mode while imaging functions are being used. The change between the two orientations can be accomplished automatically (206, 210, 214). In some embodiments, the capability is also provided to process an image for assignment to a terminal function (508, 518), where the image has at least one display attribute that makes it at least partly unsuitable for use with the terminal function. This processing can be accomplished for example, so that a landscape image can be viewed conveniently in a portrait orientation.
