Abstract

A method and a device for adjusting and displaying an image are provided. The method includes: monitoring the distance between a user in front of a display screen and the display screen; when monitoring that a distance between the user and the display screen is less than a preset threshold, determining an adjusted size of an image on the display screen according to the distance; and displaying the image on the display screen according to the adjusted size.

Claims (69)

determining a relative orientation between the user and the display screen according to the distance between the user and the display screen and the distance between the user and the at least one other apparatus, wherein the relative orientation comprises: center, center-left or center-right; and

displaying the image on a display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein monitoring the distance between the user and the display screen comprises one or more of the following manners:

taking an image of the user, and determining the distance between the user and the display screen according to the taken image; and

monitoring a wireless signal sent by the user, and determining the distance between the user and the display screen according to an intensity of the wireless signal.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method, when taking the image of the user and determining the distance between the user and the display screen according to the taken image, further comprises:

determining a relative orientation between the user and the display screen according to a position of the user in the taken image, the relative orientation comprising: center, center-left and center-right; and

displaying the image on the display screen according to the adjusted size comprises:

displaying the image on a display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein displaying the image on the display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size comprises:

proportionally sampling the image according to a ratio between the adjusted size and an original size of the image;

determining a start line, a start column, an end line and an end column of the adjusted image in the display area corresponding to the relative orientation; and

scanning the image according to the start line, the start column, the end line and the end column so as to display the adjusted image.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the adjusted size of the image on the display screen according to the distance comprises:

calculating an adjusted height of the image according to S=n*H, S being the distance between the user and the display screen, H being the adjusted height of the image, and a range of n being [3.5,5]; and

determining an adjusted width of the image according to a preset aspect ratio of the image and the adjusted height of the image.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: when monitoring that the distance between the user and the display screen is less than the preset threshold, determining the adjusted size of the image on the display screen according to a parameter preset by the user rather than determining according to the distance,

wherein determining the adjusted size of the image on the display screen according to the parameter preset by the user comprises:

determining an adjusted height and an adjusted width of the image on the display screen according to a scaling preset by the user and an original height and an original width of the image.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the image on the display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size comprises:

proportionally sampling the image according to a ratio between the adjusted size and an original size of the image;

determining a start line, a start column, an end line and an end column of the adjusted image in the display area corresponding to the relative orientation; and

scanning the image according to the start line, the start column, the end line and the end column so as to display the adjusted image.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method, after the displaying the image on the display screen according to the adjusted size, further comprises:

when monitoring that the distance between the user and the display screen is greater than or equal to the preset threshold for a preset duration, restoring the image to an original size and displaying the image on the display screen.

9. A device for adjusting and displaying an image, comprising:

a processor;

a display screen; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

monitor a distance between a user in front of the display screen and the display screen;

when monitoring that the distance between the user and the display screen is less than a preset threshold, determine an adjusted size of an image on the display screen according to the distance;

acquire, from at least one other apparatus in a space where the display screen locates, a distance between the apparatus and the user collected by the at least one other apparatus, wherein the at least one other apparatus is fixedly located at different orientations in the space, and is configured to determine the distance between the at least one other apparatus and the user through monitoring an intensity of a wireless signal sent by an electronic device carried by the user;

determine a relative orientation between the user and the display screen according to the distance between the user and the display screen and the distance between the user and the at least one other apparatus, wherein the relative orientation comprises: center, center-left or center-right; and

display the image on a display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

take an image of the user, and determine the distance between the user and the display screen according to the taken image; and

monitor a wireless signal sent by the user, and determine the distance between the user and the display screen according to an intensity of the wireless signal.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a relative orientation between the user and the display screen according to a position of the user in the taken image, the relative orientation comprising: center, center-left and center-right; and

display the image on a display area of the display screen corresponding to the relative orientation according to the adjusted size.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

proportionally sample the image according to a ratio between the adjusted size and an original size of the image;
