Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for adjusting a user interface (UI) of an electronic apparatus. The method includes following steps: analyzing color information of an image; generating a first palette having at least one first pilot color based on the color information of the image; and performing a color scheme in at least one page of the user interface according to the first palette having the at least one first pilot color.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for adjusting a user interface (UI) of an electronic apparatus, comprising:
analyzing color information of an image;
generating a first palette having a plurality of first pilot colors based on the color information of the image; and
performing a color scheme in at least one page of the user interface according to the first palette having the plurality of first pilot colors, the at least one page including a plurality of application icons, the step of preforming the color scheme comprises:
for at least one of the plurality of application icons, displaying a plurality of candidate icon patterns corresponding to the plurality of first pilot colors respectively for a user to select one candidate icon pattern out of the plurality of candidate icon patterns; and

configuring the at least one of the plurality of application icons according to the selected candidate icon pattern,
wherein the at least one page comprises a home page and an application page.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the color scheme in the at least one page of the user interface comprises coloring at least one color block of the at least one page with the at least one first pilot color.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one color block comprises one or more of a status bar or a background of the at least one page.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application page comprises one or more of a message page, a mail page, or a news page.

5. The method of claim 1 , before the step of analyzing the color information of the image, further comprising: sampling a plurality of pixels of the image thereby generating sampled pixels; and grouping the sampled pixels into a plurality of pixel sets.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of generating the first palette having the plurality of first pilot colors based on the color information of the image comprises:
calculating the color information of the sampled pixels for each pixel set thereby generating the plurality of first pilot colors.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the color information is a value of Red-Green-Blue model of the sampled pixels or a value of Hue-Saturation-Value color model of the sampled pixels.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of first pilot colors is calculated by respectively averaging red values, green values, blue values of all sampled pixels within each pixel set.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of first pilot colors is calculated in accordance with a median of the sampled pixels associated with each pixel set.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring at least one notification sound of the electronic apparatus according to the first palette having the plurality of first pilot colors.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
selecting one of a plurality of hue sections on a Hue cycle according to the plurality of first pilot colors; and configuring at least one notification sound of the electronic apparatus according to the one of a plurality of hue sections that is selected.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein each hue section associates with a music box having at least one ringtone for selection.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the notification sound comprises one or more of a cellphone bell, a text tone, or an alarm sound.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating a second palette having at least one second pilot color based on the color information of the image.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the step of generating a second palette having at least one second pilot color comprises adjusting a value of the color information of the plurality of first pilot colors of the first palette.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface has a plurality of application icons, further comprises:
classifying the application icons into at least one classified group; and
replacing the skin color of the application icons associated with the at least one classified group according to the first palette having the plurality of first pilot colors.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least one classified group comprises one or more of a multi-media classification, a communication classification, an amusement classification or an essential classification.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: creating a preview of the at least one page of the user interface with the color scheme; and generating a second palette having at least one second pilot color based on the color information of the image in response to receiving a reselection signal.

19. An electronic apparatus for adjusting a user interface, comprising:
an analyzing unit, operatively configured to analyze color information of an image;
a processor, coupled to the analyzing unit, and operatively configured to:
generate a first palette having a plurality of first pilot colors based on the color information of the image; and
perform a first color scheme in at least one page of the user interface according to the first palette having the plurality of first pilot colors, the at least one page including a plurality of application icons, wherein for at least one of the plurality of application icons, the processor is further operatively configured to display a plurality of candidate icon patterns corresponding to the plurality of first pilot colors respectively for a user to select one candidate icon pattern out of the plurality of candidate icon patterns, and configure the at least one of the plurality of application icons according to the selected candidate icon pattern; and

a display unit, coupled to the processor, operatively configured to display the user interface,
wherein the at least one page comprises a home page and an application page.

20. The electronic apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the processor that is configured to perform the first color scheme in the at least one page of the user interface is further operatively configured to color at least one color block of the at least one page with the plurality of first pilot colors.
