Abstract

The disclosed embodiments relate to a mobile communication terminal including a user interface and a processor. The mobile communication terminal receives real time acquired colour data, from which the processor generates a colour scheme for the user interface. The light generating means receive the colour scheme and provide a coloured light to user interface in accordance with the colour scheme.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for mapping texture content to user interface elements for a mobile communication device comprising:
receiving a real time acquired image comprising at least one texture content, the real time image being continuously captured in real time via a camera of the mobile communication device;
generating a colour scheme and identifying the at least one texture content from said real time acquired image;
displaying in a user interface a composite view comprising the real time image, a plurality of user interface elements and a selection frame illustrating the at least one texture content;
continuously applying, in real time, the at least one texture content and the colour scheme onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements in the user interface to reflect the real time acquired image;
setting the at least one texture content onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection from the selection frame; and
setting the colour scheme onto at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection of the at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said user interface comprises a display.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said user interface further comprises a cover, a light guide, and a keypad.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying said real time acquired image as a background image and rendering the color scheme and the at least one texture content onto the at least one of the plurality of user interface elements are shown on the user interface concurrently.

5. A mobile communication terminal comprising;
a user interface;
an image acquirer; and
a processor configured to control the mobile communication terminal to:
continuously receive a real time acquired image comprising at least one texture content from the image acquirer,
generate a colour scheme and identify the at least one texture content from said real time acquired image,
display in a user interface a composite view comprising the real time image, a plurality of user interface elements and a selection frame illustrating the at least one texture content;
continuously apply, in real time, the at least one texture content and the colour scheme onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements in the user interface to reflect the real time acquired image,
set the at least one texture content onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection from the selection frame, and
set the colour scheme onto at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection of the at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements.

6. The mobile communication terminal of claim 5 , wherein said user interface comprises a display.

7. The mobile communication terminal of claim 6 , wherein said user interface further comprises a cover, a light guide, and a keypad.

8. The mobile communication terminal of claim 5 , wherein displaying said real time acquired image as a background image and rendering the color scheme and the at least one texture content onto the at least one of the plurality of user interface elements are shown on the user interface concurrently.

9. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable components comprising instructions for:
receiving a real time acquired image comprising at least one texture content, the real time image being continuously captured in real time via a camera of the mobile communication device;
generating a colour scheme and identifying the at least one texture content from said real time acquired image;
displaying in a user interface a composite view comprising the real time image, a plurality of user interface elements and a selection frame illustrating the at least one texture content;
continuously applying, in real time, the at least one texture content and the colour scheme onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements in the user interface to reflect the real time acquired image;
setting the at least one texture content onto at least one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection; and
setting the colour scheme onto at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements upon receipt of user input of selection of the at least another one of the plurality of user interface elements.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein said user interface comprises a display.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein said user interface further comprises a cover, a light guide, and a keypad.

12. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein displaying said real time acquired image as a background image and rendering the color scheme and the at least one texture content onto the at least one of the plurality of user interface elements are shown on the user interface concurrently.
