Abstract

An image stabilization method adapted to an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least a display and at least a connection interface. The connection interface is connected to the detector. The detector is configured to detect environmental information. The image stabilization method comprises receiving a detecting signal from the detector; and performing an image stabilization procedure corresponding to a visual dislocation event according to the detecting signal. The visual dislocation event refers to a change of the relative position between the viewer and the display from a first position to a second position. An electronic device using the image stabilization method is also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image stabilization method, adapted to an electronic device including at least a display and at least a connection interface, the connection interface is connected to a detector for detecting environmental information, the image stabilization method comprising:
receiving a detecting signal from the detector; and performing an image stabilization procedure corresponding to a visual dislocation event according to the detecting signal, the visual dislocation event refers to a change of a relative position between the viewer and the display from a first position to a second position, wherein the image stabilization procedure includes:
changing an image extracting region from a first region of an original image to a second region of the original image according to the detecting signal, the second region is shifted by an offset distance in an offset direction relative to the first region; and
displaying a second display image in the second region on the display.

2 . The image stabilization method according to claim 1 , wherein the offset direction is consistent with a direction in which the relative position changes.

3 . The image stabilization method according to claim 1 , wherein the image stabilization procedure further comprises:
determining the offset distance according to the detecting signal, wherein the offset distance is positively correlated to a magnitude of the change in the relative position.

4 . The image stabilization method according to claim 1 , wherein the image stabilization procedure further comprises:
establishing a wireless pairing or a wired connection with the detector via the connection interface; and receiving the detecting signal from the pair detector via a wireless transmission or receiving the detecting signal from the connected detector via a wired transmission.

5 . An electronic device comprising:
a display; at least a connection interface; a detector, connected to the connection interface and configured to detect environmental information; and a processor, coupled to the display and the connection interface, and configured to receive a detecting signal from the detector and perform an image stabilization procedure corresponding to a visual dislocation event according to the detecting signal,
wherein the visual dislocation event refers to a change of a relative position between the viewer and the display from a first position to a second position, and the image stabilization procedure comprises to adjust an image displayed by the display from a first display image in a first region of an original image on the display to a second display image in a second region of the original image, and shift a locating point in the second display image by an offset distance in an offset direction relative to the locating point in the first display image.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the offset direction is consistent with a direction in which the relative position changes.

7 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein in the image stabilization procedure, the processor is further configured to determine the offset distance according to the detecting signal, the offset distance is positively correlated to a magnitude of the change in the relative position.

8 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to establish a wireless pairing or a wired connection with the detector via the connection interface, and to receive the detecting signal from the paired detector via a wireless transmission or to receive the detecting signal from the connected detector via a wired transmission.
