There is provided a portable digital device including: a display; a processor for rotating content shown on the display from a first orientation to a second orientation; a connector for connection of the portable digital device to a peripheral device; and at least two control devices for controlling at least two operational functions of the portable digital device. It is advantageous that the content shown on the display is automatically rotated from a first orientation to a second orientation by the processor when a functional connection to the peripheral device is made using the connector. The content may be rotated as a single entity or it may be rotated pixel-by-pixel. Depending on the peripheral device, the rotation may be either 90° or 180°. The functional connection may preferably be detected by the processor using a mechanical switch, an impedence meter and a combination of the aforementioned. There is also provided a method for automatically reconfiguring a setup of a portable digital device.

摘要:
A portable audio enhancement and media player device and method are disclosed for enabling an electronic consumer product such as a personal computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular phone or the like, to process and format media having different data formats such “wav” “mp3”, “mov”, “midi” files, and the like. The portable device may be connected to an electronic consumer product via a connector such as universal serial bus (USB), firewire, audio out, audio in, and the like. By connecting the portable device via one of the connectors, the portable device provides the required processors for processing audio/video media data necessary to play such data formats and enable the electronic consumer product with sound card and media player functionality. The portable device with media player functionality enables an electronic product such as a personal computer to obtain an additional secondary functionality such as audio enhancement when connected to the host computer and also aid in processing data when connected to the host computer.
摘要:
A portable digital device having at least two control devices for controlling at least two operating functions of the portable digital device; a digital display for displaying information; and a processor. The processor is for rotating the information from a right-handed orientation to a left-handed orientation and vice versa, and remapping the at least two control devices to reverse their operating functions to allow for use of the portable digital device in both the first orientation and the second orientation. Upon remapping skip forward and skip back operating functions are interchanged, increase volume and decrease volume operating functions are interchanged; and menu move to the left and right operating functions are interchanged.
