Claim:
A computer-implemented method for adjusting display format in an electronic device, the method comprising: displaying content in a first display format on a display of the electronic device; continuously measuring current distance between a viewer and the display; starting a timer; when the current distance between the viewer and the display changes, restarting the timer; when the timer reaches a predetermined time, determining a second display format based on the first display format; and displaying the content in the second display format on the display; wherein the step of determining the second display format comprises obtaining size of the second display format by using an equation as follows: S 2 =S 1 *( K *sin( L*T view )+ N ) where S 2 represents the size of the second display format, S 1 represents size of the first display format, T view represents a time period that the timer times, and K, L and N represent constants.
