ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH EXPANDABLE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING SCREEN OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17866132 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH EXPANDABLE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING SCREEN OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes two displays and a processor that allows the user to set a mode between two options. In the first mode, the contents of each screen can be independently configured, while in the second mode, the contents of both screens are synchronized. The second screen is configured based on the mode set by the user, and one of the screens is displayed depending on whether the second display is activated.
- The electronic device has two displays and a processor.
- The user can choose between two modes: independent configuration and synchronized configuration.
- In the independent configuration mode, the contents of each screen can be set separately.
- In the synchronized configuration mode, the contents of both screens are set together.
- The second screen is adjusted based on the mode selected by the user.
- Only one screen is displayed depending on whether the second display is activated.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, or gaming consoles. It could enhance multitasking capabilities and provide a more flexible user interface.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of limited screen space by allowing users to utilize two displays simultaneously. It also addresses the need for both independent and synchronized configurations, providing flexibility in displaying content.
Benefits
- Improved multitasking: Users can view and interact with different content simultaneously on two screens. - Enhanced user interface: The option to independently or synchronously configure screens provides flexibility and customization. - Increased productivity: The ability to have separate or synchronized content on two screens can improve efficiency and workflow.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first display, a second display, and a processor configured to provide a user interface (UI) for setting a mode among a first mode and a second mode, wherein in the first mode, first contents of a first screen corresponding to the first display and second contents of a second screen corresponding to the second display are independently configured, and in the second mode, the first contents of the first screen and the second contents of the second screen are synchronously configured; configure the second screen according to the mode set via the UI, and display, based on whether the second display is activated, one screen among the first screen and the second screen configured according to the mode.
