This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885260 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING SCREEN OF DISPLAY IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can operate in different states based on the screen size information.

  • The device includes a flexible display and a processor.
  • The processor can identify the screen size information of the flexible display.
  • Based on the screen size information indicating a first screen size, the flexible display can operate in a first state displaying an activated menu window and an activated content window.
  • Based on the screen size information indicating a second screen size, the flexible display can operate in a second state displaying the activated menu window and multiple activated content windows.

Potential Applications:

  • Mobile phones with flexible displays that can adapt their screen layout based on the size of the display.
  • Tablets or laptops with flexible displays that can provide a different user interface depending on the screen size.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistency in user experience due to varying screen sizes of flexible displays.
  • Difficulty in optimizing the display layout for different screen sizes.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience by adapting the display layout to the screen size.
  • Improved usability and efficiency by displaying multiple content windows simultaneously on larger screens.
