ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17902283 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can change its form based on the movement of the device's housing. The device also includes a communication circuit capable of performing communication through multiple communication schemes, and a processor connected to the communication circuit.
- The processor is programmed to detect when the form of the display changes from a second form to a first form.
- When this change is identified, the processor controls the communication circuit to establish a communication connection using a first communication connection scheme, which is different from the second communication connection scheme designated for the second form.
- The device can then perform communication using the first communication connection scheme while in the first form.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones or tablets with flexible displays that can change shape based on user interactions.
- Wearable devices, such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, with flexible displays that adapt to the movement of the user's body.
- Foldable laptops or e-readers that can transform their display shape for different use cases.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional electronic devices with rigid displays are limited in their form factor and may not adapt well to different user needs or preferences.
- This technology allows for more versatile and adaptable devices that can change their form to better suit the user's requirements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience with devices that can dynamically change their display shape.
- Improved functionality and versatility of electronic devices.
- Potential for more compact and portable devices that can transform into larger displays when needed.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing, a flexible display configured to change in a form in response to a movement of the housing, a communication circuit configured to perform communication through a plurality of communication schemes, and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit. The processor may be configured to: based on identifying that the form of the display is changed from a second form to a first form, control the communication circuit to perform a communication connection in a first communication connection scheme different from a second communication connection scheme designated for the second form among the plurality of communication schemes and perform communication through the first communication connection scheme in the first form.
