ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MOVING POSITION OF VISUAL OBJECT LOCATED IN FOLDING AREA AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966130 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MOVING POSITION OF VISUAL OBJECT LOCATED IN FOLDING AREA AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for electronic devices that can move a visual object in a folding area. The devices include sensors, a flexible display, and processors. The processors can detect the folding angle of the device and determine if a part of a visual object is displayed in the folding area. If the folding angle is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, the device will move the visual object to another area and display it there.
- Electronic devices for moving a visual object in a folding area are provided.
- The devices include sensors, a flexible display, and processors.
- The processors can detect the folding angle of the device.
- The processors can also detect if a part of a visual object is displayed in the folding area.
- If the folding angle is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, the device will move the visual object to another area.
- The visual object will then be displayed in the new area.
Potential Applications
- Foldable smartphones or tablets that can automatically adjust the position of displayed content when folded.
- E-readers or tablets with flexible displays that can move the text or images to a different area when the device is folded.
- Foldable laptops or monitors that can reposition the visual content to ensure it is not obstructed by the folding area.
Problems Solved
- Ensures that the visual object is not obstructed by the folding area when the device is folded.
- Provides a seamless user experience by automatically adjusting the position of the visual object.
- Prevents any loss or distortion of the displayed content when the device is folded.
Benefits
- Improved usability and convenience for users of foldable devices.
- Enhanced durability of the flexible display by preventing any damage or distortion caused by folding.
- Allows for more efficient use of the display area by repositioning the visual object.
Original Abstract Submitted
Electronic devices for moving a visual object located in a folding area and methods for controlling the same are provided. A foldable device according to an embodiment may include at least one sensor, a flexible display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to detect a folding angle of the foldable device by using the at least one sensor and detect that at least a part of a visual object is displayed in a folding area of the foldable device. In response to the detected folding angle being equal to or less than a predesignated angle, move, based on the displaying of the at least part of the visual object in the folding area, the visual object to an area other than the folding area and display the visual object in such area other than the folding area.
