ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOTOR DRIVING IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17966823 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOTOR DRIVING IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can slide and extend from one housing to another. The device includes a gear and a motor to move the flexible display, as well as sensors and processors to monitor the device's state and control the motor's speed.
- The electronic device has a first housing and a second housing that guides the sliding movement of the first housing.
- A flexible display is attached to the first housing and extends from it, allowing for a larger display area.
- Inside the second housing, there is a gear that moves the flexible display.
- A motor is used to rotate the gear, controlling the movement of the flexible display.
- The device also includes sensors to gather information about the device's state, such as battery current, voltage, consumption current, battery level, and temperature.
- Processors analyze the sensor data and use it to control the motor's speed or stop it, based on the device's state.
Potential Applications
- Smartphones and tablets with larger display areas that can be extended when needed.
- E-readers with flexible displays that can be adjusted for better reading experience.
- Wearable devices with flexible displays that can adapt to different wrist sizes.
Problems Solved
- Limited display area on electronic devices can be expanded with the flexible display.
- The sliding mechanism allows for more compact devices when the display is not extended.
- Monitoring the device's state helps optimize power consumption and prevent overheating.
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience with a larger display area when needed.
- More compact and portable devices when the display is not extended.
- Improved power management and device safety through monitoring and control of the motor based on the device's state.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing configured to accommodate at least a part of the first housing and guide sliding movement of the first housing, a flexible display including a first display area coupled to the first housing and a second display area extending from the first display area, a gear disposed inside the second housing and configured to move the flexible display, a motor configured to rotate the gear, at least one sensor, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a state of the electronic device including at least one of a battery current, a battery voltage, an internal consumption current, a battery level, or an electronic device temperature, based on information sensed through the at least one sensor, and control a speed of the motor or discontinue driving of the motor based on the state of the electronic device.
