METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17974419 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with two housings connected by a hinge. It includes at least one display, a sensing circuit, and a processor. The processor controls the display to show a first execution screen for a first application. It also monitors for events related to a second application while the first screen is displayed. When an event occurs, such as a folding or rotating operation of the device, the processor displays a second execution screen on a different display area.
- The electronic device has two housings connected by a hinge.
- It includes at least one display, a sensing circuit, and a processor.
- The processor controls the display to show a first execution screen for a first application.
- It monitors for events related to a second application while the first screen is displayed.
- When an event occurs, such as a folding or rotating operation of the device, the processor displays a second execution screen on a different display area.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in foldable or dual-screen devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to provide a seamless transition between different applications or screens.
- It can enhance multitasking capabilities by allowing users to view and interact with multiple applications simultaneously on different display areas.
- The ability to display different execution screens based on physical movements can enable new user experiences and interactions.
Problems Solved
- Traditional devices with a single display often have limitations in multitasking and displaying multiple applications simultaneously.
- Switching between different applications or screens can be cumbersome and disrupt the user experience.
- This technology solves these problems by providing a seamless transition between different applications and screens, enhancing multitasking capabilities, and improving user interactions.
Benefits
- Users can easily switch between different applications or screens without interrupting their workflow.
- The ability to display different execution screens based on physical movements adds a new level of interactivity and user experience.
- Enhanced multitasking capabilities allow users to be more productive and efficient in their tasks.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a first housing, a second housing, a hinge structure comprising a hinge, at least one display, a sensing circuit, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: control the display to display, on a first display area, a first execution screen according to execution of a first application; monitor whether an event related to a second application has occurred, while the first execution screen is displayed on the first display area; and control the display to display, in response to at least one of a folding operation sensed through the sensing circuit based on occurrence of the event or a rotating operation of the electronic device, identified from a physical movement based on occurrence of the event, a second execution screen related to the event on the second display area while the first application is being executed.
