ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING FUNCTION EXECUTION SCREEN AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17991932 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING FUNCTION EXECUTION SCREEN AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with two housings connected by a hinge, a display, a location sensor, other sensors, memory, and a processor. The processor can identify the device's location and folding state through the sensors and perform a pre-set function based on these factors.
- The electronic device consists of two housings connected by a hinge.
- It features a display that is visible when the device is unfolded.
- The device includes a location sensor to determine its geographical position.
- It also incorporates other sensors apart from the location sensor.
- The device has a memory to store data and a processor to control its functions.
- The processor can identify the device's location using the location sensor.
- It can also detect the folding state of the device using the other sensors.
- Based on the location and folding state, the processor can perform a pre-set function.
Potential Applications
- Smartphones or tablets with location-based features that change based on the device's folding state.
- Navigation devices that adjust their interface and functionality based on whether they are folded or unfolded.
- Gaming devices that offer different gameplay experiences depending on the device's folding state.
- Wearable devices that adapt their functionality based on the user's location and folding state.
Problems Solved
- Provides a more versatile and adaptable user experience by incorporating the device's folding state and location into its functionality.
- Allows for more intuitive and context-aware interactions with the device.
- Enhances the user's ability to customize and personalize the device's behavior based on their preferences and needs.
Benefits
- Improved user experience with a device that can adapt to different situations and contexts.
- Increased convenience and efficiency by automatically adjusting the device's functionality based on its folding state and location.
- Enhanced customization options, allowing users to define specific actions or functions based on their preferences and requirements.
