METHOD OF ADJUSTING SIZE OF EXPOSED AREA OF FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18082062 titled 'METHOD OF ADJUSTING SIZE OF EXPOSED AREA OF FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes an electronic device that can adjust the size of a flexible display based on user input. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- An electronic device has a flexible display.
- The device can show an affordance (visual cue) on the display to indicate that the size of the exposed area can be adjusted.
- The device receives information about the desired target size from the user.
- Based on the user's input, the device controls the flexible display to change the size of the exposed area to match the target size.
Potential Applications
- Smartphones or tablets with flexible displays that can be adjusted to show more or less content.
- E-readers with flexible displays that can be resized to accommodate different font sizes or reading preferences.
- Wearable devices with flexible displays that can be adjusted to fit different wrist sizes or display different information.
Problems Solved
- Inflexible displays may not be able to adapt to user preferences or different use cases.
- Users may struggle to see content on a display that is too small or may not be able to fit all desired content on a display that is too large.
- Adjusting the size of a flexible display can help improve user experience and accommodate individual preferences.
Benefits
- Improved user experience by allowing users to customize the size of the display.
- Flexibility to adapt to different use cases or user preferences.
- Enhanced readability and usability by adjusting the display size to fit content appropriately.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may output, on at least a portion of a flexible display, an affordance for adjusting a size of an exposed area of a flexible display, receive information about a target size based on the affordance, and control the flexible display to have the size of the exposed size correspond to the target size.
