ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING DISPLAY AND SCREEN OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096298 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING DISPLAY AND SCREEN OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a display and a sensor that detects geometric deformation of the device. It also includes a processor and memory that stores at least one application. When the application is executed, the processor controls the display to show an execution screen.
- The device checks the rotation mode setting to determine how the screen should be displayed.
- If a geometric deformation event is detected, the device obtains display characteristic information.
- Based on the display characteristic information and the rotation mode setting, the device determines a display mode for the execution screen.
- The device then controls the display to show the execution screen according to the determined display mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile devices with flexible displays that can adapt the screen orientation based on the device's deformation.
- Gaming devices that can adjust the display mode based on the device's shape.
- Smartwatches or fitness trackers that can change the screen layout based on the deformation of the device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- In conventional devices, the screen orientation or layout is fixed and cannot adapt to the device's deformation.
- Users may find it inconvenient to manually adjust the screen orientation or layout when the device is deformed.
- This technology solves these problems by automatically adjusting the display mode based on the device's deformation.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by providing a more intuitive and adaptable display.
- Increased convenience as the device automatically adjusts the display mode without user intervention.
- Enhanced functionality for applications that can take advantage of the device's deformation to provide a more immersive or tailored experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a display, a sensor configured to detect geometric deformation of the electronic device, at least one processor, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing at least one application. The memory may include one or more instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: control the display to display an execution screen of the at least one application on the display in response to execution of the at least one application in the memory; check a rotation mode setting of the electronic device; obtain display characteristic information of the display in response to a geometric deformation event detected by the sensor; determine a display mode of the execution screen based on the display characteristic information and the checked rotation mode setting and map same to the at least one application; and control the display to display the execution screen on the display based on the mapped display mode.
