ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING BOTH SHARED SCREEN AND PRIVATE SCREEN, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099415 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING BOTH SHARED SCREEN AND PRIVATE SCREEN, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes an electronic device that can provide both a shared screen and a private screen. Here are the key points:
- The electronic device is designed to display a first screen on a flexible display when connected to an external electronic device via a communication module.
- A second screen corresponding to the first screen is displayed on the external electronic device.
- When a first event occurs that expands the flexible display, a third screen different from the first screen is displayed on the expanded flexible display, along with the first screen.
- The external electronic device is controlled so that only the second screen is displayed on it.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Collaborative work environments where multiple users can view and interact with different screens simultaneously.
- Presentations or meetings where one user can have a private screen for notes or additional information while others view a shared screen.
- Gaming or entertainment scenarios where one user can have a private screen for controls or personal content while others view a shared screen.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a flexible display that can expand to show additional content, allowing for a more versatile user experience.
- Enables simultaneous display of different screens on the electronic device and the external device, enhancing collaboration and multitasking capabilities.
- Allows for privacy by providing a private screen option while still sharing content on the external device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved productivity and efficiency in collaborative work environments.
- Enhanced user experience with the flexibility to switch between shared and private screens.
- Increased privacy options for users in various scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are an electronic device for providing both a shared screen and a private screen, and a control method therefor. The electronic device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may be configured to: display a first screen on a flexible display in a state where the electronic device and an external electronic device are operably connected via a communication module; display a second screen corresponding to the first screen on the external electronic device; detect the occurrence of a first event for expanding the flexible display; according to the detection of the occurrence of the first event, display, along with the first screen, a third screen different from the first screen on the expanded flexible display; and control the external electronic device so that only the second screen is displayed on the external electronic device.
