ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240329914 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME
The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can be resized and moved from inside to outside the housing. It includes a communication circuit, sensors to identify display visibility, memory, and processors for controlling content display and communication with external devices.
- The electronic device features a flexible display with a resizable region visible outside the housing.
- It includes a communication circuit for data transmission with external devices.
- Sensors are used to identify the size of the display region visible outside the housing.
- Processors control content display on the flexible display and establish communication connections with external devices.
- The device can transmit information to external devices based on sensor data, allowing for synchronized content display.
Potential Applications: - Smartphones and tablets with innovative display capabilities. - Wearable technology with flexible and resizable screens. - Interactive advertising displays with dynamic content changes.
Problems Solved: - Enhanced user experience with flexible display technology. - Improved communication and data sharing between devices. - Efficient use of display space in compact electronic devices.
Benefits: - Versatile display options for different viewing scenarios. - Seamless connectivity with external devices for content sharing. - Enhanced visual appeal and functionality in electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Electronic Device with Flexible Display This technology can be utilized in the development of next-generation smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices. It opens up new possibilities for interactive advertising displays and other commercial applications where dynamic content presentation is crucial.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the flexible display technology improve user experience compared to traditional displays? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing resizable displays in electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
according to various embodiments, there may be provided an electronic device comprising: a housing, a flexible display having a resizable region visible to an outside of the housing by at least a portion being moved from the inside to the outside of the housing, a communication circuit configured to enable transmitting or receiving data to or from an external electronic device, at least one sensor configured to identify a size of a region where the flexible display is visible to the outside of the housing, a memory, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the display to display a first content on first region of the flexible display visible to the outside of the housing, establish communication connection with an external electronic device through the communication circuit, transmit, based on the establishing of the communication connection, first information on the first content to the external electronic device through the communication circuit so that the external electronic device displays the first content, when a second region where the flexible display located inside the housing is visible to the outside of the housing, display second content on a third region including the first region and the second region, based on at least one value obtained using the at least one sensor, identify second information on the second content, to be transmitted to the external electronic device, based on the obtained at least one value, and transmit the identified second information to the external electronic device through the communication circuit so that the external electronic device displays the second content.
