ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING VARIOUS USER INTERFACES THROUGH PLURALITY OF DISPLAYS, AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18105475 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING VARIOUS USER INTERFACES THROUGH PLURALITY OF DISPLAYS, AND METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device with two housings connected by a hinge unit and two displays. It also has a sensor to detect the folding angle between the housings and a processor to acquire information from the sensor.
- The device can determine the folding angle and provide a user interface accordingly.
- If the folding angle is less than a certain angle, it can activate or deactivate the second display.
- If the folding angle is within a specific range, it can activate either the second display or the first display.
Potential Applications
- Foldable smartphones or tablets with multiple displays.
- E-book readers with a foldable design.
- Portable gaming devices with flexible screens.
Problems Solved
- Provides a seamless user experience by adjusting the user interface based on the folding angle.
- Allows for more versatile and compact designs for electronic devices.
- Enhances usability and functionality by utilizing multiple displays.
Benefits
- Improved user experience with adaptive user interfaces.
- Increased portability and convenience with foldable designs.
- Enhanced productivity and multitasking capabilities with multiple displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device having a first housing and a second housing connected by a hinge unit. The electronic device also having a first display and a second display, and a first sensor configured to detect a folding angle formed by the first housing and the second housing. The electronic device also having a processor configured to acquire information on the folding angle through the first sensor. Based on a determination that the folding angle is less than a first angle, provide a user interface according to an activation mode or an inactivation mode of the second display. Based on a determination that the folding angle is at least the first angle and less than a second angle, provide the user interface according to at least one of the activation mode of the second display or an activation mode of the first display.
