Abstract:
An electronic device including a flexible display and a method of transitioning a first execution screen of a first application from one screen area of the flexible display to a second screen area are described. The first area may have a first screen ratio, whereas the second area may have a second screen ratio. The transition may be based on a folded/unfolded state of the electronic device. The transition may be triggered based on switching to/from a folded state. Several other screen areas may be used for additional transitions and provide visual effects to provide a seamless user experience through such transitions.
Abstract:
A method of displaying a nearby point of interest (POI) using augmented reality and an electronic device thereof. An operation method of an electronic device includes: acquiring a preview video; acquiring location information of the electronic device; acquiring information on at least one POI located in a vicinity; selecting a focus POI among at least one POI; determining first information to be provided to a user for general POIs; determining second information including more information than the first information to be provided to the user for the focus POI; determining a location on a screen on which the preview video in which the information on the at least one POI is to be displayed; and displaying the first information or the second information on the location on the screen on which the determined preview video of all or some of the at least one POI is provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for providing a user interface, in which an electronic device divides a display region into a main region and a sub-region and displays default information or event information on the sub-region. The electronic device determines whether there is a user input on the sub-region. If the user input moves more from the sub-region than a first distance, the electronic device extends the sub-region and displays detailed default information or detailed event information.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a flexible display including a display area, wherein the display area is extendable in one or more directions with respect to the housing by moving a portion of the flexible display through the housing to be visually exposed, and at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the flexible display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to display first content on a first area of the flexible display, detect an event for displaying second content related to the first content, identify an attribute of the second content according to the detection of the event, identify a direction in which the flexible display is to be extended based on the attribute of the second content, and display at least a portion of the second content in a second area of the flexible display extended in the identified direction.
Abstract:
An eye tracking based user function controlling method and a mobile device adapted thereto are provided. A camera unit of a mobile device is activated while a specific user function is executed. A gaze angle of a user's eye is acquired from an image obtained via the camera unit. An eye tracking function is executed in which execution state is controlled according to the gaze angle.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided and includes a display, memory, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs cause the electronic device to display a first screen in a first area of the display during a first state, detect an event in a state display a first object corresponding to the event in a partial area of the first area, identify a first gesture input of a user in an area, and change a state of the display from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the second area of the display are exposed to the outside of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A storage medium that stores commands, the commands being configured to enable at least one processor of an electronic device to perform at least one operation when executed by the at least one processor is provided. The at least one operation comprises identifying a remaining amount of a battery of the electronic device and a power consumption rate of the electronic device, and controlling, based on the remaining amount of battery and the power consumption rate, a driving circuit of the electronic device to switch a display of the electronic device from a first state to a second state, wherein a first area of the display is exposed in the first state, the first area including a second area and a third area and wherein the second area is exposed and the third area is not exposed in the second state.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying an image in a portable terminal includes a camera to photograph the image, a touch screen to display the image and to allow selecting an object area of the displayed image, a memory to store the image, a controller to detect at least one object area within the image when displaying the image of the camera or the memory and to recognize object information of the detected object area to be converted into a voice, and an audio processing unit to output the voice.
Abstract:
A touch sensitive device allows a touch-based manipulation for contents displayed thereon. In a method, the device receives a predefined input event when a content screen is displayed on a display unit, determines whether a closed curve is formed on the display unit by the input event, and crops a specific content region defined by the closed curve.
