Multi display apparatus and multi display method

Abstract

A multi display apparatus includes a first body including a first display, a second body including a second display, a hinge configured to rotatably connect the first body and the second body to support the first body and the second body, a sensor configured to sense a first user manipulation made in a nondecisive location of a nonstructured first screen displayed on the first display and to sense a second user manipulation made in a nondecisive location of a nonstructured second screen displayed on the second display, and a controller configured to combine the sensed first user manipulation and second user manipulation to perform an operation corresponding to a result of the combination.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation Application of prior application Ser. No. 14 / 050,936, filed on Oct. 10, 2013 in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0112638, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 10, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Methods and apparatuses consistent with the exemplary embodiments of the present general inventive concept relate to a multi display apparatus, and more particularly to a multi display apparatus configured to receive inputs through each display thereof and to perform outputting accordingly, and a multi display method thereof.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A portable electronic apparatus in recent use such as a smart phone generally has one display.[0006]However, as the performance o...

Benefits of technology

Enhances user experience by enabling efficient multi-tasking and input / output operations across multiple screens, providing a more intuitive and interactive interface by integrating user inputs from multiple displays and adjusting functions dynamically based on user interactions.

Problems solved by technology

However, as the performance of a Central Processing Unit (CPU) mounted in a portable electronic apparatus increases and multi-tasking environments capable of executing various applications at the same time are provided, it becomes difficult to effectively utilize the performance a display apparatus having just one display.

In addition, due to the development of battery technologies and thermal treatment systems, the design paradigm that a portable electronic apparatus may only have one display is not an acceptable truth any more.
