Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for displaying an image including information on a second display (540) of an electronic device (400, 500). In order to display the image in a useful manner, the image is displayed according to whether a state of the electronic device (400, 500) satisfies a first condition. In addition, in order to prevent the information of the image from being displayed in an undesired manner, when the state of the electronic device (400, 500) satisfies a second condition, the displaying of the image may be prevented, or a suit cover image may be displayed.

Description

Electronic device and method of operation thereof

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device capable of updating an image of a display (e.g., a non-volatile display, an electronic ink (E-ink) display, an electrophoretic display) that can maintain a screen without power, and a method of operating the same.

[0002] Electronic devices can refer to devices that perform specified functions based on embedded programs, such as electronic products, electronic notebooks, portable multimedia players, mobile communication terminals, tablet PCs, audio / video devices, desktop / laptop computers, or in-vehicle navigation systems. Electronic devices can provide a variety of functions, such as phone calls and multimedia file playback. Electronic devices are becoming increasingly slimmer, more rigid, and more aesthetically pleasing, while their functional elements are being differentiated.

[0003] A typical display may consume power to maintain its screen. A display capable of maintaining its screen without power can maintain the final displayed image (e.g., the final screen) for a certain period of time, and may consume virtually no power to maintain the screen. Electronic devices may include displays capable of maintaining their screens without power (e.g., non-volatile displays, electronic ink (E-ink) displays, electrophoretic displays). A display capable of maintaining its screen without power can be applied to devices that maintain the same screen for a certain period of time, such as e-book readers. A display capable of maintaining its screen without power can be applied as a sub-display placed outside of an electronic device.

[0004] The above-described material is provided solely as background information to aid in understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no claims are made, as to whether any of the above material constitutes prior art in connection with the present disclosure.

[0005] When a display capable of maintaining its screen without power (e.g., non-volatile display, electronic ink (E-ink) display, electrophoretic display) is applied, the final displayed image (e.g., final screen) can be maintained for a certain period of time without consuming power. If the battery of the electronic device is discharged, the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the display capable of maintaining its screen without power cannot be changed. When the image is updated on the display capable of maintaining its screen without power, practically no power is required to maintain the final image (e.g., final screen). Even when the battery of the electronic device is discharged, the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the display capable of maintaining its screen without power can remain displayed. For example, if the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the display capable of maintaining its screen without power contains sensitive, personal, and / or invalid information, the sensitive, personal, and / or invalid information may be exposed to an external party.

[0006] One embodiment of the present disclosure may provide an electronic device and a method of operating the same that can update (e.g., change) an image of a display (e.g., a non-volatile display, an electronic ink (E-ink) display, an electrophoretic display) that can maintain a screen without power according to set conditions.

[0007] One embodiment of the present disclosure may provide an electronic device and a method of operating the same that can update (e.g., change) a final image (e.g., a final screen) displayed on a display capable of maintaining a screen without power (e.g., a non-volatile display, an electronic ink (E-ink) display, an electrophoretic display) with a different image when the final image contains user sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information.

[0008] One embodiment of the present disclosure provides blinding (e.g., blocking) of user sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information contained in a final image (e.g., a final screen) displayed on a display capable of maintaining a screen without power (e.g., a non-volatile display, an electronic ink (E-ink) display, an electrophoretic display), when the final image contains user sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information.

[0009] The technical challenges addressed in this document are not limited to the technical challenges mentioned above, and may be expanded upon without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Other technical challenges not mentioned will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which this document pertains, as described below.

The housing may include a first housing and a second housing. The hinge part may rotatably connect the first housing and the second housing. The first display may be disposed on a first surface of the first housing and a first surface of the second housing. The second display may be disposed on a second surface of the first housing and / or a second surface of the second housing. The battery may supply power to the first display and the second display. The memory may store instructions. When the instructions are individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, the electronic device may determine whether status information of the electronic device satisfies a first specific condition. The electronic device may display a first image on the second display based on whether the status information of the electronic device satisfies the first specific condition. The electronic device may determine whether status information of the electronic device satisfies a second specific condition while displaying the first image on the second display. The electronic device may prevent displaying at least a portion of the first image based on whether the status information of the electronic device satisfies the second specific condition.

The operating method may determine whether status information of the electronic device satisfies a first specific condition. Based on whether the status information of the electronic device satisfies the first specific condition, a first image may be displayed on the second display. The operating method may determine whether the status information of the electronic device satisfies the second specific condition while displaying the first image on the second display. The above operating method may prevent at least a portion of the first image from being displayed based on the state information of the electronic device satisfying the second specific condition.

[0012] A recording medium storing instructions readable by a processor of an electronic device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to determine whether state information of the electronic device satisfies a first specific condition. The instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to display a first image on the second display based on the state information of the electronic device satisfying the first specific condition. The instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to determine whether state information of the electronic device satisfies a second specific condition while displaying the first image on the second display. The instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to not display at least a portion of the first image based on the state information of the electronic device satisfying the second specific condition.

[0013] An electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include a housing, a first display disposed in a first portion of the housing, the first display including an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED) or a liquid crystal display (LCD), a second display disposed in a second portion of the housing, a second display that does not require power to maintain an image on the second display after the image is updated on the second display (540), the second display including an electronic ink display or an electrophoretic display, a battery, and at least one processor, and a memory configured to store instructions that operate the electronic device when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor. When the instructions are individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, the electronic device may display a first image on the second display (540) and determine whether status information of the electronic device satisfies a defined condition. When the above instructions are individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, the electronic device can control the second display to change a portion of the first image based on determining that the state information of the electronic device satisfies the defined condition.

The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0074] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna.

[0218] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can obtain digital coordinate data input from the digitizer (460). The processor (120) can detect an input (e.g., a touch input or a hovering input) through an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) based on the digital coordinate data. For example, the digitizer (460) can include a plurality of x-axis channels and a plurality of y-axis channels. The processor (120) can sense the position of the electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) using sensing signals (e.g., EMR signals) received from the x-axis channels and the y-axis channels arranged in the digitizer (460). For example, a digitizer (460) may have a plurality of x-axis channels and a plurality of y-axis channels sequentially arranged, and a processor (120) may sense the position of an electronic pen (e.g., a stylus pen) using sensing signals (e.g., EMR signals) received from three consecutive channels (e.g., three adjacent channels).

[0219] In one embodiment, the digitizer (460) may be hidden from view from the outside by the display (410), electronic components, and mechanisms.

[0220] For example, the digitizer (460) may be disposed integrally with the flat display (410) or disposed adjacent to the flat display (410).

The image analysis module (490) (e.g., the image analysis AI module) may provide the processor (510) with information about the area (location) where the invalid information is located in the image.

[0242] According to one embodiment, the image analysis module (490) (e.g., image analysis AI module) may determine whether an image displayed on the cover display (540) needs to be updated (e.g., determine whether it corresponds to an image that needs to be updated). The image analysis module (490) (e.g., image analysis AI module) may provide the result of determining whether an image needs to be updated (e.g., determine whether it corresponds to an image that needs to be updated) to the processor (510).

[0243] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may update (e.g., change) the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) according to set conditions. For example, the final image (e.g., final screen) may refer to the image (e.g., screen) last displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display).

[0244] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may update (e.g., change) the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) to a different image if the final image contains sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost its validity.

[0245] According to one embodiment, if the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) includes sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information of the user, the processor (510) may blind the sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information of the user included in the image. For example, the processor (510) may display the portion where the sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information of the user is displayed as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that the sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information of the user included in the image is not visible.

[0246] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may include an image file access unit (511), a terminal information receiving unit (512), an update determination unit (513), a scheduler (514), a battery detection unit (515), an update time determination unit (516), and an update time confirmation unit (517).

[0247] For example, the image file access unit (511) can collect (e.g., obtain) information about a file (e.g., an image) when the file (e.g., an image) is updated on the cover display (540, sub display, external display). The image file access unit (511) can collect (e.g., obtain) information about the application that created the file (e.g., an image).

[0249] For example, the update determination unit (513) can determine whether the image displayed (or updated) on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) includes the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost its validity. If the image displayed (or updated) on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) includes the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost its validity, the update determination unit (513) can determine whether to update (e.g., change) the image displayed (or updated) on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) when the battery (189) (e.g., the battery (189) of FIG. 1) is discharged. For example, if the remaining amount of the battery (189) (e.g., the battery (189) of FIG. 1) is below a certain amount (e.g., 10%), the update determination unit (513) can determine whether to update (e.g., change) the image displayed (or updated) on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display).

[0250] For example, the scheduler (514) can schedule an image update of the cover display (540, sub display, external display) and cause the image to be updated at a specific time.

[0251] For example, the battery detection unit (515) can monitor the usage of the battery (189) of the electronic device (500) and check the remaining amount of the battery (189) to detect whether the battery (189) is discharged. For example, the battery detection unit (515) can detect that the remaining amount of the battery (189) is below a certain amount (e.g., 10%).

[0252] For example, the update timing determining unit (516) may determine whether the final image (e.g., the final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub display, external display) needs to be updated (e.g., whether it corresponds to an image requiring an update). The update timing determining unit (516) may determine whether the final image (e.g., the final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub display, external display) includes the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost its validity.

[0253] For example, the update time check unit (517) can periodically check the time when the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub display, external display) is updated (e.g., changed) to a different image.

[0254] FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating updating (e.g., changing) a final image (e.g., a final screen) displayed on a cover display (e.g., a sub display, an external display).

[0255] Referring to FIGS. 5A, 6, and 7, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (500) can update (e.g., change) a final image (e.g., a final screen) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display).

The electronic device (500) can store the image (e.g., an admission ticket image) obtained through the screen capture in the internal storage (530) (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 4).

[0258] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (500) may classify an acquired image (e.g., an admission ticket image) as a media file. The electronic device (500) may store additional information (e.g., the application that created the file and / or the date of creation) about the image classified as a media file (e.g., an admission ticket image) together with the acquired image (e.g., an admission ticket image) in internal storage (530) (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 4 ).

[0259] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (500) may operate a media provider (520) to retrieve and load an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) stored in the internal storage (530). For example, the electronic device (500) may operate an application (e.g., a gallery application) to display (710) an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) acquired from the internal storage (530) on the display (560) (e.g., the flexible display (330) of FIGS. 3A and 3B). For example, the electronic device (500) may display an image update menu (711) on the display (560) (e.g., the flexible display (330) of FIGS. 3A and 3B) to update (e.g., change) an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) acquired from the internal storage (530) to an image of the cover display (540, a sub-display, an external display). For example, the image viewer function of the electronic device (500) can be executed to display an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) stored in the internal storage (530) to the user.

[0260] According to one embodiment, a user may request an update (e.g., change) of an image of a cover display (540, sub-display, external display) by clicking an image update menu (711) displayed on a display (560). Based on the user's request, the electronic device (500) may update (e.g., change) an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) acquired from internal storage (530) to an image of a cover display (540, sub-display, external display) (720).

[0261] According to one embodiment, after a user selects an image update menu (711), an operation of updating (e.g., changing) an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) on a cover display (540, sub-display, external display) may be performed in the background.

[0262] For example, the processor (510) may include a component (510a) (e.g., a flex suit settings component) for updating (e.g., changing) an image (e.g., an admission ticket image) on the cover display (540, a sub-display, an external display). When an update (e.g., changing) of an image displayed on the cover display (540, a sub-display, an external display) is requested through an application, the processor (510) may obtain related information (e.g., a file path, a uniform resource locator (URL) of the file) for accessing the original image through the component (510a) (e.g., the flex suit settings component). The processor (120) may access the original file through the related information, look up information about the original file, and update the obtained image on the cover display (540, a sub-display, an external display).

[0263] According to one embodiment, when an image is updated on a cover display (540, sub-display, external display) that can maintain a screen without power, power is not required to maintain the final image (e.g., final screen) of the cover display (540, sub-display, external display). Even if the battery (189) of the electronic device (500) is discharged, the final image (e.g., final screen) of the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) can remain displayed. For example, if the final image (e.g., final screen) displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) includes sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost validity, the sensitive information, personal information, and / or information that has lost validity may be exposed to the outside. When the battery (189) is discharged, the electronic device (500) can update (e.g., change) the image of the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) so that sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information of the user displayed on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) are not exposed to the outside. For example, the electronic device (500) can update (e.g., change) the image displayed (or updated) on the cover display (540, sub-display, external display) when the remaining amount of the battery (189) (e.g., the battery (189) of FIG. 1) is below a certain amount (e.g., 10%) or when the battery (189) is discharged.

[0341] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may determine whether an update time of the image has occurred based on location information included in the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). If the electronic device (500) leaves the set location based on the location information included in the displayed image (1510), the processor (510) may update (e.g., change) the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) to another image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image).

[0342] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may determine whether an update point of the image has occurred based on time information and location information included in the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). If the electronic device (500) leaves a set location based on the time information and location information included in the displayed image (1510), the processor (510) may update (e.g., change) the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) to another image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image).

[0343] For example, the processor (510) can update (e.g., change) an image (1510) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) to an image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image) that is substantially the same as the external cover (e.g., the external cover (541) of FIG. 15).

[0344] For example, since the cover display (540) (e.g., sub display, external display) displays an image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image) that is substantially the same as the external cover (541), the cover display (540) can be viewed as a suit cover that is substantially the same as the external cover (541) when viewed from the outside.

[0345] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an image being updated (e.g., changed) by battery discharge before the image displayed on a cover display (e.g., sub display, external display) is updated (e.g., changed).

[0346] Referring to FIGS. 5A and 16 , according to one embodiment, the electronic device (500) may determine whether an update point of an image (1510) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) has occurred based on time information included in the image (1510). If the update point of the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) has not occurred (e.g., before the update point), the electronic device (500) may determine whether the battery (189) is discharged or the remaining amount of the battery (189) is less than or equal to a reference amount (e.g., 10%) (battery low). The electronic device (500) can update (e.g., change) the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display) to another image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image) when the battery (189) is discharged or the remaining amount of the battery (189) is below a reference amount (e.g., 10%) (battery low) even when the update point of the image (1510) has not occurred (e.g., before the update point).

[0347] According to one embodiment, the processor (510) may determine whether an update point of the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) has occurred based on time information included in the image (1510). If the update point of the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) has not occurred (e.g., before the update point), the processor (510) may determine whether the battery (189) has been discharged or the remaining amount of the battery (189) is less than or equal to a reference amount (e.g., 10%) (battery low). The processor (510) can update (e.g., change) the image (1510) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display) to another image (1520) (e.g., a suit cover image) when the battery (189) is discharged or the remaining amount of the battery (189) is below a reference amount (e.g., 10%) (battery low) even when the update point of the image (1510) has not occurred (e.g., before the update point).

[0348] According to one embodiment, a memory (e.g., memory (130) of FIG. 4) may include (e.g., store) instructions for the electronic device (500) to perform the operations of FIGS. 15 and 16.

[0349] According to one embodiment, memory (e.g., memory (130) of FIG. 4) may include (e.g., store) instructions for the processor (510) to perform the operations of FIGS. 15 and 16.

[0350] FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are diagrams showing an update (e.g., change) point in time of an image displayed on a cover display (e.g., a sub display, an external display) and an update (e.g., change) of the image.

[0351] Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 17, according to one embodiment, when an update (e.g., change) point of an image (1710) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) occurs, the electronic device (500) can update (e.g., change) the image (1710) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) to a different image.

[0352] According to one embodiment, when an update (e.g., change) point of an image (1710) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) occurs, the electronic device (500) may blind (e.g., block) the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information in the image (1710) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). For example, the electronic device (500) may display the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information included in the image as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that it is not visible.

[0353] For example, the electronic device (500) may cover (e.g., block) a barcode (1721) for accessing a place, a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in an image (1710) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). For example, the electronic device (500) may display the barcode (1721) for accessing a place, a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in the image as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that the barcode (1721), the user's name (1722), and / or the phone number (1723) included in the image are not visible.

[0354] According to one embodiment, when an update (e.g., change) point of an image (1710) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) occurs, the processor (510) may obscure (e.g., block) user sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information in the image (1710) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). For example, the processor (510) may display user sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information included in the image as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that it is not visible.

[0355] For example, the processor (510) may cover (e.g., block) a barcode (1721) for accessing a location, a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in an image (1710) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display). For example, the processor (510) may display the barcode (1721) for accessing a location, a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in the image as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that the barcode (1721), the user's name (1722), and / or the phone number (1723) are not visible.

[0356] Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 18, according to one embodiment, when an update (e.g., change) point of an image (1810) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) occurs, the electronic device (500) can sequentially obscure (e.g., block) the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalidated information in the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display).

[0357] For example, the electronic device (500) can preferentially hide (e.g., block) user information among the information included in the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display) (1821). Through this, the electronic device (500) can update the image (1820) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display).

[0358] For example, the electronic device (500) may, among the barcode for entering a place (e.g., barcode (1721) of FIG. 17), the user's name (e.g., user name (1722) of FIG. 17), and / or the phone number (e.g., phone number (1723) of FIG. 17) included in the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display), preferentially cover (e.g., block) the user's name (e.g., user name (1722) of FIG. 17) and / or the phone number (e.g., phone number (1723) of FIG. 17) (1821). Thereafter, the electronic device (500) may cover (e.g., block) the barcode (1721) for entering a place (1831). Through this, the electronic device (500) may sequentially update the image (1830) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display). For example, the electronic device (500) may display a barcode (1721), a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in the image as a black block (or a block of another color) so that they are not visible.

[0359] According to one embodiment, when an update (e.g., change) point of an image (1810) displayed on a cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display) occurs, the processor (510) may sequentially obscure (e.g., block) the user's sensitive information, personal information, and / or invalid information from the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., a sub-display, an external display).

[0360] For example, the processor (510) may preferentially cover (e.g., block) user information among the information included in the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display) (1821). Through this, the processor (510) may update the image (1820) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display).

[0361] For example, the processor (510) may, among the barcode for entering a place (e.g., barcode (1721) of FIG. 17), the user's name (e.g., user name (1722) of FIG. 17), and / or the phone number (e.g., phone number (1723) of FIG. 17) included in the image (1810) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display), preferentially cover (e.g., block) the user's name (e.g., user name (1722) of FIG. 17) and / or the phone number (e.g., phone number (1723) of FIG. 17) (1821). Thereafter, the processor (510) may cover (blind) the barcode (1721) for entering a place (1831). Through this, the processor (510) may sequentially update the image (1830) displayed on the cover display (540) (e.g., sub-display, external display). For example, the processor (510) may display a barcode (1721), a user's name (1722), and / or a phone number (1723) included in the image as a black block (or a block of a different color) so that they are not visible.
