Flexible Display Screen Sharing and Private Notification Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with flexible displays lack technical consideration for what screen is displayed and how notification events are handled when mirroring or Dex mode is used, especially when sharing the screen with external devices.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device provides technical considerations for determining what screen is displayed and how notification events are processed when in mirroring or Dex mode, utilizing a flexible display to manage screen sharing and notification handling across various types of electronic devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If screen mirroring or Dex mode is used to share the display with external devices, then screen sharing capability is improved, but notification event handling becomes complex and unclear
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple independent screens (first screen and second screen), allowing different content to be displayed simultaneously. The first screen shows content intended for the user, while the second screen mirrors content for external devices. Notification events are then segmented and routed to appropriate screens based on their nature and security requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display system are assigned different functional qualities. The first screen area is optimized for user interaction and private content, while the second screen area is optimized for sharing and collaboration. Notification events receive different treatment based on their location and type - some are displayed on both screens, while others are restricted to specific screens based on security policies.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple screens are displayed simultaneously for sharing and private use, then screen sharing functionality is improved, but determination of what screen to display becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes security policies and display rules before notification events occur. These policies define which types of notifications should appear on which screens based on factors like application type, content sensitivity, and user preferences. When a notification event occurs, the system simply applies the pre-determined rules rather than making complex decisions in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where user responses to notifications on one screen can influence display behavior on other screens. For example, if a user dismisses a notification on the first screen, the system feedbacks this action to update the display state on the second screen accordingly, maintaining consistency while respecting user intent.

AI summary
Disclosed are an electronic device for providing both a shared screen and a private screen, and a control method therefor. The electronic device, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may be configured to: display a first screen on a flexible display in a state where the electronic device and an external electronic device are operably connected via a communication module; display a second screen corresponding to the first screen on the external electronic device; detect the occurrence of a first event for expanding the flexible display; according to the detection of the occurrence of the first event, display, along with the first screen, a third screen different from the first screen on the expanded flexible display; and control the external electronic device so that only the second screen is displayed on the external electronic device.
