Mobile Terminal Cover Opening Angle Display Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile terminals do not enhance user convenience as they fail to interact with covers, leading to a lack of functionality and emotional satisfaction in user interface (UI) design when the cover is opened.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a touch screen and controller that determines the opening angle of a front cover unit, adjusting the display of pages and objects based on this angle to provide an improved UI experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cover is connected to the mobile terminal for protection, then the mobile terminal is protected from damage, but the mobile terminal cannot perform operations or functions corresponding to cover opening
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile terminal dynamically changes its operational state based on the cover's opening angle. The controller detects the cover opening state and automatically activates or deactivates specific functions (such as display, touch input, audio output) according to predefined angle thresholds, enabling the device to adapt its functionality to the current cover position rather than maintaining a fixed state
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters (function activation status, display state, audio routing) based on the physical parameter of cover opening angle. By monitoring the angular position of the cover, the controller adjusts system behavior to provide appropriate functions at different opening states, transforming a static protection mechanism into a dynamic interaction interface
2Productivity
If the mobile terminal provides a simple UI for transmitting information, then information transmission is efficient, but user emotional satisfaction is not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface dynamically adapts its layout and content based on the cover opening angle. As the cover opens, the display transitions between different UI states (such as showing different pages, adjusting object positions, or revealing additional information), creating an engaging visual experience that responds to user interaction while maintaining information efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback through UI changes that respond to cover opening actions. The display updates in real-time based on detected cover position, giving users immediate visual confirmation of their interaction and enhancing the perceived responsiveness and sophistication of the device without compromising information delivery

AI summary
A mobile terminal and method are provided. The mobile terminal includes a touch screen and a controller which determines an opening angle of a front cover unit of the mobile terminal. The opening angle is an angle between the mobile terminal and a front cover unit included in a cover connected to the mobile terminal. The controller displays one or more pages on the touch screen, where each page is displayed at a proportion determined based on the opening angle.
