Shape-Changeable Display Content Duplication via Rotation Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of shape-changeable electronic devices face inconvenience in restoring original content after altering the display shape through touch inputs, as they must manually search for and restore the original content, and there is a need for an efficient method to manage content display on foldable devices with changeable displays.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a shape-changeable display, equipped with sensors and processors that detect rotation information, generate additional content, and control the display to show content on different areas, providing a duplication mode for easy editing and managing content changes based on rotation information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display shape is changed through touch inputs (zoom-in, zoom-out, scroll), then the display area utilization is improved, but the user must manually restore and search for original content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by creating a duplicate of the original content that is automatically generated and stored when the display shape changes. This copy allows the user to easily restore the original content without manual searching, as the system retains a replica of the initial state for quick retrieval.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating and storing content copies before the user needs to restore the original. When a shape change occurs, the system proactively creates and saves the original content state, so that restoration can happen instantly without requiring the user to manually search or revert through multiple steps.
2Productivity
If additional content is generated and displayed on different areas, then content editing efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display into multiple independent areas, each capable of showing different content simultaneously. This allows the original content and additional content to be displayed in separate regions, enabling efficient content editing by providing both the source material and editing interface at the same time without requiring complex coordination between display elements.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a sensor and at least one processor configured to display content on the display, detect rotation information of the electronic device upon detecting shape change information of the display through the sensor, determine control information based on the rotation information of the electronic device, generate additional content corresponding to the content based on the control information, and display the content and the additional content on different display areas of the display.
