Abstract

A display method and display device are described where the method includes when a first device is in a first status, the first device displays a first output content of the first device in a first display area of a display module, when it is detected that the first device goes into a second status from the first status, the first device displays the first output content in a second display area of the display module, and displays a second output content in a third display area of the display module, wherein, the first output content is different from the second output content, the second area does not overlap with the third area, and the first area contains the second and third areas.

Dependent claims

A display method applied to a first device including a display module and a first input module, the first device having at least a first state in which it is connected to a second device including a second input module, the display module displays output content of the first device in the first state and is capable of receiving input from the second input module, and a second state in which it is disconnected with the second device, the display module displays the output content of the first device and is capable of receiving input from the first input module, the method comprising steps of:

displaying a first output content of the first device in a first region of the display module by the first device, when the first device is in the first state;
displaying the first output content in a second region of the display module, and displaying a second output content in a third region of the display module by the first device, when it is detected that the first device enters the second state from the first state;
wherein the first output content is different from the second output content, the second region is not overlapped with the third region, and the first region contains the second region and the third region and wherein the first region, the second region and the third region are within the same display module.

A display method applied to a first device including a display module and a first input module, the first device having at least a first state in which it is connected to a second device including a second input module and the display module displays a third output content of the second device in the first state, and a second state in which it is disconnected with the second device, the display module displays a first output content of the first device and is capable of receiving input from the first input module, the method comprising steps of:

displaying the third output content of the second device in a first region of the display module by the first device, when the first device is in the first state;
displaying the first output content in a second region of the display module, and displaying a second output content of the first device in a third region of the display module by the first device, when it is detected that the first device enters the second state from the first state;
wherein the first output content is different from the second output content, the second region is not overlapped with the third region, and the first region contains the second region and the third region and wherein the first region, the second region and the third region are within the same display module.

A display device including a display module and a first input module, the display device as a first device having at least a first state in which it is connected to a second device including a second input module, the display module displays output content of the first device in the first state and is capable of receiving input from the second input module, and a second state in which it is disconnected with the second device, the display module displays the output content of the first device and is capable of receiving input from the first input module, the device further includes a detection module, in which:

the display module is operable to display a first output content of the first device in a first region of the display module, when the first device is in the first state;
the detection module is operable to detect whether the first device enters the second state from the first state or not;
the display module is further operable to display the first output content in a second region of the display module, and to display a second output content in a third region of the display module, when it is detected that the first device enters the second state from the first state by the detection module;
wherein the first output content is different from the second output content, the second region is not overlapped with the third region, and the first region contains the second region and the third region and wherein the first region, the second region and the third region are within the same display module.
