Abstract
An embodiment provides a portable computing device including: a first chassis provided with a first touch display unit; a second chassis provided with a second touch display unit; a coupling part which rotatably couples the first chassis and the second chassis to each other; and control unit which displays screen state information indicating a display state of one or more of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit on one or more of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A portable computing device comprising:
- a first chassis provided with a first touch display unit;
- a second chassis provided with a second touch display unit;
- a coupling part which rotatably couples the first chassis and the second chassis to each other;
- and
- a control unit which displays screen state information indicating a power state and a content identifier of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit on both of the touch display units;
- wherein the power state for each of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit indicates an on/off status of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit;
- wherein the power state is represented by a symbol and wherein the content identifier corresponds to a word indicating an application type for a currently displayed application;
- wherein the symbol representing the power state for the first touch display unit is different than the symbol representing the power state for the second touch display unit;
- wherein the content identifier on each of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit indicates the application type for the currently displayed application on the opposite display unit.

A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage device storing code that is executable by a processor and comprises:
- code that displays screen state information for a portable computing device in which a first chassis provided with a first touch display unit is rotatably coupled to a second chassis provided with a second touch display unit;
- and
- code that indicates a power state and a content identifier of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit on both of the touch display units;
- wherein the power state for each of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit indicates an on/off status of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit;
- wherein the power state is represented by a symbol and wherein the content identifier corresponds to a word indicating an application type for a currently displayed application;
- wherein the symbol representing the power state for the first touch display unit is different than the symbol representing the power state for the second touch display unit;
- wherein the content identifier on each of the first touch display unit and the second touch display unit indicates the application type for the currently displayed application on the opposite display unit.
