Abstract
A display apparatus includes: a display; a motor configured to rotate the display; a sensor configured to sense rotation of the display; and a processor configured to output a driving signal for rotating the display in a first direction to the motor when an event for rotating the display from a first posture to a second posture occurs and output a driving signal for rotating the display in a second direction to the motor when it is identified that the display collides with an object on the basis of the driving signal output to the motor and a signal received from the sensor while the display rotates.
Claims20
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a motor configured to rotate the display;
- a sensor configured to sense a rotation of the display;
- and
- a processor configured to based on an event for rotating the display from a first posture to a second posture occurring, output, to the motor, a driving signal including first pulse signals which is for rotating the display in a first direction,
- identify whether the display is collided with an object while the display is rotating, based on the first pulse signals output to the motor and a signal, including second pulse signals, received from the sensor while the display is rotating, and
- based on identifying that the display is collided with the object, output, to the motor, a driving signal for rotating the display in a second direction, opposite to the first direction.
A method comprising:
- based on an event for rotating a display of a display apparatus from a first posture to a second posture occurring, outputting, to a motor of the display apparatus, a driving signal including first pulse signals which is for rotating the display in a first direction;
- identifying whether the display is collided with an object while the display is rotating, based on the first pulse signals output to the motor and a signal, including second pulse signals, received from a sensor of the display apparatus while the display is rotating;
- and
- based on identifying that the display is collided with the object, outputting, to the motor, a driving signal for rotating the display in a second direction, opposite to the first direction.
