Abstract
A method of outputting a includes detecting a touch on a shortcut icon of a plurality of shortcut icons displayed on a touch screen, executing an application corresponding to the shortcut icon in response to the touch, detecting an angle between a first housing including a first touch screen and a second housing including a second touch screen by using a sensor, and determining an output mode based on the angle and a property of the application, and outputting a sound through a plurality of speakers according to the output mode.
Claims25
A method of outputting a sound of a portable apparatus having a plurality of touch screens, the method comprising:
- detecting a touch on a shortcut icon of a plurality of shortcut icons displayed on one of a first touch screen and a second touch screen;
- executing an application corresponding to the shortcut icon in response to the touch;
- detecting an angle between a first housing comprising the first touch screen and a second housing comprising the second touch screen by using a sensor;
- and
- determining an output mode based on the angle and a property of the application, and outputting a sound through a plurality of speakers according to the output mode.
A method of outputting a sound of a portable apparatus having a plurality of touch screens, the method comprising:
- detecting a touch on a shortcut icon of a plurality of shortcut icons displayed on one of a first touch screen and a second touch screen;
- executing an application corresponding to the shortcut icon in response to the touch;
- detecting an angle between the first and second touch screens in a housing comprising the first and second touch screens;
- and
- determining an output mode based on the angle and a property of the application, and outputting a sound through a plurality of speakers according to the output mode,
- wherein the property of the application is at least one of a title of the application and contents executed in the application.
A portable apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of speakers;
- a first touch screen configured to display a plurality of shortcut ions corresponding to an application;
