A method for controlling a portable apparatus including a flexible display, the method comprising:
- detecting a bent portion of the flexible display;
- displaying a User Interface (UI) on the detected bent portion of the flexible display;
- detecting an input through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display;
- and
- performing an operation corresponding to the input detected through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display.
A portable apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible display;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a bent portion of the flexible display, display a User Interface (UI) on the detected bent portion of the flexible display, detect an input through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display, and control the portable apparatus to perform an operation corresponding to the input detected through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display.
A method for controlling a portable apparatus including a flexible display, the method comprising:
- detecting a bent portion of the flexible display;
- comparing a curvature of the bent portion to a threshold curvature;
- and
- if the curvature of the flexible display is less than the threshold curvature, displaying a User Interface (UI) on the detected bent portion of the flexible display, detecting an input through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display, and performing an operation corresponding to the input detected through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display.
A portable apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible display;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a bent portion of the flexible display, compare a curvature of the bent portion to a threshold curvature, and if the curvature of the flexible display is less than the threshold curvature, display a User Interface (UI) on the detected bent portion of the flexible display, detect an input through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display, and control the portable apparatus to perform an operation corresponding to the input detected through the UI displayed on the detected bent portion of the display.
