Abstract
A mobile device including a first display, a second display, a foldable coupling portion for coupling the first display to the second display, an angle sensing unit for sensing a folding angle between the first display and the second display, a direction-of-sight sensing unit for sensing a direction of sight of a user, and a controller for determining whether to use a touch input sensed by either the first display or the second display based on the sensed folding angle and the sensed direction of sight.
Claims15
A mobile device comprising:
- a first display;
- a second display;
- a foldable coupling portion for coupling the first display to the second display;
- an angle sensing unit for sensing a folding angle between the first display and the second display;
- a direction-of-sight sensing unit for sensing a direction of sight of a user;
- and
- a controller for determining whether to use a touch input sensed by either the first display or the second display based on the sensed folding angle and the sensed direction of sight.
A method for operating a mobile device comprising a first display coupled to a second display by a foldable coupling portion, the method comprising:
- sensing a folding angle between the first display and the second display;
- sensing a direction of sight of a user;
- and
- controlling whether a touch input sensed by the first display or the second display is used based on the folding angle and the direction of sight.
