Abstract
A method and an apparatus for switching a screen in an electronic device that uses a transparent display are provided. In the method, a state where a front direction of the electronic device is reversed from a first direction to a second direction, and a back direction of the electronic device is reversed from the second direction to the first direction are detected. When a front side and a backside of the electronic device are reversed, a left/right reversed screen or an up/down reversed screen is displayed.
Claims20
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a state where a front direction of the electronic device is reversed from a first direction to a second direction, and a back direction of the electronic device is reversed from the second direction to the first direction;
- and
- when a front side and a backside of the electronic device are reversed, displaying a left/right reversed screen or an up/down reversed screen.
An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors,
- wherein the program comprises instructions for detecting a state where a front direction of the electronic device is reversed from a first direction to a second direction, and a back direction of the electronic device is reversed from the second direction to the first direction, and
- when a front side and a backside of the electronic device are reversed, displaying a left/right reversed screen or an up/down reversed screen.
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a user's face from images obtained via at least one of a first camera and a second camera of the electronic device, respectively;
- detecting a state where a front direction of the electronic device is reversed from a first direction to a second direction, and a back direction of the electronic device is reversed from the second direction to the first direction based on the face detection result;
- and
- when a front side and a backside of the electronic device are reversed, displaying a left/right reversed screen or an up/down reversed screen.
