Abstract
Embodiments relate to an electronic device including a mobile terminal on which a plurality of applications is executed and a case thereof, wherein the mobile terminal includes a terminal body coupled to the case, a connection port provided on one side of the terminal body, a first display, and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to: display a list on the first display, detect a drag on the list, and display an execution screen of an application corresponding to the drag on the second display, wherein the list corresponds to the plurality of applications.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a mobile terminal on which a plurality of applications are executed;
- and
- a case,
- wherein the mobile terminal comprises:
- a terminal body coupled to the case;
- a connection port provided on one side of the terminal body;
- a first display;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the case comprises:
- a first body accommodating the mobile terminal;
- a second body rotatably coupled to the first body;
- a connector protruded toward an inner side of the first body and inserted into the connection port;
- a second display provided on the second body;
- and
- a connection portion disposed between the first display and the second display and electrically coupling the second display with the first body and the second body, and
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- cause the first display to display a list of the plurality of applications;
- and
- cause the second display to display an execution screen of an application among the plurality of applications in response to a drag input received on the list.
A method for controlling an electronic device comprising a mobile terminal and a case,
- wherein the mobile terminal comprises:
- a terminal body coupled to the case;
- a connection port provided in the terminal;
- a first display;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the case comprises:
- a first body accommodating the mobile terminal;
- a second body rotatably coupled to the first body;
- a connector protruded toward an inner side of the first body and inserted into the connection port;
- a second display provided on the second body;
- and
- a connection portion disposed between the first display and the second display and electrically coupling the second display with the first body and the second body, and
- wherein the method comprises:
- displaying a list of the plurality of applications on the first display;
- and
- displaying an execution screen of an application among the plurality of applications on the second display in response to a drag input received on the list.
The method of 10, wherein:
- the list includes a plurality of thumbnails corresponding to the plurality of applications;
- each of the plurality of thumbnails is a representative screen of a corresponding one of the plurality of executed applications;
- and
- the plurality of thumbnails are displayed sequentially in a vertical or horizontal direction on the first display.
The method of 11, wherein:
- the plurality of thumbnails include a first thumbnail corresponding to a first application;
- the drag input includes a first drag and a second drag corresponding to the first thumbnail,
- the method further comprises:
- displaying a first execution screen of the first application according to the first drag;
- and
- ending the first application according to the second drag;
- and
- a direction of the first drag is opposite to a direction of the second drag.
The method of 12, wherein the direction of the first drag is from the first display to the second display, and the direction of the second drag is from the second display to the first display.
The method of 10, further comprising:
- displaying the list on both the first display and the second display simultaneously, the list including a plurality of thumbnails corresponding to the plurality of applications, and the plurality of thumbnails including a second thumbnail corresponding to a second application among the plurality of applications;
- displaying a second execution screen of the second application on the first display in response to a third drag corresponding to the second thumbnail and received on the second display;
- and
- ending the second application in response to a fourth drag received on the second display,
- wherein a direction of the third drag is opposite to a direction of the fourth drag.
The method of 14, wherein the direction of the third drag is from the second display to the first display, and the direction of the fourth drag corresponds to a direction from the first display toward the second display.
An electronic device comprising a mobile terminal on which a plurality of applications are executed,
- wherein the mobile terminal comprises a display and a controller,
- wherein the plurality of applications include a first application and a second application, and
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- divide the display into a first region, a second region, and a third region;
- cause a first thumbnail corresponding to the first application and a second thumbnail corresponding to the second application to be displayed in the first region;
- detect a first drag corresponding to the first thumbnail and a second drag corresponding to the second thumbnail;
- and
- cause a first execution screen of the first application to be displayed on the second region according to the first drag;
- and
- cause a second execution screen of the second application to be displayed on the third region according to the second drag.
