Abstract
A display device and a data displaying method thereof are disclosed. The device includes at least one sensor including a touch sensor to generate touch events according to touch events, a flexible sensor to generate a bend signal to detect bend events, and a pressure sensor to generate a pressure signal to detect pressure events, a storage unit to store a function table, and a controller to control the components of the device. The function table is configured to define control operations to reproduce currently output contents based on the touch events, the bend events, the pressure events, and events combined thereof.
Claims9
A display comprising:
- a pressure sensor to detect a pressing;
- a bending sensor to detect a bending;
- a storage unit to store a menu, the menu specifying operations of the display to be executed by a combination of a strength of the pressing applied at a first area of the display and the bending applied at a second area of the display;
- a controller to perform, by referring to the menu, an operation corresponding to the combination of the strength of the pressing and the bending.
A method comprising:
- detecting a strength of a pressing;
- executing and displaying contents on a device, the contents being determined by the detected strength of the pressing;
- detecting bending corresponding to the bending of the device;
- loading, in response to the bending, a function table comprising commands to perform a function corresponding to a combination of the detected strength of the pressing and the detected bending, the pressing and the bending respectively being detected at different locations of the device;
- and
- performing the function corresponding to the combination of the detected strength of the pressing and the detected bending.
