Claims21
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- an input unit;
- a sensor module;
- and
- a control module configured to:
- detect at least one of an open area or a transparent area in a display cover coupled to the electronic device,
- setting a partial display-area corresponding to the at least one of the open area or the transparent area on a display of the electronic device, wherein the partial display area is set according to a user's touch input received on the display,
- set content corresponding to the partial display-area,
- and
- control the display to display the content on the partial display-area,
- wherein a user trace comprising the user's touch input is received while the display cover is open, and wherein detecting further comprises comparing the similarity between the user trace with the open area of the transparent area of the display cover, and when a degree of similarity between the user trace and the open area or the transparent area of the display cover is greater than or equal to a preset value, correcting the user trace to correspond to the open area or the transparent area of the cover.
A method for content display, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one of an open area or a transparent area in a display cover coupled to an electronic device;
- setting a partial display-area corresponding to the at least one of the open area or the transparent area on a display of the electronic device, wherein the partial display area is set according to a user's touch input received on the display;
- setting content to the partial display-area;
- and
- displaying the content in the partial display-area;
- and
- wherein a user trace comprising the user's touch input is received while the display cover is open, and wherein detecting further comprises comparing the similarity between the user trace with the open area or the transparent area of the display cover, and when a degree of similarity between the user trace and the open area or the transparent area of the display cover is greater than or equal to a preset value, correcting the user trace to correspond to the open area or the transparent area of the display cover.
