Portable device and control method for the same

摘要

Disclosed are a portable device and a control method thereof for convenient and accurate dimming control. The portable device includes a foldable display unit, a state sensor unit to detect folded and unfolded states of the foldable display unit, an input sensor unit to sense user input and a processor to control the respective units. The processor converts the portable device from a first dimming mode to a second dimming mode upon detection of change of the foldable display unit from the unfolded state to the folded state, perform dimming of the foldable display unit based on a dimming time different with the second dimming time when the user input is sensed in the second dimming mode within a second dimming time, and performs dimming of the foldable display unit after the second dimming time has passed when the user input is not sensed in the second dimming mode within the second dimming time.

1. A portable device comprising:
a foldable display unit including a first display region and a second display region; a state sensor unit configured to detect a folded state and an unfolded state of the foldable display unit; an input sensor unit configured to sense user input; and a processor configured to control the foldable display unit, the state sensor unit and the input sensor unit, wherein the portable device provides a dimming mode for dimming at least a part of the foldable display unit when the user input is not sensed for a dimming time, wherein the processor is further configured to: convert the portable device from a first dimming mode to a second dimming mode upon detection of change of the foldable display unit from the unfolded state to the folded state, wherein the first dimming mode provides a first dimming time, wherein the second dimming mode provides a second dimming time different with the first dimming time; perform dimming of the foldable display unit upon reaching the second dimming time when the user input is not sensed in the second dimming mode within the second dimming time; and perform dimming of the foldable display unit based on a dimming time different with the second dimming time when the user input is sensed in the second dimming mode within the second dimming time.
