PORTABLE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a portable device having a flexible display unit and a control method for the same. The device provides a dimming mode for dimming the display unit when lack of user input for a preset dimming time is sensed. The dimming mode includes a first dimming mode having a first dimming time and a second dimming mode having a second dimming time. The display unit has a first state before the display unit is expanded, and a second state after the display unit is expanded. A processor of the device converts the device from the first dimming mode to the second dimming mode when the display unit is retracted from the second state to the first state, reverts the device into the first dimming mode when preset user input is sensed, and performs dimming of the display unit when lack of the preset user input is sensed.

主权项

1. A portable device comprising:
a flexible display unit; a measurement unit configured to sense an open position and a closed position of the flexible display unit; a sensor unit configured to sense a user input; and a processor configured to control the flexible display unit, the measurement unit, and the sensor unit, wherein the portable device provides a dimming mode for dimming the flexible display unit when lack of the user input within a dimming time is sensed, wherein the processor is further configured to:
convert the portable device from a first dimming mode to a second dimming mode when a change of the flexible display unit from the open position to the closed position is detected, wherein the first dimming mode provides a first dimming time and the second dimming mode provides a second dimming time, and wherein the second dimming time is shorter than the first dimming time, if the user input is sensed within the second dimming time in the second dimming mode, revert the portable device from the second dimming mode to the first dimming mode, and if the user input is not sensed within the second dimming time in the second dimming mode, perform dimming of the flexible display unit when the second dimming time is reached.
