Various examples of the present invention relate to an electronic device employing a flexible display, and an operating method therefor. The electronic device operating method comprises the steps of: detecting a form change of the electronic device; determining an account to be used in the changed form of the electronic device; and displaying a user interface (UI) on the electronic device on the basis of a setting corresponding to the determined account. Other examples are also possible.

The present disclosure discloses a display device and a manufacturing method thereof. The display device includes a middle frame and an indiscrete flexible display panel bending around the middle frame. The flexible display panel includes a main display panel region on one side of the middle frame, an auxiliary display panel region on another side of the middle frame, and a bending region bending around the middle frame to connect the main display panel region with the auxiliary display panel region.

The present disclosure discloses a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a housing, a display screen, a functional module and a rotating member, the housing defines a recess and a first engaging structure; the display screen is positioned in the housing; the rotating member is rotatably coupled to the housing, wherein the functional module is mounted on the rotating member, the rotating member comprises a second engaging structure cooperated with the first engaging structure, one of the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure is a curved slot communicated with the recess, the other one of the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure is a slider slidably engaged in the curved slot thereby enabling the rotating member to rotate according to an axis of the curved slot, such that the functional module is positioned in the recess or exposed from the housing.

A portable electronic device includes a host, a sliding base, a base plate, a display and a sliding rotating element. The sliding base is disposed on the host and has at least one guiding portion and at least one sliding slot connected to the guiding portion. The base plate is disposed on the sliding base. The display is pivoted on the base plate. The sliding rotating element is fixed to the base plate and is rotatably and slidably connected to the sliding base, and the display and the base plate are configured to rotate or slide on the sliding base along with the sliding rotating element.

Electronic devices and accessory devices for electronic devices are described. In some instances, an accessory device includes a keyboard and a cover rotatable with respect to the keyboard. In some instances, an accessory device includes a back panel and a foldable cover rotatable with respect to the back panel. These accessory devices may include several magnetic elements designed to magnetically couple with, and retain, an electronic device without any additional mechanical or other interlocking devices. In this regard, the magnetic elements in the accessory devices provide an external magnetic field sufficiently strong enough to retain the electronic device, and can counter gravitational forces and/or the weight of the electronic device. However, some accessory devices include additional magnetic elements that provide an external magnetic field that repels magnetic elements in the electronic device. Also, the magnetic elements may also be used to hold different sections of the accessory device together.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.

A universal operating system and associated processes and procedures, which, together, are configurable to provide at least one operating system resource. The at least one operating system resource may be utilized by at least one cyber system for providing at least one individual with safe, secure, private cyber interactions with accurately identified instances of the individual's cyber devices, with other parties, and with the cyber devices of other parties. Processes and procedures are also provided which may be configured to provide an individual with the ability to selectively grant or selectively deny another party or a cyber device access to at least one part of the individual's cyber activities, cyber interactions, cyber assets, and cyber resources. A universal operating system is also provided which is configurable for providing interoperable use of cyber content, cyber devices, and cyber programming throughout at least one cyber system.

A display device includes a display panel including a folding area and non-folding areas respectively extending from the folding area along a first direction; and a folding member which is foldable together with the display panel, the folding member including: a film layer corresponding to each of the folding area and the non-folding areas of the display panel, the film layer defining a storage space in which a fluid is disposed; and a pair of roller members each in slidable contact with the film layer, each of the pair of roller members slidable along the first direction. Unfolding of the display device moves each of the pair of roller members along the first direction toward the folding area, and folding of the display device moves each of the pair of roller members along the first direction away from the folding area.

A method of controlling a display device outputting an image in either one of display modes including a horizontal mode and a vertical mode, the display device including a display configured to be rotatable, includes displaying at least one user interface (UI) element corresponding to at least one image content. The method further includes based on a user instruction of positioning a highlight on a first UI element among the displayed at least one UI element, identifying whether a resolution of a first image content corresponding to the first UI element corresponds to a current display mode, and based on the resolution of the first image content being identified to not correspond to the current display mode, providing a visual effect to the first UI element.

A flexible display device is provided. The flexible display device includes: a display; a sensor configured to detect at least one rolling characteristic in response to the display being rolled; and a controller configured to perform a first function of the flexible display device based on the detected at least one rolling characteristic.
