Provided are systems and methods for contextually providing services via a portable computer at a selected location. According to some embodiments, the systems and methods include processes for determining location-specific information about the selected location, determining status information about a user of the portable computer interface, and displaying an available service to the user on a display screen of the portable computer, the available service being selected based on the location-specific information and the status information.
Electronic device
An electronic device including a flexible display panel is provided. The electronic device includes a display panel, a first component, a movable module, and a housing. The housing includes a first movable portion, a second component, and a third component. The third component includes a first space where the first component is stored. The display panel includes a flexible display portion. The display portion includes a first region, a second region, and a third region. The first region is fixed to the second component. The second region is fixed to the first component stored in the third component. The movable module has a function of holding a first angle that is formed between the second component and the third component by the first movable portion. The third region positioned between the first region and the second region has a function of forming a curved surface according to the first angle. The first component slides in the first space according to the first angle.
DIGITIZER AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME
An electronic apparatus includes: a display panel including a folding area foldable with respect to a folding axis, a panel protective layer disposed under the display panel, a digitizer disposed under the panel protective layer and including a base layer including a folding portion through which holes are defined, a first non-folding portion, and a second non-folding portion, and sensing coils disposed on the base layer, and an adhesive layer including a first portion attaching the panel protective layer to the first non-folding portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion with the folding portion interposed therebetween and attaching the panel protective layer to the second non-folding portion. The base layer includes a matrix portion including a filler and fiber lines arranged in the matrix portion and having a weave pattern.
Method for providing screen using foldable display and electronic device for supporting same
An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a housing including a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing; a first hinge configured to enable the first housing and the third housing to pivot, and a second portion configured to enable the second housing and the third housing to pivot; a first display viewable through a first area of the first housing, a second area of the second housing, and a third area of the third housing; at least one sensor; a processor operably connected to the first display and the at least one sensor; and a memory operably connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: display a first screen of an application in a first state in which the first area and the second area face the third area, detect, through the at least one sensor, a change from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the third area face a same direction or a third state in which the second area and the third area face a same direction, determine a second screen of the application to be displayed through the first display in a state, among the second state and the third state, changed from the first state, and display the second screen through the first display in the changed state.
FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
A foldable display device includes a hinge, a housing shell unit and a display unit. The housing shell unit includes two housing shells connected with left and right sides of the hinge, two support plates respectively disposed on the housing shells, and a plurality of pairs of display rails defined between the housing shells and the support plates. Each housing shell has a base shell wall connected with the hinge. Each display rail has a rail groove. The display unit is securely disposed to the hinge, and is movably engaged in the rail grooves. The hinge is rotatable between an unfolded position and an outfolding position. During rotation of the hinge, the display unit is moved along the rail grooves.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING WHETHER A COVER IS ATTACHED THERETO
An electronic device includes: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction; and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein an inner space is formed between the first surface and the second surface; a board disposed in the inner space; a geomagnetic sensor disposed on the board; and a processor. The geomagnetic sensor is configured to detect a first magnetic force, when a first cover part of the cover, including a first magnetic member, is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device, and detect a second magnetic force, when a second cover part of the cover, including a second magnetic member, is disposed to cover the second surface from the second direction of the electronic device in a state where the first cover part is disposed to cover the first surface from the first direction of the electronic device.
