Methods and systems for providing status indicators with an electronic device
An electronic device includes one or more sensors, one or more processors operable with the one or more sensors, and a status indicator configured to indicate whether an authorized user of the electronic device is busy, free, or somewhere in between. The status indicator can operate in at least a first state and a second state that is different from the first state. The first state indicates the authorized user is busy and should not be disturbed, while the second state indicates the authorized user is free. Red light can be emitted in the first state, and green light in the second state. The state of the status indicator can be set manually, such as with a chopping gesture, or automatically, such as from calendar events stored in a calendaring operation.
Multi-screen display device with internal wiring
The present disclosure relates to a multi-screen display device with internal wiring. The multi-screen display device comprises a clamping frame, a circuit board and at least two display units, wherein the clamping frame is configured to be fixed on a screen to be extended, the circuit board is provided inside the clamping frame and is configured to be connected to a host end of the screen to be extended, and the display units are rotatably connected to the clamping frame respectively; and the circuit board is connected to the display units through wire harnesses in the clamping frame, respectively, and the wire harnesses are configured to transmit data and electric power to the display units. When the device of the present disclosure is in use, external wire harnesses only need to be directly connected to the circuit board without being connected to the display units respectively, so that wire harnesses used externally are reduced, the messiness of the wire harnesses is reduced, the convenience of use is improved, and the user experience is improved as well. An internal wire harness plugged into the circuit board will penetrate through a through hole of a tie rod. When the clamping frame is extended, the wire harness will not be directly observed. The integrity of the entire product is improved, and the wire harness can also be effectively protected.
USER TERMINAL DEVICE AND DISPLAYING METHOD THEREOF
A user terminal device and a controlling method thereof are provided. The user terminal device includes a display configured to be divided into a first area and a second area which is larger than the first area with reference to a folding line, a cover disposed on a rear side of the display, a detector configured to detect a user interaction on the display and the cover, and a controller configured to, in response to the display being folded along the folding line such that the first area and the second area face each other, control the detector to detect a user interaction through an exposure area, which is an exposed part of the second area, and the cover, and, in response to the display being folded such that the two parts of the cover face with each other with reference to the folding line, control the detector to detect a user interaction through the first area and the second area.
Display device and operation method thereof
To provide a display device having an input means using a bending action. A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a display part, a first sensor element, and a second sensor element. The display part is provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first sensor element and the second sensor element are provided in their respective regions overlapping with the display part between the first substrate and the second substrate. The region where the second sensor element is provided overlaps with the region where the first sensor element is provided. The first substrate and the second substrate have flexibility. The first sensor element has a function of detecting the presence or absence of an object touching the first substrate or the second substrate. The second sensor element has a function of detecting the distortion of the first substrate or the second substrate.
