A terminal device includes a first screen assembly configured to display an image and including a first opening; an image collecting assembly under the first screen assembly, configured to collect an image based on external light when the opening is not shielded; a second screen assembly configured to display an image and shield the opening, and movably disposed between the first screen assembly and the image collecting assembly; a driving assembly configured to drive the second screen assembly to move between first and second positions; at the first position, the opening is shielded and the second screen assembly is in a display state displaying an image not displayed at the opening in the first screen assembly, forming a complete image with the image displayed by the first screen assembly; at the second position, the opening is not shielded, thereby the image collecting assembly can collect the image.

The present disclosure provides an auxiliary device that implements both free-stop hinge and click hinge and includes a seating member forming a seating area for a mobile terminal to implement a neat appearance and a hinge module rotatably connecting the cover member to the seating member, wherein the hinge module includes a holder, a rotation member including a first rotation member fixed to the seating member to form a first rotation axis between the holder and the seating member, and a second rotation member fixed to the cover member to form a second rotation axis between the holder and the cover member, the second rotation axis being parallel with the first rotation axis, and an elastic member configured to elastically press the rotation member to prevent a rotation due to a predetermined magnitude of force or less.

A gesture definition is provided for intuitively interacting with applications on a multi-screen device. The gesture is defined by one or more user motions signaling a user intent to perform an action on an object based on a context within the multi-screen environment. Unlike traditional gestures, the defined gesture is “context aware.” That is, the gesture may initiate different actions in different contexts. Actions responsive to the gesture include opening an application, sharing data between applications (e.g., cut/paste), and/or attaching files (e.g., to a mail message). App developers can define custom actions responsive to the gesture for particular applications. Avoiding cumbersome, multi-step user inputs and interactions, the actions defined for the gesture may be performed automatically. In this way, the well-defined gesture allows users to intuitively interact with applications between and among the various screens of a multi-screen device, including seamlessly opening applications, sharing data, and attaching files.

Active areas of image sensors are determined by one or more parameters defining a mergeline or memory addresses where image data is stored. Image data generated by active areas of different image sensors are combined to create a panoramic image. Image distortion is detected in image data generated by an active area of an image sensor. Distortion in image data is addressed by configured image processing instructions. A group of one or more processors is assigned to at least each image sensor. At least one set of instructions assures that image data generated by different image sensors creates a combined image of a video with a substantially seamless transition between areas. Curved image sensors limit distortion. Cameras are fixedly held in a calibrated body.

A dual-screen computing device includes two separate displays that are coupled to an interconnecting hinge. A hinge detector detects movement or position of the hinge, and the positions of the displays may be determined based on the hinge movement or position. The positions of the displays relative to each other may then be used to determine which mode of operation the dual-screen computing device is operating (e.g., tent mode, open, closed, etc.). Additionally, the dual-screen computing device may include various sensors that detect different environmental, orientation, location, and device-specific information. Applications are configured to operate differently based on the mode of operation and, optionally, the sensor data detected by the sensors.

An electronic device includes housing including first housing and second housing, hinge unit to rotate first housing and second housing, first display exposed to outside through first area of first housing and second area of second housing, second display exposed to outside through third area, facing away from first area, of first housing, first sensor to detect folding angle formed between first housing and second housing, memory to store plurality of first images corresponding to plurality of folding angles, respectively, and at least one processor, wherein at least one processor is configured to acquire information of the folding angle, through the first sensor, identify an image corresponding to the folding angle among the plurality of the first images, identify at least one display configured to display the image among the first display and the second display, based on the folding angle, and display the image on the at least one display.

An electronic device includes a first display on a major surface, a second display positioned on another major surface, and optionally at least one imager collocated with the second display. One or more processors identify a predefined event occurring and select whether to present content on the first display or the second display. The one or more processors can cause an imager to capture at least one image. When image matches a first predefined criterion, the one or more processors cause a presentation of content to occur on the first display. When the image matches a second predefined criterion, the one or more processors cause the presentation of the content to occur on the second display. The one or more processors can also compare sizes of the first touch sensitive display portion and the second touch sensitive display portion to select between the first display and the second display.

Disclosed is a method for determining relative positions of dual screens, suitable for a dual-screen foldable terminal in which two screens of the terminal are provided with at least two types of sensors, respectively. The method includes: collecting data of each sensor on the two screens, respectively; simulating data of a target virtual sensor according to the data collected on each screen; and determining an included angle between the two screens according to the data of the target virtual sensor corresponding to the two screens. Further disclosed are a display control method and a dual-screen foldable terminal. By means of the present disclosure, an included angle between the two screens can be accurately measured so as to control the display.

An electronic device that includes a mobile terminal and a case coupled to the mobile terminal, wherein the case includes a first body that is formed to accommodate a portion of the terminal body, a second body in which a second display is disposed, and a wiring unit that electrically couples the first body and the second body to transfer data received from the mobile terminal to the second display, wherein in a state where a first screen information including an input area is displayed on the first display and a second screen information is displayed on the second display, the controller is configured to capture the second screen information displayed on the second display in response to receiving a predetermined input to the input area and to cause the first display to display the captured second screen information in the input area of the first screen information.

An electronic device includes a first touch sensitive display positioned on a first major surface of the electronic device and a second touch sensitive display positioned on a second major surface of the electronic device, or alternatively a single display wrapping about the first major surface and the second major surface. One or more processors cause a presentation of content on the first touch sensitive display while the one or more sensors receive user input. In response to the user input, which can be received by the second touch sensitive display, the one or more processors cease the presentation of the content on the first touch sensitive display and commence another presentation of the content on the second touch sensitive display. The process is reversible to send the content back to the first touch sensitive display.
