下文中，在裝置同時顯示A應用程式的畫面及B應用程式的畫面時或在A應用程式的畫面及B應用程式的畫面同時顯示在裝置上時，使用術語「共同顯示」。Hereinafter, the term "co-display" is used when the screen of the A application and the screen of the B application are simultaneously displayed on the device or when the screen of the A application and the screen of the B application are simultaneously displayed on the device.

圖1A說明根據例示性實施例的裝置100，亦即使用鉸鏈折疊的電子裝置100。FIG. 1A illustrates a device 100, ie, an electronic device 100 folded using a hinge, according to an exemplary embodiment.

裝置100可為如圖1A中所示使用鉸鏈折疊的可折疊電子裝置100。The device 100 may be a foldable electronic device 100 that is folded using a hinge as shown in FIG. 1A .

裝置100可以折疊狀態使用，可以打開狀態使用，如圖1A中所示。The device 100 can be used in a folded state and can be used in an open state, as shown in FIG. 1A .

裝置100可根據裝置100的狀態切換其畫面。在整個說明書中，電子裝置的狀態可界定為兩個狀態：折疊狀態及打開狀態。稍後將更詳細地描述折疊狀態及打開狀態。The device 100 can switch its screen according to the state of the device 100 . Throughout the specification, the state of the electronic device can be defined as two states: a folded state and an open state. The folded state and the opened state will be described in more detail later.

又，在整個說明書中，電子裝置100的狀態經由折疊動作而自打開狀態改變至折疊狀態。電子裝置100的狀態經由外展動作自折疊狀態改變至打開狀態。Also, throughout the specification, the state of the electronic device 100 is changed from the open state to the folded state via the folding action. The state of the electronic device 100 is changed from the folded state to the open state via the abduction motion.

根據一或多個例示性實施例，裝置100可包含智慧型手機、平板個人電腦（personal computer，PC）、筆記型電腦、可佩戴裝置、電子書，等等。According to one or more exemplary embodiments, the device 100 may include a smartphone, a tablet personal computer (PC), a notebook computer, a wearable device, an e-book, and the like.

在例示性實施例中，在第一應用程式的執行畫面110顯示於裝置100上時，若裝置100偵測到折疊動作或外展動作，則裝置100可共同顯示第一應用程式的執行畫面110及第二應用程式的執行畫面120。第二應用程式可根據各種例示性實施例而變化。In an exemplary embodiment, when the execution screen 110 of the first application is displayed on the device 100, if the device 100 detects a folding action or an outreach action, the device 100 may jointly display the execution screen 110 of the first application and the execution screen 120 of the second application. The second application may vary according to various exemplary embodiments.

在整個說明書中，「第一應用程式的執行畫面」、「第一應用程式畫面」或「第一應用程式的畫面」意謂由於執行第一應用程式而在顯示器上顯示的畫面。又，「第二應用程式的執行畫面」、「第二應用程式畫面」或「第二應用程式的畫面」意謂由於執行第二應用程式而在顯示器上顯示的畫面。參看圖1A，在裝置100處於折疊狀態中時面向彼此的兩個表面的面積相同。因此，裝置100可對稱地折疊，但此僅為實例，且在折疊狀態中面向彼此的兩個表面的面積可不同。因此，裝置100可不對稱地折疊。Throughout the specification, "the execution screen of the first application", "the screen of the first application" or "the screen of the first application" means the screen displayed on the display due to the execution of the first application. In addition, "the execution screen of the second application", "the screen of the second application", or "the screen of the second application" means a screen displayed on the display due to the execution of the second application. Referring to Figure 1A, the areas of the two surfaces facing each other when the device 100 is in the folded state are the same. Thus, the device 100 may be folded symmetrically, but this is only an example, and the areas of the two surfaces facing each other may be different in the folded state. Thus, the device 100 can be folded asymmetrically.

圖1B說明根據另一例示性實施例的藉由彎曲而折疊的裝置100。FIG. 1B illustrates a device 100 that is folded by bending, according to another exemplary embodiment.

如圖1B中所說明，裝置100可在隨機線處彎曲，且因為裝置100彎曲，存在隨機線的區域可彎曲預設度數。又，當由於裝置100彎曲而面向彼此的兩個表面變得並行時，裝置100可處於折疊狀態。As illustrated in Figure IB, the device 100 can be bent at random lines, and because the device 100 is bent, the regions where the random lines are present can be bent a predetermined number of degrees. Also, when the two surfaces facing each other become parallel due to the bending of the device 100, the device 100 may be in a folded state.

The user may request the device 100c to display the second application selection menu 3650 by selecting the first menu 3640. For example, the user may request the device 100c to display the second application selection menu 3650 by clicking or dragging the first menu 3640.

當使用者請求裝置100c顯示第二應用程式選擇功能表3650時，控制器230可在顯示器210上顯示第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式選擇功能表3650（S3620）。使用者可自第二應用程式選擇功能表3650選擇第二應用程式。可以觸摸輸入、按鍵輸入、筆輸入、語音輸入等形式接收使用者輸入。When the user requests the device 100c to display the second application selection menu 3650, the controller 230 may display the screen of the first application and the second application selection menu 3650 on the display 210 (S3620). The user can select the second application from the second application selection menu 3650 . User input can be received in the form of touch input, key input, pen input, voice input, and the like.

當使用者自第二應用程式選擇功能表3650選擇第二應用程式且將裝置100c改變至打開狀態（S3630）時，控制器230在顯示器210上顯示第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式的畫面（S3630）。如上文參看圖34所描述，若使用者並未選擇第二應用程式，則當偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，可根據預設標準判定並顯示顯示器210的畫面。When the user selects the second application from the second application selection menu 3650 and changes the device 100c to the open state ( S3630 ), the controller 230 displays the screen of the first application and the screen of the second application on the display 210 screen (S3630). As described above with reference to FIG. 34 , if the user does not select the second application, when a folding motion or a spreading motion is detected, the screen of the display 210 can be determined and displayed according to a preset standard.

參看圖36，裝置100c的狀態自折疊狀態改變至打開狀態。在一或多個例示性實施例中，即使預設在裝置100c的狀態自打開狀態改變至折疊狀態時共同提供第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式的畫面，仍可提供用於請求第二應用程式選擇功能表3650的第一功能表3640。亦即，在裝置100c的折疊狀態中，可提供第一應用程式的畫面及第一功能表3640，且當使用者請求第二應用程式選擇功能表3650時，處於折疊狀態的裝置100c可共同顯示第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式選擇功能表3650。又，若使用者選擇了第二應用程式，則當裝置100c的狀態自折疊狀態改變至打開狀態時，處於打開狀態的裝置100c可共同顯示第一應用程式的畫面及使用者選擇的第二應用程式的畫面。Referring to Figure 36, the state of the device 100c is changed from a folded state to an open state. In one or more exemplary embodiments, even if the screen of the first application and the screen of the second application are provided together by default when the state of the device 100c changes from the open state to the collapsed state, the screen for requesting the first application may still be provided. Second, the application selects the first menu 3640 of the menu 3650. That is, in the folded state of the device 100c, the screen of the first application and the first menu 3640 can be provided, and when the user requests the second application to select the menu 3650, the device 100c in the folded state can be displayed together The screen of the first application and the second application selection menu 3650 . In addition, if the user selects the second application, when the state of the device 100c is changed from the folded state to the open state, the device 100c in the open state can jointly display the screen of the first application and the second application selected by the user program screen.

僅當使用者需要時才可連同第一應用程式的畫面一起顯示第二應用程式選擇功能表3650。因此，有可能顯著減少畫面安置歸因於第二應用程式選擇功能表3650而複雜或第一應用程式的畫面被第二應用程式選擇功能表3650覆蓋的問題。The second application selection menu 3650 may be displayed along with the screen of the first application only when desired by the user. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce the problem of screen placement being complex due to the second application selection menu 3650 or the screen of the first application being covered by the second application selection menu 3650.

圖37說明根據另一例示性實施例的提供第二應用程式選擇功能表3730的實例。37 illustrates an example of providing a second application selection menu 3730 according to another illustrative embodiment.

參看圖37，處於打開狀態的裝置100c的控制器230在第一顯示器310上共同顯示第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式選擇功能表3730（S3710）。當經由第二應用程式選擇功能表3730接收到選擇第二應用程式的使用者輸入且裝置100c部分地折疊時，控制器230在第一顯示器310上顯示第一應用程式的畫面，且在第二顯示器320的暴露區域上顯示使用者選擇的第二應用程式的畫面（S3720）。37 , the controller 230 of the device 100c in the open state collectively displays the screen of the first application and the second application selection menu 3730 on the first display 310 (S3710).

已選擇第二應用程式的使用者可藉由執行簡單的示意動作（例如，部分地彎曲或折疊裝置100c的一部分）來檢視第二應用程式的畫面，且因此，使用者可方便地檢視第二應用程式的畫面。The user who has selected the second application can view the screen of the second application by performing a simple gesture (eg, partially bending or folding a part of the device 100c), and thus, the user can conveniently view the second application App screen.

圖38說明根據另一例示性實施例的提供第二應用程式選擇功能表的實例。38 illustrates an example of providing a second application selection menu according to another illustrative embodiment.

參看圖38，裝置100c共同顯示第一應用程式畫面及關於第二應用程式選擇功能表的資訊，且藉由使用形成於裝置100c的外殼上的使用者介面3310的元件來接收使用者選擇。舉例而言，裝置100c可藉由使用為使用者介面3310的元件的觸摸感測器3810a及3810b來接收使用者選擇。38, the device 100c collectively displays the first application screen and information about the second application selection menu, and receives user selections by using elements of the user interface 3310 formed on the casing of the device 100c. For example, device 100c may receive user selections through the use of touch sensors 3810a and 3810b that are elements of user interface 3310.

裝置100c可藉由使用安置於裝置100c的外殼上的使用者介面3310來進一步準確地接收使用者輸入，且由第二應用程式選擇功能表佔據的畫面的面積得以減小。The device 100c can further accurately receive user input by using the user interface 3310 disposed on the housing of the device 100c, and the area of the screen occupied by the second application selection menu is reduced.

圖44為根據另一例示性實施例的控制裝置100a的方法的流程圖。FIG. 44 is a flowchart of a method of controlling the apparatus 100a according to another exemplary embodiment.

參看圖44，當偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，裝置100a基於相關應用程式的預儲存清單而判定第二應用程式。Referring to FIG. 44, when a folding motion or an outreach motion is detected, the device 100a determines the second application based on the pre-stored list of related applications.

首先，裝置100a顯示第一應用程式的畫面（S4402）。當狀態偵測器220偵測到折疊動作或外展動作（S4404）時，控制器230基於相關應用程式的清單而判定第二應用程式（S4406）。相關應用程式的清單指示根據第一應用程式的類型而匹配的第二應用程式的類型。相關應用程式的清單可儲存在裝置100c中。舉例而言，相關應用程式的清單可儲存在裝置100c的儲存器中。First, the device 100a displays the screen of the first application (S4402). When the state detector 220 detects the folding motion or the spreading motion ( S4404 ), the controller 230 determines the second application based on the list of related applications ( S4406 ). The list of related applications indicates the type of the second application that matches the type of the first application. A list of related applications may be stored in the device 100c. For example, a list of related applications may be stored in the memory of the device 100c.

接下來，控制器230共同顯示所判定的第二應用程式的畫面及第一應用程式的畫面（S4408）。Next, the controller 230 collectively displays the screen of the determined second application and the screen of the first application ( S4408 ).

圖45說明根據例示性實施例的相關應用程式的清單的實例。45 illustrates an example of a list of related applications according to an exemplary embodiment.

相關應用程式的清單包含關於根據第一應用程式的類型而匹配的第二應用程式的類型的資訊。舉例而言，如圖45中所說明，若第一應用程式為書相關應用程式，則第二應用程式可為詞典相關應用程式。另外，若第一應用程式為相機相關應用程式，則第二應用程式可為相簿相關應用程式。The list of related applications contains information about the type of the second application that matches the type of the first application. For example, as illustrated in Figure 45, if the first application is a book-related application, the second application may be a dictionary-related application. In addition, if the first application is a camera-related application, the second application may be an album-related application.

儲存關於可能由使用者一起使用的相關應用程式的資訊，且第一應用程式與第二應用程式自動地匹配。因此，當偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，使用者可方便地使用相關應用程式。Information about related applications that may be used together by the user is stored, and the first application and the second application are automatically matched. Therefore, when the folding motion or the abduction motion is detected, the user can conveniently use the related application.

圖46說明根據例示性實施例的基於相關應用程式的清單同時顯示第一應用程式的畫面及第二應用程式的畫面的實例。46 illustrates an example of simultaneously displaying a screen of a first application and a screen of a second application based on a list of related applications, according to an exemplary embodiment.

在圖46中，社交網路服務（social networking service，SNS）應用程式用於處於折疊狀態的裝置100c中。當裝置100c改變至打開狀態時，控制器230基於相關應用程式的清單而將相簿應用程式判定為第二應用程式，且共同顯示SNS應用程式的畫面及相簿應用程式的畫面。使用者可容易地藉由自相簿應用程式拖放圖像而將圖像上傳至SNS應用程式。In FIG. 46, a social networking service (SNS) application is used in the device 100c in a collapsed state. When the device 100c is changed to the open state, the controller 230 determines the photobook application as the second application based on the list of related applications, and displays the screen of the SNS application and the screen of the photobook application together. Users can easily upload images to the SNS application by dragging and dropping images from the album application.

圖47為根據另一例示性實施例的控制裝置100c的方法的流程圖。FIG. 47 is a flowchart of a method of controlling the apparatus 100c according to another exemplary embodiment.

參看圖47，當裝置100c偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，裝置100c基於至第一應用程式的輸入而判定第二應用程式。因為至第一應用程式的輸入通常表示當前使用者興趣，因此有可能獲得關於使用者的當前興趣的資訊。 首先，裝置100c顯示第一應用程式的畫面（S4702）。當狀態偵測器220偵測到折疊動作或外展動作（S4704）時，控制器230分析至第一應用程式的輸入以便判定第二應用程式（S4706）。舉例而言，至第一應用程式的輸入可包含電話應用程式的呼叫者或接收者的語音、發訊者（messenger）的訊息，等等。接下來，控制器230基於至第一應用程式的輸入的分析結果而判定第二應用程式（S4708）。Referring to FIG. 47, when the device 100c detects a folding motion or a spreading motion, the device 100c determines the second application based on the input to the first application. Because the input to the first application usually represents current user interests, it is possible to obtain information about the user's current interests. First, the device 100c displays the screen of the first application (S4702). When the state detector 220 detects the folding motion or the spreading motion ( S4704 ), the controller 230 analyzes the input to the first application program to determine the second application program ( S4706 ). For example, the input to the first application may include the voice of the caller or recipient of the phone application, the message of the messenger, and the like. Next, the controller 230 determines the second application based on the analysis result of the input to the first application (S4708).

當判定第二應用程式時，控制器230共同顯示所判定的第二應用程式的畫面及第一應用程式的畫面（S4710）。When the second application is determined, the controller 230 collectively displays the determined screen of the second application and the screen of the first application ( S4710 ).

圖48說明根據例示性實施例的判定第二應用程式且顯示第二應用程式的畫面的實例。48 illustrates an example of a screen that determines a second application and displays the second application, according to an exemplary embodiment.

參看圖48，當第一應用程式為電話應用程式時，控制器230辨識呼叫者與接收者之間的電話會話內容，且根據電話會話的內容判定第二應用程式。舉例而言，若通話參與者中的一者說出「本週末在江南站附近轉轉如何？」，則控制器230辨識出特定地點名稱包含於電話會話中，且因此可將地圖應用程式判定為第二應用程式。48, when the first application is a phone application, the controller 230 recognizes the content of the phone conversation between the caller and the receiver, and determines the second application according to the content of the phone conversation. For example, if one of the call participants says "How about getting around Gangnam Station this weekend?", the controller 230 recognizes that a particular place name is included in the call session, and can therefore determine the map application for the second application.

之後，當裝置100c偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，控制器230將電話應用程式的畫面顯示為第一應用程式的畫面，且將地圖應用程式的畫面顯示為第二應用程式的畫面。當顯示地圖應用程式的畫面時，控制器230可顯示地圖畫面，其中標記自電話會話辨識出的「江南站」。Afterwards, when the device 100c detects the folding motion or the outreach motion, the controller 230 displays the screen of the phone application as the screen of the first application, and displays the screen of the map application as the screen of the second application. When the screen of the map application is displayed, the controller 230 may display a map screen in which "Gangnam Station" identified from the telephone conversation is marked.

裝置100c可辨識使用者的電話會話的內容，且因此可容易且方便地將使用者感興趣的資訊提供給使用者。The device 100c can recognize the content of the user's telephone conversation, and thus can easily and conveniently provide the user with information of interest to the user.

圖49說明根據另一例示性實施例的判定第二應用程式且顯示第二應用程式的畫面的實例。49 illustrates an example of a screen that determines a second application and displays the second application, according to another exemplary embodiment.

參看圖49，當第一應用程式為訊息應用程式（messenger application）或短文字訊息應用程式時，控制器230可分析自第一應用程式傳輸或由第一應用程式接收的訊息的內容，且因此可判定第二應用程式。舉例而言，若第一應用程式傳輸或接收包含「已發佈新版galaxy S5」的訊息，則控制器230可分析訊息的內容，且可將搜尋應用程式判定為第二應用程式以便在網站中搜尋訊息的內容。49, when the first application is a messenger application or a short text message application, the controller 230 can analyze the content of the message transmitted from or received by the first application, and therefore The second application can be determined. For example, if the first application transmits or receives a message including "new version of galaxy S5 has been released", the controller 230 can analyze the content of the message, and can determine the search application as the second application for searching in the website the content of the message.

之後，當裝置100c偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，控制器230可共同顯示作為第一應用程式的訊息應用程式或短文字訊息應用程式的畫面及作為第二應用程式的搜尋應用程式的畫面。控制器230可在搜尋應用程式的畫面上顯示與藉由將包含於訊息中的關鍵字輸入至搜尋視窗中而獲得的搜尋結果有關的畫面。Afterwards, when the device 100c detects the folding motion or the outreach motion, the controller 230 may jointly display the screen of the message application program or the short text message application program as the first application program and the screen of the search application program as the second application program screen. The controller 230 may display a screen related to search results obtained by inputting keywords contained in the message into the search window on the screen of the search application.

圖50為根據另一例示性實施例的控制裝置100a的方法的流程圖。FIG. 50 is a flowchart of a method of controlling the apparatus 100a according to another exemplary embodiment.

參看圖50，當發生通知事件且偵測到折疊動作或外展動作時，裝置100a將與通知事件有關的應用程式判定為第二應用程式。使用者可藉由執行簡單動作，例如藉由改變裝置100a的折疊狀態，來執行與通知事件有關的應用程式。Referring to FIG. 50, when a notification event occurs and a folding action or an outreach action is detected, the device 100a determines the application related to the notification event as the second application. The user can execute the application related to the notification event by performing simple actions, such as by changing the folded state of the device 100a.

首先，裝置100a顯示第一應用程式的畫面（S5002），且當狀態偵測器220偵測到折疊動作或外展動作（S5004）時，控制器230判定第二應用程式。First, the device 100a displays the screen of the first application (S5002), and when the state detector 220 detects the folding motion or the spreading motion (S5004), the controller 230 determines the second application.

控制器230判定是否發生通知事件（S5006）。通知事件可包含接收到短文字訊息、接收到來電呼叫、接收到電子郵件、接收到發訊者訊息、自SNS應用程式接收到通知或自各種應用程式接收到通知。The controller 230 determines whether a notification event occurs (S5006). Notification events may include received short text messages, received incoming calls, received emails, received sender messages, received notifications from SNS applications, or received notifications from various applications.

若發生通知事件（S5006），則控制器230將與通知事件有關的應用程式判定為第二應用程式（S5008）。舉例而言，若已接收到短文字訊息，則將第二應用程式判定為短文字訊息應用程式。若已接收到電子郵件，則將第二應用程式判定為郵件應用程式。若已接收到發信者訊息，則將第二應用程式判定為訊息應用程式。若已自SNS應用程式接收到通知，則將第二應用程式判定為SNS應用程式。If the notification event occurs ( S5006 ), the controller 230 determines the application related to the notification event as the second application ( S5008 ). For example, if a short text message has been received, the second application is determined to be a short text message application. If an email has been received, the second application is determined to be a mail application. If the sender's message has been received, the second application is determined as a message application.
