Smart device for displaying seamless images, control method therefor, and recording medium for implementing method
First Claim
1. A smart device, comprising:
- a cylindrical flexible display panel which displays seamless continuous images on an outer surface thereof, and has a sleeve-shaped form with an inside that is empty;
a sensing unit located at an inner surface of the flexible display panel so as to recognize an entity located inside the flexible display panel;
a mode selection unit for automatically selecting an operation mode corresponding to the recognized entity; and
a control unit for controlling so as to operate in the operation mode selected by the mode selection unit;
whereinthe control unit senses an in-hand motion of the smart device in the selected operation mode, and controls the smart device to perform a function corresponding to the in-hand motion, andthe control unit locks a display on the flexible display panel in response to lifting up and putting down of the smart device,unlocks the display on the flexible display panel in response to shaking up and down of the smart device,switches the operation mode of the smart device in response to tilting up and down of the smart device, andnavigates content displayed on the flexible display panel in response to turning right and left of the smart device.
