Abstract

A method of an electronic device for controlling text information displayed on a second display unit to be outside an area occupied by a first display unit is provided. Supplying the second display unit installed above top surface of the first display unit and capable of moving on the top surface of the first display unit, the size of the second display unit is less than that of the first display unit, a coil is set below bottom surface of the second display unit, and a coil unit is set below the first display unit. Determining a relative position of the coil to the coil unit. Determining a covered area occupied by the second display unit on a first display unit; and controlling text information displayed on the first display area to be outside the covered area. An electronic device with double display screens is also provided.

Claims

1. An electronic device with double display screens, comprising:

a first display unit;

a second display unit installed above top surface of the first display unit, and capable of moving on the top surface of the first display unit, wherein size of the second display unit is less than that of the first display unit, a coil is set below bottom surface of the second display unit;

a coil unit set below the first display unit, coupled with the coil to generate energy transmitting; and

a processing unit electronically connected with the first display unit, the second display unit, and the coil unit,

wherein the processing unit determines a relative position of the coil to the coil unit, further determines a covered area occupied by the second display unit, and controls text information displayed on the first display area to be outside the covered area.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first display unit and the second display unit display distinct information.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2, wherein the first display unit displays text information, and the second display unit displays video information.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the covered area occupied by the second display unit is determined according to predetermined shapes and sizes of the first display unit and the second display unit, and the relative position of the coil to the coil unit.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device further comprises a frame and a back cover, the first display unit, the processing unit, the coil unit and the second display unit are assembled in space formed between the frame and the back cover.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the second display unit obtain data from the processing unit through transparent transmission lines.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device further comprises at least one infrared emitting device for transmitting data from the processing unit, and an infrared receiving device installed on the second display unit for receiving data from the infrared emitting device.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device further comprises a plurality of infrared emitting devices installed at different positions of the frame, each of the infrared emitting devices functions in a corresponding area, respectively.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein when the second display unit moves from one area to another area, the plurality of infrared emitting device automatically switches to function and transmits the data to infrared receiving device on the second display unit.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the coil unit includes a plurality of coils.

11. A method of an electronic device with double display screens for controlling text information displayed on a second display unit to be outside an area occupied by a first display unit, comprising:

supplying the first display unit, the second display unit and a coil unit, wherein the second display unit is installed above top surface of the first display unit, and capable of moving on the top surface of the first display unit, size of the second display unit is less than that of the first display unit, a coil is set below bottom surface of the second display unit, the coil unit is set below the first display unit;

determining if any energy transmitting is existed between a coil unit and the coil;

determining a relative position of the coil to the coil unit;

determining a covered area occupied by the second display unit on the first display unit; and

controlling text information displayed on the first display area to be outside the covered area.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the first display unit and the second display unit display distinct information.

13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the first display unit displays text information, and the second display unit displays video information.

14. The method according to claim 11, wherein the covered area occupied by the second display unit is determined according to predetermined shapes and sizes of the first display unit and the second display unit, and the relative position of the coil to the coil unit.
