Method and apparatus for controlling imaging area of flexible display device
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a flexible display device, the method comprising:
- controlling an imaging area within a display area of the flexible display device comprised of a display unit for receiving a manual touch, and a display area overlapping the display unit and displaying an image, by obtaining at least two input signals input to the display unit in response to a continuous manual touch in a form of a closed loop;
setting an internal area of the closed loop as the imaging area in accordance with the at least two input signals, the at least two input signals comprising a first input signal and a second input signal; and
controlling the image displayed on the display area to be moved and displayed onto the set imaging area, the imaging area comprising a first imaging area and a second imaging area spaced apart from each other on the display unit, and the setting of an internal area comprises setting the first imaging area on the a basis of the first input signal, and setting of the second imaging area on a basis of the second input signal, the display unit is flexible between the first imaging area and the second imaging area.

Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling an imaging area of a flexible display device. A method of controlling an imaging area in a display area of a flexible display device including a display unit for receiving a touch, and a display area overlapping the display unit and for displaying an image includes obtaining at least two input signals input to the display unit in response to a continuous touch in the form of a closed loop, setting an internal area of the closed loop as an imaging area based on the obtained at least two input signals, and controlling the image displayed on the display area to be moved and displayed onto the set imaging area. An area for displaying an image may be controlled appropriately for the shape of a flexible display device by using an input signal generated by a user'"'"'s touch.
