Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic device and a method of controlling a screen display of the electronic device are provided. The method includes displaying, in one screen, a first display area in which a main task is executed and a second display area in which a sub-task is executed; detecting a rotation of the electronic device; determining a direction of a user's face relative to the electronic device; and determining a direction of the display area based on an angle between a direction of the electronic device and the determined direction of the user's face.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a display configured to, in one screen, display a first content through a first display area and a second content through a second display area; a sensor configured to detect a rotation of the electronic device; a camera configured to photograph a movement of a user's eye located in front of the electronic device; and a processor configured to determine a position of a user's sight line in one of the first display area and the second display area by analyzing a movement of the user's eye photographed by the camera, and when the rotation of the electronic device is detected by the sensor, fill the entire display with the display area that was determined in the user's sight line. 2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein, based on a determination that the position of the user's sight line corresponds to the second display area, the processor is further configured to fill the entire display with the second display area. 3. A method of controlling a screen display of an electronic device, the method comprising: displaying, in one screen, a first content through a first display area and a second content through a second display area; detecting a rotation of the electronic device; determining a position of a user's sight line in one of the first display area and the second display area based on a movement of a user's eye located in front of the electronic device when the rotation of the electronic device is detected; and displaying in the entire screen the display area that was determined in the user's sight line. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the user's sight line was determined to be in the second display area; wherein displaying in the entire screen the display of the second display area.
