The control operation can be defined in a variety of ways, according to the types and characteristics of the flexible device 100. For example, when the flexible device. 100 is a flexible monitor, including a display (not shown), controller 120 performs a control operation, which turns on flexible device 100, when the flexion corresponding to a switching action is detected. When the flexible device 100 is implemented as a remote control, which controls an external monitor, controller 120 generates control signals to turn on the external monitor and transmit the control signals to the external monitor, when the flexion corresponding to the switching action is detected , [00040] The 12G controller provides a bending interaction guide, to express or display bending, 0 'bending interaction guide', as used herein, indicates a visual guide image to be displayed, so that a user has recognize, in an intuitive way, formats of the flexible device 100 that can be flexed.

Related exemplary embodiments will be specifically explained in a later part of the specification; an exemplary embodiment, in which a flexible device and implemented as a flexible monitor, will be explained below in a specific way.
[00042] FIG, 2 is a block diagram of a flexible monitor, according to an exemplary embodiment »The flexible monitor indicates an apparatus that can be curved, flexed # folded or rolled up like paper; maintaining the display characteristics possessed by other monitors.
(00043) With reference to. FIG. 2, the flexible monitor 100 includes a sensor 110 # a controller 120, a graphics processor 130, a storage unit 140 and a display 150.

[0QÔ50] The display 150 displays the screen made up of the graphics processor 130. The display 150 can be mounted on a front surface of the flexible monitor, and can display the respective screens. The display 150 is made up of flexible materials and can be freely deformed.
[00051] FIG. 3 is a diagram provided to explain an example of the ISO display.
[00052] One reference to FIG. 3, the viacr ISO includes a substrate 151, a driver 152, a display panel 153 and a protective layer 154.
[00053] The substrate 151 can be implemented as a plastic substrate, such as a polymer film, which can be smoked by external pressure »The plastic substrate has a structure # in which both sides of the base film are processed with a barrier coating. The base film can be impellated as a resin, such as polyimide (PI), polyarbonate (PC), pelletylenotsreftalate (PET), polyethersulfone (FEÉ), polyethylene enphthalate (PEN), or fiber-reinforced plastic. (EB.P). Barrier coating is realized in. sides that face the base film, organic film or inorganic film can be used to maintain flexibility »[00054] Materials with flexible characteristics, such as thin glass or sheet metal, can be used for substrate 151 as well as for plastic substrate »(00055] The driver 152 performs a function to activate the display panel 153. In a specific way, the driver 152 applies an activation voltage to a plurality of pixels that constitute the display panel 153, and can be implemented such as TFT, low temperature polysilioic TFT (LTPS), and organic TFT (ÔTFT) <G trigger 152 can be implemented as various types, according to display panel implementation types 153. For example, the display panel 153 can consist of an organic emitting diode, which constitutes a plurality of pixel cells, and an electrode, which covers both sides of the organic emitting diode. Onador 152 can include a plurality of transistors corresponding to each of the pixel cells in the display panel 153. The controller 120 emits the pixel cells connected to the transistors, approving electrical signals, respectively, to transistor ports. Therefore, an image can be displayed. [00055] In addition, · display panel 153 asks to be implemented as El, electrophoretic screen (EFE), electrucromic screen (SCD), liquid crystal screen (LCD), AMLCD, and
Transparent transistor can be a transistor that is manufactured by replacing non-transparent silicon from related technique thin-film transistors with transparent materials, such as zinc oxide or titanic oxide. In addition, new materials, such as indium tin oxide (XTO Or graphenc, can be used for the transparent electrode. Graphene is the material that is structured in a flat shape, in a honeycomb shape, through the connection of carbenes, and has transparent characteristics. In addition, the diode organizes the emitter transparent can be implemented with different materials.
[0G060] In this sense, the display 150 can be implemented in several constitutions. The sensor 110 can be mounted on the edge or at the bottom of the display 150, and detects bending situations from the flexible monitor, which includes the display 150. A. Next, a method for detecting a bending situation on sensor 110 will be described in a manner specific.
[00051] Below, several exemplary embodiments of the method for detecting flexion in the flexible monitor are shown.
[Q0052] FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams that illustrate, an example of a method that detects deformation on a flexible monitor, that is, flexion.
í00003] The flexible monitor 100 can be deformed, in terms of shape, when flexed with external pressure. 'Bending' can include normal bending, bending, winding, and special bending. The normal ’’ flexion indicates the situation in which the flexible monitor is flexed. Specifically, flexing and flattening, and flexing and holding, can be included in normal flexion.
(00064.1 The "bend" indicates a situation in which the flexible monitor is bent. Here, normal bending and bending can be distinguished from each other according to degrees of bending. For example, when bending is done beyond a certain angle flexion, the situation can be defined as bending, when flexion is done within a certain flexion angle, the situation can be defined as normal flexion.
[00065] The winding is a situation, in which the flexible monitor is all rolled up. The winding can also be determined based on the bending angle. For example, winding can be defined as the situation whereby bending, in addition to a certain bending angle, is detected over a given area - However, bending can be defined as a situation where bending, within a given bending angle is detected in a relatively small area. [00066] Normal flexing, bending and winding, described above, can be determined based on the radius of curvature, as well as the angle of flexion.
[00067] Furthermore, whatever the radius of curvature, the winding can be defined as a situation, in which the cross-sectional view of the rolled-up flexible monitor 100 is substantially circular, or similar to an ellipse.
[00068] In addition, ‘.flexion flexion can indicate several other types of flexion, such as, for example, twisting, shaking and swinging. The special bending can be determined based on the bending angle, the number of bending areas, the graph of distribution of bending areas and the radius of curvature.
[00069] However, the definitions referred to above in relation to the different types of deformations are only one of the exemplary forms of resettlement; and deformations can be defined differently, according to the types, sizes, weights and characteristics of the flexible monitor. For example, when the flexible monitor can be flexed, so that two surfaces make contact with each other, a. bending can be defined as a situation, in which the surfaces of the device make contact with each other, simultaneously, while they are flexed. Conversely, the winding can be defined as a situation, in which- a front face and a rear face of the flexible monitor touch each other, due to bending.
[00070] For convenience of explanation, the above types of flexion and other flexion formats will be referred to, in a representative manner, as ’’ flexion * ’in general throughout the description.
[00071] The flexible monitor 100 can detect flexion with various methods.
[00072] For example, sensor 110 may include a flexion sensor, which is mounted on a surface, such as the front face or the rear face or on both sides. Controller 120 can detect bending using values detected on the bending sensor.
[00073j Here, the flexion sensor refers to a sensor that can be flexed around itself, and that has different resistance values, according to the degrees of flexion. The flex sensor can be implemented to be of various types, such as the fiber optic flex sensor, pressure sensor or strain gauge.
[00074] Sensor 110 can detect resistance values by using an amount of voltage applied to the flexion sensor or an amount of electrical current that passes through the flexion sensor, and can detect a flexion situation at the position of the corresponding bending sensor, according to the values of. resistance.
[00075] Although FIG. 4 illustrate that the flex sensor is incorporated in a front face of the display 150, bake and just an example. In this way, the flexion sensor can be incorporated into a rear face of the display 150 or both faces. In addition, the shape, number and arrangement position of the flex sensor can be changed in several ways. For example, a flex sensor, or a plurality of flex sensors, can be combined with the display 150. Here, a flex sensor can detect a flex data. However, a bending sensor can have a plurality of detection channels, which detect a plurality of bending fingers.
[00076] FIG. 4 illustrates that a plurality of bar-shaped bending sensors is arranged. horizontally and vertieally # building a structure in a retioulado way. [000771 With reference to FIG. 4 # and bending sensor includes 21-1 to 21 ~ 5 # bending sensors that are arranged in a first direction, and 22-1 to 22-5 # bending sensors that are arranged in a second orthogonal direction to the first direction. Each flexion sensor can be priced at a specified interval »[00078] Although FIG. 4 illustrate that 5 bending sensors 21-1 to 21-5 # 22-1 to 22-5 # respectively # arranged in a herirental direction # and a vertical direction, this is just an example. The number of flexion sensors can be changed according to the size of the flexible monitor. In this way, the reason for flexion sensors to be arranged horizontally and vertically is to detect the flexion made in all areas of the flexible monitor. When a device has flexibility in a part of the flexible monitor area, or needs to detect only the flexion performed in a certain part of the area, fiexion sensors can be selectively arranged in corresponding parts>
(0007 9] Each of the fiexion sensors 21-1 to 21-5, 22-1 to 22-5 can be implemented as an electrical resistive sensor, which uses electrical resistance, or a micro fiber optic sensor, which uses optical fiber strain rate For convenience of explanation, the following description will assume that the fiexion sensors are implemented as an electrical resistive sensor.
[00080] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, when- the flexible monitor 100 is flexed, so that the central area, positioned in the center, based on both contours, left and right, on the flexible monitor 100, can be directed downwards, the tension tired by the fiexion is supplied to the 21-1 to 21 ~ 5 fiexion sensors, which are horizontally arranged. In this sense, resistance values of the fiexion sensors 21-1 to 21-5, · which are arranged horizontally, can be different from each other. Sensor 110 can detect that the connection is done horizontally, based on the center of the. display surface, detecting changes in output values emitted from each of the sensors from 21-1 to 2'1-5. Although FXG. 5 illustrate a situation of fiexion, in which the central area is directed to a lower orthogonal direction, based on. display surface (-Z direction to be used in the description below], the fiexion can be detected based on changes in the output values of the horizontal fiexion sensors 21-1 to 21-5, when the fiexion is done in an orthogonal direction top, based on the display surface (direction H to be used in the description below).
[00081] Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 6, when the flexible monitor 100 is flexed, so that the central area, positioned in the center with the base in the upper and lower contours, is directed upwards, the tension is given to the flexion sensors 22 ~ 1 to 22-5, that are arranged vertically. Sensor 110 can detect vertical deformation with. based on the output values of the flexure sensors 22-1 to 22-5, which are arranged vertically. Although FIG. 6 illustrative bending in the direction the bending in the direction can be detected using the bending sensors 22-1 to .22-5, which are arranged vertically.
[00-082] When deformation is made in a diagonal direction, the stress is given to all horizontal and vertical flexion sensors. Therefore, deformation in a diagonal direction can be detected based on the output values of the horizontal and vertical flexion sensors.
[00083] Next, a specific method for detecting deformations, such as normal bending, bending and winding, using the bending sensors will be described.
[00084] FIGS. 7 to 9 are diagrams, which illustrate a method for detecting flexion in the flexible monitor using flexion sensors, according to an exemplary embodiment. [00085] FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the flexible monitor 100 when the flexible monitor is flexed. [0008-6] When flexible monitor 100 is flexed, the flexion sensors, which are arranged in one. side, or on both sides, of the flexible monitor, they are flexed together with the flexible monitor, and have resistance values corresponding to the intensity of a given voltage, and emit corresponding output values.
[00087] For example, when flexible monitor 100 is flexed, as illustrated in FIG, 7, one. flexion sensor 31-1, arranged on the rear fans of the flexible monitor 100, is also flexed, and emits resistance values, according to the intensity of a given tension caused by flexion.
[0008s] In this case, the intensity of the tension increases proportionally to the degree of flexion. For example, when bending is done in FIG. 7, the degree of flexion is maximum in the central area. Thus, the maximum stress is given to the flexion sensor 311, which is arranged in the central area (that is, point a3], and the flexion sensor 31-1 has the values maximum resistance. On the other hand, the degree of flexion decreases in an -external direction. Therefore, the flexion sensor 31-1 has lower resistance values towards points al and a2, or points a4 and a5, instead from point a3.
[00089] When the resistance values, emitted from the flexion sensor, have a maximum value at a specific point and decrease in the direction of both extreme directions, the sensor 110 can determine that the area, where the maximum resistance value is detected, it must be the area where the greatest bending is done. In addition, sensor 110 can determine the area, where the resistance values are not changed, as being a flat surface, where no bending is done, and determine the area , where the resistance values are changed beyond a predetermined value, as being a flexion area, where it is. certain bending is done.
[00090] FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating a method for defining the flexion area, according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIGS, 3 and 9, since these are provided to explain that the flexible monitor is flexed in a horizontal direction, based on the front face, the vertically arranged flexion sensors are not illustrated for convenience of explanation. Beyond. in addition, for another convenience of explanation, design reference numbers for the flexion sensors are provided, respectively, differently, according to the drawings; however, the flexion sensors illustrated in FIG. 4 are substantially used in their original state.
[000311 to the ’’ ’flexing area ** is where the flexible monitor is curved and flexed. Since the flexion sensors are flexed together, through flexion, the flexion area can be defined as an area of all points, where flexion sensors that emit different resistance values are arranged.
[00092] Sensor 110 can detect the size of the bending lines, the direction of the bending lines, the position of the bending lines, the number of the bending lines, the number of bending, the bending speed that changes, the shape , the size of the flexion area, the position of the flexion area, and the number of flexion areas, based on relationships between points with altered resistance values.
[00093] Specifically, when a distance between points with changed resistance values is within a predetermined value, each of the points, which emit resistance values, is detected as a flexion area. When there are points with altered resistance values, which are spaced apart beyond a predetermined distance, the area can be divided and defined as different flexion areas, based on those points. FIGS. 8 and 9 will be considered for further explanation.
[00034] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a method for detecting a bending area. Referring to FIG. 8, when the flexible ICO monitor has been flexed, point al to point aS of flexion sensor 31-1, point bl to point b5 of flexion sensor 31-2, point cl to the point cS of flexion sensor 31-3, point dl to point d5 of flexion sensor 31-4, and point el to point el of flexion sensor 31-5, have different resistance values, from the original state. [00095] In this case, points with altered resistance values in the flexion sensors 31-1 to 31-5 are positioned within a predetermined distance and arranged consecutively »[000.96] Therefore, sensor 110 detects area 32, including all from point al to point a.5 of flexion sensor 311, from point bl to point b5 of flexion sensor 31-2, from point cl to point c5 of flexion sensor 31-3, point dl to point d5 of flexion sensor 31-4, and from point el to point eS of flexion sensor 31-5, as a flexion area. [0009'1] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a method for detecting a plurality of flexion areas.
[00058] With reference to FIG. 9, according to the flexion of the flexible monitor, point al to point a5 of flexion sensor 31-1, point bl to point b5 of flexion sensor 31-2, point cl to point cS of the sensor of flexion 31-3, point dl to point -d5 of flexion sensor 31-4, and point el to point e5 of flexion sensor 31-5, have different strength values, from the original state * [000991 In flexion sensor 31-1, point al to point a2 to point a4 to point a are continuous, respectively, based on each point. However, point a2 through point a4 are not continuous, as there is a point a3 between point az and point a4. Therefore, when point «2 to point a4 is considered to be displaced by a predetermined distance, an area between point al and point a2, and an area between point a4 and point a5, can be determined to be different flexion areas. In addition, bridges from other bending sensors 31--1 to 31 -5 can be divided in the same way.
[000100] Therefore, flexible monitor 100 can define area 34, which includes all from point al to point a2 of flexion sensor 31-1, point bl to point b2 of flexion sensor 31-2, the point ol to point cz of flexion sensor 31-3, point dl to point d2 of flexion sensor 31-4, and point el to point e2 of flexion sensor 31-5, as a flexion area , and area 35, including all from point a4 to point aS of flexion sensor 31-1, point b4 to point b5 of flexion sensox '31-2, point c4 to point c5 of the sensor- of flexion 31-3, point d4 to point d5 of flexion sensor 314, and point e <to point eS of flexion sensor 31-5, as another flexion area.
[000101} The flexion area can include flexion lines. Flexion lines ”can be defined as lines that connect points with the maximum resistance values detected in each flexion area.
[000102] For example, with reference to FIG. 0, line 33 can be defined as a flexion line, which connects point a3 by emitting the maximum resistance value in flexion area 33, point b3 emitting the maximum resistance value in flexion sensor 31-2, point c3 emitting the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-3, the point d3 emitting the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-4, and the point e3 emitting the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-5 » F1G. 8 illustrates that a flexion line is formed vertically in the central area of the screen surface.
[000103] Furthermore # with reference to FIG. 3 # line 36 can be defined as a flexion line # that links the point ai # that gives the maximum resistance value in the flexion area 34 # the point bl that gives the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31- 2, the point cl that emits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-3, the point dl that emits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-4, and the point el that emits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-5. In addition # line 37 can be defined as a flexion line # connecting point a5 # which gives the maximum strength in the flexion area 35 # point b5 which gives the maximum strength in flexion sensor 31- 2 # the point c5 that emits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-3, the point d5 that omits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-4, and the point e5 that emits and maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 31-5. Thus # FIG. 9 illustrates that two vertical flexing lines can be formed close to the left and right contours on the display surface>
[0'00104] FIGS. 10 and 11 are diagrams that illustrate an example of a method for detecting a situation where the flexible monitor is folded.
[0-00105] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of an example # when the flexible monitor 100 is folded.
[OOvlOu] When the flexible monitor is folded # the flexion sensors # which are arranged on one side, or on both sides, of the flexible monitor # are folded together, and there is one. resistance value corresponding to the given voltage intensity.
(0001071 For example, when the right contour area of the flexible monitor 100 is folded, to direct a tension towards the center, in FIG, 10, a flexion sensor 41-1, disposed on the rear face of the flexible monitor 100, it is also doubled and emits resistance values, according to the intensity of a given voltage.
[000108] As in flexion, point a3, in which the intensity of tension supplied to the flexion sensor 41-1 is greater, has the maximum resistance value and a lower resistance value for both extreme directions. In. in other words, the flexure sensor 41-1 has a lower resistance value at points al and a2, or at points a4 and a5, than the resistance value at point a.3>
[000109] When the fold is made, so that the flexible monitor is flexed beyond a certain flexion angle, resistance values of the points corresponding to the flexion lines are detected, as being greater than - a certain resistance value. Therefore, controller 1.20 can determine normal bending or flexing, according to the resistance values.
[000110] In addition, when bending is possible, so that the surfaces of the flexible monitor 100 can come into contact with each other, the controller 120 can determine the fold, considering the possibility of the surfaces coming into contact with each other. With reference to FIG. 10, when the right contour area of the flexible monitor 100 is flexed to the 2+ direction and folded on the front face, displaced areas come into contact with each other on the front face of the flexible monitor 100. In this case, a touch can be detected in an area of the display surface, and changes in resistance values become larger, in. compared to normal flexion. Therefore, controller 120 can calculate the distance from the contour side, where the bending is done, to a bending line, and can determine that the bend is performed when the touch is detected over the point in the distance, which is calculated in the opposite direction, based on the flexion line.
[000111] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a method for determining the fold area, according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 11, because it is provided to explain that the flexible monitor is folded horizontally, based on the front face, the flexion sensors arranged in a vertical direction are not illustrated for convenience of explanation.
[Q00112] Because the fold area is formed, when the flexible monitor is folded, similarly in flexion, the fold area can be defined as more than one or two areas, including all points on the flex sensor, which emit different resistance values from the original stay, according to the flexion of the flexion sensors. The method for defining and dividing the bending area is the same as the bending area method, which will not be explained within an overlapping scope.
[000113] With reference to FIG. 11, area 42 can be defined as a bend area, which includes all points that have different values of output resistance, from their original state, that is, points, including point al to the sensor shaft aS flexion 41-1, point bl to point b5 of a flexion sensor 41 ~ 2, point cl to point c5 of flexion sensor 41 ~ 3, point dl to point d5 of a flexion sensor 41 ~ 4, and point el to point eu of a 41 -5 flexion sensor.
[0001.14] The fold area can be divided into two areas, with. base on a bend line. The bend line can indicate a line connecting points, which give the maximum strength values in each bend area. The bending line can be used in the same context as the bending line.
[000115] Reference to FIG. 11, line 43 can be the fold line connecting point a3, which gives the maximum resistance value no. flexion sensor 41 ~ Ί, point b.3. which emits the maximum resistance value in the 41-2 flexion sensor, the point c3 which emits the maximum resistance value in the 41-3 flexion sensor, point d3 which- emits the maximum resistance osier in the flexion sensor 41-2 -4, and the point e3 that emits the maximum resistance value in the flexion sensor 41-5.
[OOôllS] When the fold is detected # c · controller 120 can perform operations different from those performed in normal flexion. For example # operations # such as displaying different content screens # can be performed with. each fold area.
[000117] As described above, flexible monitor 100 can be rolled up like a sheet of paper. Controller 120 can determine that winding is performed # using results detected on sensor 110.
[000.118] FIGS. 12 to 14 are diagrams that illustrate a method for detecting winding in the flexible monitor.
[000119] FIG. 12 illustrates a cross-sectional view of an example, when the flexible monitor 100 is rolled up »[000120] As explained above # when the flexible monitor 100 is rolled up # the voltage is given to the flexion sensors that are arranged on one side # or on both sides # of the flexible monitor »[000121] In this case, the Intensity of the voltage given to the flexion sensors ρο-must be considered to be similar to one another. determined interval, and resistance values emitted from the flexion sensors can also be approximated to each other up to a certain interval.
[000122] In order to perform the winding ,. bending must be done beyond a certain curvature. In addition, when winding is performed, the flexion area is formed in a larger part, compared to normal bending or flexing. Therefore, controller 120 can determine the winding situation, by detecting that the bending is done, consecutively, in addition to a certain degree of bending in an area with more than a certain size.
[OOQ123] In addition, in the winding situation, the front face and the rear face of the flexible monitor come into contact with each other. For example, with reference to FIG. 12, when a contour of the display 150 is flexed in the + 2 direction and wound to the inner side of the display surface, the display surface, that is, the front face and the rear face, where a 5v ~ l flex sensor is willing, come into contact with each other.
[000124] Therefore, in another exemplary embodiment, the controller 120 can determine the winding situation, considering the possibility of the front face and the rear face of the flexible monitor coming into contact with each other. In that case, sensor 110 may include a touch sensor. Controller 120 can determine that the flexible monitor has been rolled up, when the resistance values emitted from the flexion sensor are approximate, and when the touch sensors, which are arranged on the front and rear faces of the flexible monitors, detect, respectively, contacts, Beyond. In addition, controller 120 can determine the possibility of ark parts on the flexible monitor coming into contact with or approaching each other, through the curvature of the flexible monitor, · with a magnetic sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, an optical sensor or an short distance instead of the touch sensor.
[ÔÔ0125J FIGS. 13 and 14 are diagrams illustrating a method for defining the winding area, according to an exemplary embodiment.
[000125] The winding area ”indicates all areas where the flexible monitor is flexed and rolled. The "area of enrola.me.nto" can be defined as more than one or two areas, including all points on the bending sensors, which emit different resistance values from the original state, similar to normal bending and bending. The method for defining and dividing the wrap area is the same as that used in defining the flexion area and the fold area, which will not be described within an overlapping scope.
[0501271 With reference to FIG. 13, when flexible monitor 100 is fully rolled up, the entire. area 51 of the flexible monitor can be defined as the roll area. Referring to FIG. 14, when flexible monitor 100 is rolled up in parts, and when points, which emit resistance values other than the original state, are at a predetermined distance, partial areas 52, 53 of the flexible monitor can be defined as different areas of entanglement among themselves.
[0OC-125] Therefore, flexible monitor 100 can be flexed in various formats, and controller 120 can detect the flex format based on the detected results of sensor 11 .0. In addition, the controller can detect the intensity of flexion performed, based on the detected results, that is, flexion angle.
[000129] FIGS, 15 and 16 are diagrams that illustrate a method for determining a degree of flexion »[0001301 Referring to Figa. 15 and 16, flexible monitor 100 determines a degree of flexion of the flexible monitor using changes in the resistance hisses emitted at intervals from the flexion sensors.
[000131] Specifically, controller 120 calculates a difference between a resistance value of a point that emits the maximum resistance value and a resistance value of a point that is at a certain distance, from the point that emits the maximum resistance value »[000132] Controller 120 asks to determine the degree of flexion using the calculated difference in resistance values. Specifically, the flexible monitor 100 can divide the degree of flexion into a plurality of levels, and correlate each level with. a resistance value having a certain range and store the correlated results.
[000133] Therefore, the flexible monitor can determine the degree of flexion of the flexible monitor at each level among the plurality of levels, in which the · calculated differences are divided according to the degree of flexion.
[000134j For example, with reference to Figs. 15 and 16, the degree of flexion can be detected based on differences in resistance values emitted from point a5, which emits the maximum resistance value in a flexion sensor 61, disposed on the rear face of the flexible monitor 100, and from point a4, which are spaced apart from each other.
[000135] Specifically, among the plurality of pre-stored levels in FIGS. 15 and 16, a level to which the calculated difference in resistance values belongs is determined, and the degree of flexion corresponding to the level of correlation can be determined. The degree of flexion can also be expressed as one. bending angle or a bending resistance.
[000135] Since the degree of flexion in the. exemplary embodiment of FIG. 16 is larger than in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1.5, the difference in the resistance values emitted from point a5 and point a4 of the flexion sensor in FIG. 16 becomes greater than in. resistance values emitted from point a5 and point e4 of the flexion sensor * in FIG. Therefore, controller 120 can determine that the degree of flexion of FIG. 16 is larger than that of FIG. 15, when the bending is done in FIG. 16.
[000137] The controller 120 can perform suitable operations, according to the degree of flexion. For example, when the channel change is performed and when the degree of flexion is greater, the speed for the channel change can be faster and the channel change interval can be. Conversely, when the degree of flexion is lower, the channel change can be performed more slowly and within fewer number of channels. Operations can also be performed, differently, according to the degree of flexion, ac control the volume or convert content.
[000.130] As described above, the flexing direction of the flexible monitor 100 can be different, such as in the Fi direction or in the Z Direction.
(000130] The bending direction can be detected by several methods, for example- the bending direction can be determined # according to the differences in changes in the resistance values of the bending sensors, respectively # by overlapping and arrangement of two bending sensors Referring to Figures 17 to 19, a method for detecting the bending direction # using the overlapping bending sensors # will be described below.
[000140] For convenience of explanation # normal flexion, will be explained with the exemplary embodiment in FIGO. 17 to 19. The same method can be applied in folding and winding # as well as .V. lexao.
[0001411 With reference to FIG. 1 # Two flexion sensors 71 # 72 can be overlapped and included on one side of the display 150. In this case # when flexing is done in one direction # resistance values at one point # where flexing is done, on the flexing sensor 71 and flexion sensor 72 # are detected differently. Therefore # when comparing resistance values at the same point of the two flexion sensors 71 # 72, the flexion direction can be detected.
[000142] Specifically, when flexible monitor 100 is flexed in direction 2 · * · in FIG. 18 # at the point ”A ^W corresponding to a flexion line # a greater stress intensity is given to the lower flexion sensor 72 # instead of the upper flexion sensor 71.
[0001431 Conversely # when the flexible monitor 100 is flexed towards the rear face in FIG. 19 # a higher stress intensity is given for the upper flexion sensor 71 # e® vsz of the lower flexion sensor 72.
[000144] Therefore, controller 120 can detect a bending direction # Comparing resistance values at the point ".V '# in the two bending sensors 71 # 72.
[000145] Although FIGS. 17 to 19 illustrate that the two flexion sensors are superimposed on each other and arranged on one side of the display 150, the flexion sensors can be arranged and on both sides of the display 150.
[000145] FIG. 20 illustrates that the two bending sensors 71, 72 are arranged on both sides of the display 150.
[000147] Therefore, when. the flexible monitor 100 is flexed in a first direction orthogonal to the screen (direction 0 + in the description below), the flexion sensor arranged. on a first side between the two sides of the display 150 it is determined by the compression force, while the flexion sensor disposed on a second mesh is given by tension. However, when the .100 flexible monitor is flexed in a second direction, contrary to the first direction (the 0 Direction in the description below), the flexion sensor, arranged on the second side, is given by a compression force, while the sensor of flexion arranged on the first side is given by tension. In this sense, · values of the two bending sensors are detected differently, according to the bending direction, and controller 120 can divide the bending direction, according to. detected characteristics of the values.
[000149] Although FIGS. 17 a. 20 describe that the bending direction is detected using these two bending sensors, the bending direction can be divided only with a strain gauge arranged on one side of the display. In other words, a view that is a strain gauge, arranged on one side, is given by the compression force or tension force, according to the direction of bending, the direction of bending can be detected, when characteristics of the output values detected.
[000149] FIG. 21 illustrates an example of constitution, which detects flexion by having a flexion sensor in. one side of the display 150. Referring to FIG. 21, the flexion sensor '71 is implemented to be a closed curve, such as a circle, rectangle or other polygons, and arranged in the contour area of the display 150. Controller 120 can determine points, where changes in the output values are detected, · In the closed curve, like the flexion area. In addition, the flexion sensors can be combined with the screen 110 in an open curve format, such as S-shape, 2-shape, or another zigzag shape.
[000150] FIG. 22 illustrates an exemplary embodiment, in which the two flexion sensors are crossed and disposed of each other. Referring to FIG. 22, the first flexion sensor 71 is disposed on the first side of the display 150 and the second flexion sensor 72 is disposed on the second side of the display 150. The first flexion sensor 71 is disposed on a first diagonal direction on the first side of the display 150 and the second flexion sensor 72 is arranged in a second diagonal direction on the second side, according to various flexion conditions, such as when each edge area is flexed, when each contour area is flexed, when a center is flexed, and when the fold or winding is performed, exit values and exit points on the first and second flexion sensors 71, 72 become different. In this way, controller 120 can determine what type of bending is done, according to the characteristics of the output values.
[000151] Although the various exemplary embodiments above describe that line-shaped bending sensors are used, bending can be detected using a plurality of strain gauges, in a fragmented manner.
(0001521 FIGS. 23 to 24 illustrate an exemplary embodiment, which detects fiexion using a plurality of strain gauges. Strain gauges detect deformations of the surface in relation to the measured objects, according to changes in resistance values, using metal or semiconductor, which greatly change the resistance through the given energy intensity. Normally, materials, such as metal, have a property that the strength values increase, when the length increases, according to an external energy, and decrease when the length decreases, so when changes in resistance values are detected, it is determined when the fiexion is made.
(000153] Referring to FIG. 23, a plurality of strain gauges are arranged in the contour area of the display 150. The number of strain gauges may be different, according to the predefined size, shape or detection resolution of the strain. , relative to the display 150.
[000154] Although the strain gauges are arranged in FIG. 23, a user can flex voluntary points in a voluntary direction. Specifically, when an edge area is flexed, as in FIG. 24, a strain gauge 8Ô ~ x, superimposed on a fiexion line between strain meters 80-1 - 80-n, which are arranged horizontally, is given by energy. So one. output value corresponding to the meter. 80-x strain is greater than output values. other strain indicators. In addition, an 80 ~ y strain gauge, superimposed on a fiexion line, is given by the energy between 80-n, 30-u + i, ..., 80-m strain meters, which are arranged vertically, and an output value of the strain gauge 80-y is changed. The controller 120 can determine a line connecting the two strain gauges BO-x, 8C — y, whose output values are changed as the bending line, [000155] Furthermore, differently from the descriptions of Figs, 18 at 24, flexible monitor 100 can detect direction of flexion using various sensors, such as a, <n- '»' '< vm cv' xe - - i sensor [080156] FIGS. 25 and 26 are diagrams that illustrate a method for detecting a bending direction using the acceleration sensor, according to an exemplary embodiment of the sensors. Referring to Figs. 25 to 26, c <flexible monitor 100 includes one. plurality of acceleration sensors 81-1, 81-2.
[000157] The acceleration sensors 81-1, 81-2 are sensors that measure acceleration and acceleration direction when a movement occurs. Specifically, the acceleration sensors 811, 81-2 emit detection values corresponding to the acceleration of gravity, which changes according to the gradient of a device, where the sensors are mounted. Therefore, when acceleration sensors 81-1, 8.1-2 are arranged, respectively, in both contour areas of the flexible monitor, output values detected in acceleration sensors 81-1, 81-2, respectfully, are altered when c <flexible monitor is fioxàcnadc. Controller 120 calculates longitudinal tilt angle and lateral tilt angle, using output values detected on acceleration sensors 81-1, 81-2. In this way, the bending direction can be determined based on changes in the longitudinal inclination angle and lateral inclination angle detected by the acceleration sensors 81-1, 81-2 ,.
[000.153] Although FIG. 25 illustrate that the acceleration sensors 81-1 # 81-2 are arranged in both contours # horizontally # corn, base on the front face of the flexible monitor 100 # they can be arranged vertically in FIG. 26. In this case # when the flexible monitor 100 is flexed in a vertical direction # the flexing direction can be detected # according to the measured values detected in acceleration sensors 81-3 # 81.-4 # arranged vartically.
[000159] Although FIGS. 25 and 26 show that the acceleration sensors are arranged in left and right contours or upper and lower contours of the flexible monitor 100 # the acceleration sensors can be arranged in all of the left # · right # upper and lower contours. # Or in 'edge areas.
[00G1601 As described above # the kioscope sensor or the geomagnetic sensor can be used for detecting flexion direction # different from the acceleration sensor. The gyroscope sensor is a sensor that detects angular velocity, by measuring the Coriolis force given to the direction of velocity # when rotation movement occurs. Bending direction can be detected # since the direction it rotates can be detected according to the gyro sensor's measured values. The geomagnetic sensor is a sensor that detects azimate using a two-axis flegegate or a three-axis fluxgate. When implemented as with the geomagnetic sensors # the geomagnetic sensors, which are arranged in contours of the fierive monitor.1 ICO # are moved, respectively # from their position, when the contours are flexed, and emit electrical signals corresponding to their geomagnetic changes. Controller 120 can calculate the rotation angle using output values from gecmagnetic sensors. Therefore, according to the changes in the calculated rotation angles, various flexural characteristics, such as flexion area and flexion direction, can be determined.
[000161} To summarize, flexible monitor 100 can detect flexion using various types of sensors. The above constitutions of sensors and detection methods can. be applied to flexible monitor 100, separately or in combination, [000162} Sensor 110 can detect user manipulations to touch the display screen 150, as well as bending.
[000163] For example, sensor 110 may include transparent conductive film, such as ITO, which is evaporated on substrate 151 within the ISO display, and film formed on top of the transparent conductive film. Therefore, when a user touches the screen, electrical signals are transmitted to the controller 120, by contacting the upper and lower substrates at the point touched. Controller 120 recognizes the point touched using electrode coordinates, where electrical signals are transmitted. Touch detection methods are disclosed in several previous literature, which will not be described again in this specification.
[000164} When controller 120 detects touch or flex, several control operations can be performed according to touch or flex. thus, flexible monitor 100 can detect various types of bending. When each flexion is fully utilized, a user has difficulty remembering all types of flexion. Therefore, controller 120 controls graphics processor 130 and display 150 to overlay and display the interaction guide for flexing with objects, so that a user can intuitively recognize each i / «3 format

27, drawing reference numbers 2710 and 2711 are added with respect to the object in the upper left position and the interaction guide for flexion; however, this is only provided for the convenience of illustration. All other objects can be displayed, when added to the interaction guide for bending.
[0G0169] The 2710 objects include. application icons for implementing respective applications, folder icons for opening folders created previously, and function icons for implementing respective functions provided by flexible monitor 100. Certain bending formats are defined in relation to these icons respectively. The flexion interaction guide is color related to each object, according to the defined flexion characteristics.
[000170] The interaction guide for flexion can be expressed as a line image guide, which is displayed differently, according to. the positions and formats of bending lines, or that line images are displayed by adding at least one character guide and believe in symbols. For example, in relation to flexion, which flexes and spreads to the upper left edge, a flexion line is formed diagonally across the upper left edge. Therefore, as far as an object is concerned, in which a corresponding flexion is defined, the line image guide, expressed in diagonal format, is added to the. part of the upper left edge. When a user manipulates the flexion, which flexes and propagates to the upper left edge according to the guide, a corresponding object is selected and a corresponding operation for the object is performed ·.
[000171] In the menu display area, on the main screen
2'700, respective menus 2720, 2730, 2740, 2750, which are frequently used, are displayed. The flexion interaction guides 2721, 2731, 2741, 2751 are added and displayed with one of the menus 2720, '2730, 2740, 2750.
[000172 j The interaction guide for .flexion can be displayed in different webs from the main screen.1 of FIG. 27. In this way, the flexible monitor 100 can display an implementation screen, through the implementation of the respective pre-masked applications, and mark the interaction guide for flexion on. implementation screen.
[000173] FIG. 28 illustrates an example of a screen composition, which is displayed when implementing the message sending function, according to an exemplary embodiment.
[000174] With reference to FIG. 28, the 2880 message sending screen includes respective entry areas 2810, 2820, 2830 for entering characters or symbols and area for selection button 2840 for entering characters or symbols displayed in the entry areas.
[000175] The entry areas 2810, 2820 and 2830 can set areas to display a recipient, a title and a letter [000170] The selection button area 2840 displays respective selection buttons 2841 for inserting eu characters. symbols. The 2842 flexion interaction guide is added and displayed on each 2841 selection button.
[000177] The controller 120 displays characters or symbols corresponding to the selection button in the input area, when the flexion, corresponding to the interaction guide for flexion 2842, displayed on each selection button 2841, is detected. For example, when flexion is entered according to the flexion interaction guide displayed in the button 2840 selection area, after selecting the first area, input 2810 to insert a receiver, the .. '''«ivt'' x ^ »» - ^see the .flexion in the first entry area 2810. In.
then, when the flexion is inserted again, after selecting the second or third input area 2820, 2830, controller 120 displays characters or symbols corresponding to the flexion in the second or third input area 2820, 2830>
[000178] Although FIGS. 27 and 28 illustrate examples, in which the flexion interaction guide is added to each object, the flexion interaction guide can be displayed in a position, in which a flexion line will be formed on a screen. For example, during the display of electronic book content on the screen, through the implementation of the electronic book application, the interaction guide for flexion in relation, through the menus, to one among one. The flexion defined in relation to a corresponding application, can be added and displayed on the screen. In other words, when gu.e is defined, the operation to move from the first page to the next page is performed by flexing the right contour, · the interaction guide for flexion in line format can be displayed on the right contour. In addition, when it is defined that the operation to implement the indicator function to remember a corresponding page is performed by flexing the right edge, the interaction guide for flexing in a 'b' format .X x 'XA ^ O „XxX <. » X. 'X <1'>
(0Q017S1 Besides said, when the keyboard application is used, the interaction guide for flexion can be displayed in key positions displayed on the screen. In addition, when a web page is displayed by implementing the program for web browsing, or when the implementation screen is displayed through the implementation of another application, the interaction guide for flexion, corresponding to the defined flexion in relation to the program, can be displayed, in addition, in each position, in which scribbles or input objects extras are defined, the flexion interaction guide can be displayed and used.
[ÔQO18O] The interaction guide for flexion can only be defined by each object or exclusively by the marking position on the screen. Q Operating System and software platform of the flexible device 100 can exclusively map the interaction guide for flexion with the object or automatically with the position on the screen. In relation to the · mapping with the position, when the object moves, the flexion and the interaction guide for flexion corresponding to the displaced position can be mapped with the corresponding object.
[OOOISI] In addition, flexion and the interaction guide for flexion can be mapped according to an application request. In other words, when an application manufacturer considers flexion to be optimized for the use of a corresponding application, information regarding flexion and information about the flexion interaction guide, which expresses a flexion format or method, may be included. in the application activation information. The Operating System or software platform of the flexible device 100 defines the flexion and the interaction guide for flexion with respect to the corresponding application icon, using flexion information and interaction guide for flexion, which are stored in the activation information of the application. . At least one of the referred flexion information and interaction guide information for flexion requests to be defined in the standard format. In other words, one. standard can be established in relation to which area, within the application information, the flexion and the interaction guide for flexion can be installed, or with how many bytes of code, such information can be expressed. Therefore, an application manufacturer can exclusively manufacture the flexion and the interaction guide for flexion, based on the characteristics that the manufacturer wants to implement in the flexible device, [000182] Thus, new flexion formats and new interaction guide for bending can be provided as well. as basic flexion and the associated gala on the flexible apparatus 100.
[000183] In addition, a user can map another flexion in relation to a specific object. For example, c · press a button for definition, · what is displayed may include Ul screen, where the user can select a type of flexion that asks to be detected and objects can be mapped with. flexion on the flexible device 100- A user can map flexion with an object through the UI screen.
[000184] When mapping flexion with an object, the order of priority may be necessary »When flexible apparatus 100 is designed to define flexion by position, and when flexion is requested by one. user or an application is different from the flexion to the position where the corresponding object is displayed, the previous flexion can be mapped with. a corresponding object, when comparing the priority route between two flexes. The order of priority can be defined, so that a flexion requested by a user has a first order of priority, a flexion requested by one. application has a subsequent order of priority, and a defined flexion with respect to the position has a last order of priority. This order of priority can be defined in several ways.
[020135] FIG. 29 illustrates an exemplary embodiment to display the interaction guide for flexion defined, exclusively, in relation to the marking position on the screen. [000186] With reference to FIG. 29 # the flexible monitor 100 displays main screens 2910, 2922 which are divided into a plurality of pages. The user can convert the main screens 2910, 2920 with methods of quickly moving the splint in one direction, by touching the screen or flexing the flexible monitor 100.
[0001071 Fm each page of the main screens, respective icons # that a user organizes, can be displayed. With reference to FIG »29, icons 1 to 8 (2911} are displayed on the first page of screen 2910 and icons 9 to 12 are displayed on the second page of screen 2920.
[000180] When the conversion page is performed # the controller 120 defines # uniformly, the flexion in relation to each marking position # where each object is displayed to new objects, according to. the marking position # where each new object is displayed after conversion. In other words # the first flexion corresponding to Icon 1 on the first page of screen 2910 and uniformly defined # for icon 9 on the second page of screen 2920. When the first flexion is detected during the display of the first screen on screen 2912 , controller 122 performs operations corresponding to icon 1. However, when the first flex is detected during the display of the second page of the screen. 2922, controller 120 performs the operation which corresponds to icon 9. The flexion corresponding to icons 2 to 4 is uniformly defined for icons 10 to 12. FIG. 29 illustrates four icons on the second page of web 2920; however, when eight icons are still displayed, the inflection corresponding to icons 5 to 8 can be used for icons on the second page of the 2920 screen.
(000'180] When the flexion is newly defined, with respect to the new objects displayed on the screen after the conversion, the controller 120 can add and display the guide, from interaction to flexion 2912, in relation to the newly defined flexion, for the new objects Referring to Figure 29, the flexion interaction guide added to icons 1 to 4 is evenly added to icons 9 to 12. As a result, the flexion interaction guide 2912 can be displayed in the same pattern as the previous page, according to the marking position of the objects on the screen, when the screen conversion is performed.
[000190} FIG. 30 illustrates the screen of the flexible monitor 100, according to an exemplary embodiment, in which the interaction guide for flexion is defined, exclusively, with respect to each object. For convenience of explanation, the constitution of the screen, the number of objects displayed on the screen, and the object's marking position are illustrated as the methods in FIG. 29.
[000191] With reference to FIG. 30, when the second page of screen 2920 is displayed during the display of the first page of screen 2910, a new flexion interaction guide, different from the flexion interaction guide shown on the first page of screen 2910, is displayed on. second page of screen 2920. The flexion interaction guide can visually express the defined flexion, uniquely, with respect to each object.
[000192] Although not illustrated in FIG. 30, when converting to a third page of the screen, the original flexion can be defined in relation to the newly displayed icons on the third page of the screen, and c · interaction guide for corresponding flexion can be displayed.
[0001.93} Although FIGS. 27 to 30 illustrate various interaction guides for flexion expressed in o and Mnha format, the character guide or the symbol guide can be added to the interaction guide for flexo, and the guide can be expressed in several formats, as described above, to the the following will be explained, in a specific way, types of interaction guide parti flexion and corresponding flexion>
[G00190] In addition, although the drawings atima illustrate that the guide gives paraflexion interaction and is added for each object on the screen, the possibility of displaying the interaction guide for flexion can be selectively determined. For example, a user can define whether to use the interaction guide for flexing through a defined menu. When the function for displaying the flexion interaction guide is GN (on), several flexion interaction guides are provided, as described above. However, when the function for displaying the flexion interaction guide is OFF, objects, except the flexion interaction guide, are displayed.
[000195] In addition, the possibility of using the interaction guide for flexion can be defined with respect to each object. For example, with reference to FIG »30, it can be defined in such a way that the bending interaction guides are displayed for objects 1 and 2, and the bending interaction guides are not displayed for objects 3 to 12. In this case, according to the definition situation, the interaction guide for flexion is displayed or hidden by object.
(000196} In addition, the possibility of using the interaction guide for flexing can be defined with respect to each page, for example, with reference to FIG. 30, it can be defined, in such a way that the interaction guides for fiexã -o be displayed on the first page 2910 and hidden on the second page 2920. Therefore, objects 9 to 12 can be displayed, without adding the interaction glue for flexion on the second page 2920.
[000197] Besides said, the possibility of using and interaction guide for flexion is defined with respect to each .application. It can be defined in such a way that the bending guides of the interaction are displayed on the main screen described in FIG. 27 and hidden in the application screen of FIG, 29, In this case, even when the email application is implemented as in FIG, 20, and when the FIG, 29 screen is displayed, the interaction guides for flexion are not displayed.
Í0G0198] In addition, the possibility of displaying the interaction guide for flexion can be selectively determined, according to various standards.
[000199] The range of interaction for flexion may include the line image guide, which is at least one of a line width, a line number, a line format, a line direction, a line position , a line angle, line color, line size and line length.
[900200] FIG, 31. illustrates, interaction images for flexion (a) to (1) corresponding to the flexion that bends the flexible monitor to one. first direction. The first direction indicates a direction, in which a user flexes the display, based on the surface of the flexible monitor. [000201] When the flexible monitor has a square shape, flexion may include flexing and flattening, which flexes and propagates to the upper left contour, upper contour

Flexing and holding can be expressed as a
flexion, and interaction guide for flexion (1), which indicates flexing and holding, maintaining the right contour after flexing »Although FIG. 31 illustrative Interaction guides for flexion (k), (1) in relation to flexing and holding the upper left edge and the right contour, interaction guides for flexion (k) _t (1} corresponding »s and other movements can be displayed , when flexing and holding is defined with respect to other areas, so other flexion interaction guides <a) a (j; of FIG »31 can be expressed in a thick full line.
[00'0204} Although FIG. 31 describe the interaction guide for flexion, when flexion is done for the first direction, the interaction guide for flexion can be displayed, when flexion is done for a second direction.
20000205] FIG. 32 illustrates interaction guides for flexion, when flexion is done for the second direction. With reference to FIG. 3.2, the interaction guides for flexion are expressed in a dotted line, when flexion is made for the second direction. -The flexion interaction guides (a) to (1) of FIG. 32 are expressed, when the flexion of FIG. 31 is performed contrary to the first direction, that is, in a direction towards the rear side.
[000205] Referring to Figa. 31 and 32, the interaction guides for flexion can be expressed-, through the characteristics of the definition lines, they are either a solid line or a dotted line, according to these flexion instructions. In addition, the interaction guides for flexion can be expressed as a thin full line or a thick full line, according to the possibility of flexing and flattening or flexing and holding. In addition to a dotted line, several line characteristics, such as a single point chain line and two point chain line can also be used.
[000207] Although the line characteristics are different, according to the possibility of being the first direction or the second direction in FIGS. 31 and 32, the direction of bending can be expressed using the character guide or the symbol guide ♦ [00020S] FIG. 33 illustrates the flexion interaction guide (a), whose character guide is added to express flexion for a first direction, the flexion interaction guide (b], a character guide D is added to express flexion for a second direction , direction, the flexion interaction guide <c}, whose + symbol guide is added to express flexion for the first direction, and the flexion interaction guide (d), whose symbol guide is added to express flexion for the first direction the second direction.
[000209] In summary, the bending position, the bending format and the bending direction can be intuitively entered using line position, line characteristics, line depth, character guide and symbol guide.
[0OG210] When a plurality of bending operations is performed in a uniform format in a uniform area, a plurality of bending operations can be defined to operate differently from that other bending. 'In that case, the flexion interaction guide may be needed to express a flexion number.
[000211] FIG, 34 illustrates several examples of the interaction guides for flexion, which express a flexion number. With reference to FIG <34, the flexion number can be expressed with one. number of points' (a, b) added to the line, numbers (c, d), and the number of lines (e, f; ·. For example, the flexion interaction guide (a), which has dole points # the flexion interaction guide (hi, with the number 2 # and flexion interaction guide (e) expressed in two lines # indicate that the flexion must be performed twice. Flexion interaction guide ib) # which has three points # flexion interaction guide (d) # with the number 3 # and flexion interaction guide (e) # expressed in three lines # indicate that the flexion must be performed three times. Although the number is, expressed around the line in FIG, 34 # it can be superimposed and displayed on the line.
[000212] in addition to that # several control operations can be defined # according to the angle of flexion or the degree of flexion. For example # when bending, 30® # during dc implementation · e-book application and display of e-book content # a first control operation can be performed to move from a first page to a second page on a page-by-page basis. When flexing is done, at 00 ^:> # a second cent role operation can be performed to pass a plurality of pages at once. Therefore # it is necessary that the angle of flexion or the degree of flexion is informed through the interaction guide for flexion. (00'021.3] FIG, 35 illustrates several examples of the interaction guides for flexion # which express the angle of flexion or the degree of flexion. With reference to FIG. 35 # what is shown may include guides for the interaction flexion ( a) # (b} # that express the flexion angle with the number # and interaction flexion guides (c) # (d) that express the flexion angle with a graphic symbol In FIG. 35 # the image guide The line number indicates, the flexion position # and the number or symbol indicates the flexion angle or the degree of flexion. The number and symbol of FIG. 35 can also be superimposed and displayed on the line.
{0002141 In addition, several control operations can be defined, according to the retention time. 'For example, in the event that an e-book application is implemented, and e-book content is displayed, when flexing is done by a segment, a first control operation can be performed to move from one first page to the next in a page-by-page basis. When bending is done for three seconds, a second control operation can be performed to pass a plurality of pages from ama to see. Therefore, the flexion retention time can be informed through the flexion interaction guide, [G0O215] FIG, 36 illustrates examples of the flexion interaction guides that express, flexion retention time. With reference to FIG. 36, interaction guides for flexion (a), (b) express the line image guides, which indicate flexion position with. is and 3s characters, which indicate flexion retention times of 1 second and 3 seconds. A user can recognize intuitively bending methods by viewing bending interaction guides (a), (b) of FIG, 36.
[Q00216] In addition, when functions correlated with multiple flexions, which flex different areas, are provided several times, the interaction guide for flexion, which expresses the order of flexion, could be displayed, so that a user can recognize the bending order.
[0Ü02 li] FIG. 37 1.1 uses several examples of the bending interaction guide, in. that respective numbers are added to express the order of flexion. With reference to FIG. 37, when a first flexion is made in a second direction, when a second. flexion is done for a first direction, what is displayed can include interaction guide for flexion (a), in which the number 1 is expressed with a dotted line, and the number 2 is expressed with a solid line.

[000220] Besides said, in order to express c winding, what is displayed may include interaction guides for flexion (c), (d), which include the images of. line guide, which indicate the initial position of winding · and Cs arrow images, which indicate the ^ X ^ VifíV ^ uΑφ è: .nX'QXt.G * [000221] The above describes that a bending shape or method is expressed with the various methods, which combine the line guide images, character guides and symbol guides. However, the interaction guides for flexion can be displayed only with. texts, while excluding line guide images.
[000222> The various exemplary forms of reconnection above describe the respective screens based on cases in which the flexible device is implemented as a flexible monitor, including the display. However, the flexible device can be implemented as a device, which is connected to an external monitor and controls associated operations.
[000223] FIG »39 illustrates the constitution of a flexible device, which interacts with an external monitor, according to another exemplary embodiment» [000224] With reference to FIG. 39, flexible device 100 can be connected to a monitor .200 wired or wireless »The flexible device 100 is made of flexible material, and can be flexed arbitrarily by a user, while monitor 000 asks to be implemented as a generic monitor , which is not flexible. Specifically, several types of monitors, such as a television (TV), electronic frame, monitor or announcement panel, can be implemented »[000225] Q monitor 200 displays a screen including respective objects added with the interaction guides for flexion.
(000226] According to an exemplary embodiment, the screen, including objects added with the interaction guides for flexion, can be created and displayed by monitor 200.
[00022'7] The .200 monitor previously stores information about flexion related to. each control operation and the interaction guides for flexion »Information about flexion can be named with information about format, flexion or as information about flexion method. Thus, when the monitor 200 turns on and displays the main screen, or implements the respective applications or. functions and display the implementation screen, the interaction guides for flexion, in relation to objects, are displayed, when there are objects correlated to flexion.
(000228.] When control signals, which correspond to fiexion, are received from the flexible device that can be flexed, the monitor 200 performs control operations, according to the control signals. menu of the as- infrared (IR) signals or communication signals, which are transmitted through various interfaces, such as Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, ZigB-ee, on serial interface.

[000235] Controller 120 can transmit information relating to objects and the interaction guide for flexion added to objects, to monitor 200, so that monitor 200 can display a screen, including objects and the interaction guide for flexion · .
[000236] In addition, when bending is detected by sensar 110, controller 120 can transmit control signals, which indicate control operations corresponding to the detected bending, to monitor 200. Therefore, a user can control external monitor operations 200 , flexing the flexible apparatus 100.
[000237] When the graphics processor is also added in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 40, the controller 120 can process the screen itself, which includes the objects and the interaction guide for flexing, to transmit the rendering data to the monitor 200.

[000242] When a flexion defined with respect to the object displayed on the screen is detected, the flexible device performs operations corresponding to the object, in operation 34130. When the flexible device is connected to an external monitor, control signals corresponding to the flexion can be transmitted to the monitor. When the flexible monitor includes a viewfinder, various operations, depending on the flexion, can be implemented.
[000243]. Thus, when bending is done, an application, which corresponds to the object corresponding to the bending, can be implemented. Specifically, when the flexion corresponding to the game icon is performed, a corresponding game application can be implemented, and when the flexion corresponding to the phone icon is performed, the phone connection screen, which includes numeric keys, can be displayed. In addition, when the flexion corresponding to the contact menu is performed, a pre-stored contact list is displayed on the screen. Therefore, when the flexion correlated to the object is performed, a program corresponding to the object is implemented.
[000244.) When the flexion defined for basic functions, which are not expressed by objects, is performed, basic functions can be implemented, according to the flexion. For example, various control operations, such as turning on, turning off, converting channel, adjusting volume, adjusting size, converting ρ page, converting content, adding ap1i oati vo, ending input, go to background, display midget, delete screen from Widget, start playing content, end, pause, rewind and fast forward playback, can be activated by flexing.
