Claims (5)

1. A method for changing a shape of a flexible electronic product, wherein the flexible electronic product comprises a flexible electronic assembled body and an actuator disposed along at least a portion of the flexible electronic assembled body to change a shape of the flexible electronic assembled body, the method for changing a shape comprising:

recognizing a signal input, generating a condition value of input information on the input signal;

searching a database for a shape information value corresponding to the condition value; and

supplying power to the actuator, the power corresponding to the shape information value searched in the database processing process, and controlling a change in shape of the actuator that receives the power.

2. The method for changing a shape of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the change in shape is ended if the shape information value corresponding to the condition value is not found in the database.
