Mobile terminal and method of controlling the same
According to one embodiment, there is provided a mobile terminal including a terminal body that includes a first body and a second body, which is formed to be switchable between an opened state and a close state; a hinge unit that supports the first and second bodies to be rotated relative to each other; and a display unit that includes an inside-surface display area s, and first and second extension display areas, in which information associated with a first screen is displayed on any one of the first and second extension display areas, in which an icon which indicates that the first and second extension display area are combinable is displayed along with information associated with the first screen, and in which the information associated with the first screen is changed and the changed information is displayed on a combined extension display area.
1. A terminal comprising:
a first body and a second body, wherein the first body and the second body are positionable between an open state and a closed state, wherein in the open state a first side of the first body and a first side of the second body are exposed and in the closed state the first side of the first body faces the first side of the second body, and wherein the first body has an edge that extends from the first side of the first body and the second body has an edge that extends from the first side of the second body;
a hinge connecting the first body with the second body, wherein the hinge permits positioning of the first body and the second body;
a display comprising a first display region located on the first side of the first body and the first side of the second body, wherein the display further comprises second and third display regions which each extend from the first display region and which are respectively located at the edges of the first and second bodies; and
a controller configured to:
cause the display to display a first screen on the first display region when in the open state;
cause the display to display information associated with the first screen on the second display region in response to switching from the open state to the closed state;
cause the display to display an icon on either or both of the second or third display regions while in the closed state, wherein the icon is displayed in association with the information displayed on the second display region;
cause the display to stop displaying the information associated with the first screen on the second display region and to display the information on a combined display region that includes both the second display region and the third display region, in response to an input received with regard to the icon, and
vary display position and size of the information relative to a border of the second and third display regions, in further response to the input.
2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the icon is displayed at a border of the second and third regions along a drag path of the received input.
3. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
when the input is received while partial information of a first group associated with the first screen is displayed on each of the second and third display regions, vary the partial information according to a designated order and cause the display to display the varied partial information on the combined display region; and
vary next partial information of first group for display, based on a preset touch gesture received at the combined display region.
4. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first screen varies along a drag path of the input.
5. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
cause the display to stop displaying the information associated with the first screen on the combined display region and display the information on one of the second or third display regions, in response to a drag input that is in a direction that is opposite that of a direction of the input received with regard to the icon.
