Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus having a first display and a second display, and a processor which may detect a pressure touch that is input on an object displayed on either of the first and second displays, and may display the object on the other of the first and second displays corresponding to the pressure touch.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first display;

a second display;

a memory; and

at least one or more processor,

wherein the at least one or more processor is configured to, while the first display is superposed on the second display:

detect a pressure touch on a first position of the first display, and

when a first object is displayed on the first position of the first display, display a second object associated with the first object on the second display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch, wherein a visual representation of the second object is different from a visual representation of the first object,

when the first object is displayed on a position of the second display which corresponds to the first position of the first display and no object is displayed on the first position of the first display, display the second object associated with the first object on the first display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the first display and the second display comprises a protection cover, a touch panel that detects a touch, a display panel that displays at least one of object, and a pressure touch panel that detects a pressure touch.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first display is formed in a structure in which the first display slides on, or rotates about, the second display to open and close.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second object is identified based on the information regarding the first object corresponding to an application which provides the second object and comprises information on at least one function provided by the second application.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect a tap touch that is input on the first object on the first display, and provide a function corresponding to the first object.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify a touch with at least a predetermined strength as the pressure touch.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, when the first display covers the second display, the processor is further configured to turn the first display opaque.

8. A method of displaying an object by an electronic apparatus that comprises a first display, a second display, a memory, and at least one or more processor, the method comprising:

while the first display is superposed on the second display:

detecting a pressure touch on a first position of the first display, and

when a first object is displayed on the first position of the first display, displaying a second object associated with the first object on the second display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch, wherein a visual representation of the second object is different from a visual representation of the first object,

when the first object is displayed on a position of the second display which corresponds to the first position of the first display and no object is displayed on the first position of the first display, displaying the second object associated with the first object on the first display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second object is identified based on the information regarding the first object corresponding to an application which provides the second object and comprises information on at least one function provided by the second application.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recoding medium having recorded thereon a program comprising a method to display an object in an electronic apparatus that comprises a first display, a second display, a memory, and at least one or more processor, the method comprising:

while the first display is superposed on the second display:

detecting a pressure touch on a first position of the first display, and

when a first object is displayed on the first position of the first display, displaying a second object associated with the first object on the second display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch, wherein a visual representation of the second object is different from a visual representation of the first object,

when the first object is displayed on a position of the second display which corresponds to the first position of the first display and no object is displayed on the first position of the first display, displaying the second object associated with the first object on the first display based on information regarding the first object stored in the memory in response to the detection of the pressure touch.
