Abstract

A content display method of a user terminal device including a bended touch screen divided into a main area and a sub area, includes displaying, on the main area, a first main content provided by a first application, and displaying, on the sub area, a first sub content associated with the first main content, receiving a user gesture input on the main area, and in response to receiving the user gesture, displaying, on the main area, a second main content provided by a second application, and displaying, on the sub area, a second sub content associated with the second main content.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a display comprising a main display area and a curved auxiliary display area, the curved auxiliary display area being extended from the main display area such that the curved auxiliary display area is curved from a plane of the main display area, the curved auxiliary display area being smaller than the main display area; and

one or more processors configured to:

based on a user input on the main display area being received, display a first screen on the display, and

based on a predetermined user input being received on the curved auxiliary display area, display, on the display, a second screen previously displayed on the display,

wherein a type of the predetermined user input being received on the curved auxiliary display area is a drag input in a direction along the curved auxiliary display area.

2. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein information included in the first screen is different from information included in the second screen.

3. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a display comprising a main display area and a curved auxiliary display area, the curved auxiliary display area being extended from the main display area such that the curved auxiliary display area is curved from a plane of the main display area, the curved auxiliary display area being smaller than the main display area; and

one or more processors configured to:

display a first screen on the display,

display a second screen on the display, and

based on a user input on the curved auxiliary display area being received, display a boundary line on the display that divides the display into a first area on a first side of the boundary line and a second area on a second side of the boundary line, display the first screen on the first area, and display the second screen on the second area.

4. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to, based on a user input for dragging the boundary line being received, move the boundary line according to the user input for the dragging, and

wherein a first size of the first area and a second size of the second area are changed according to movement of the boundary line.

5. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus which comprises a display comprising a main display area and a curved auxiliary display area, the curved auxiliary display area being extended from the main display area such that the curved auxiliary display area is curved from a plane of the main display area, the curved auxiliary display area being smaller than the main display area, the method comprising:

based on a user input on the main display area being received, displaying a first screen on the display; and

based on a predetermined user input being received on the curved auxiliary display area, displaying, on the display, a second screen previously displayed on the display,

wherein a type of the predetermined user input being received on the curved auxiliary display area is a drag input in a direction along the curved auxiliary display area.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein information included in the first screen is different from information included in the second screen.

7. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus which comprises a display comprising a main display area and a curved auxiliary display area, the curved auxiliary display area being extended from the main display area such that the curved auxiliary display area is curved from a plane of the main display area, the curved auxiliary display area being smaller than the main display area, the method comprising:

displaying a first screen on the display;

displaying a second screen on the display; and

based on a user input on the curved auxiliary display area being received, displaying a boundary line on the display that divides the display into a first area on a first side of the boundary line and a second area on a second side of the boundary line, displaying the first screen on the first area and displaying the second screen on the second area.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising:

based on a user input for dragging the boundary line being received, moving the boundary line according to the user input for the dragging, and

wherein a first size of the first area and a second size of the second area are changed according to movement of the boundary line.
