Abstract

Tout en exécutant une première application, un processeur d'un dispositif électronique selon un mode de réalisation peut afficher une première liste d'applications exécutées par le processeur, et une seconde liste, dans une unité d'affichage flexible, en réponse à une première entrée indiquant l'affichage de la première liste, dans lequel la première liste comprend un premier objet visuel correspondant à la première application. Le processeur peut afficher la première liste et la seconde liste dans des zones respectives divisées par un boîtier pliant à l'intérieur de l'unité d'affichage flexible, dans un état où un angle circonscrit à l'intérieur d'une plage spécifiée est détecté par un capteur.
