Mobile terminal and control method therefor

This invention describes a mobile phone or tablet with a display that's split into two parts. One part can rotate over the other, either covering it or revealing it. The device has sensors on its left and right ends that detect movement, and a controller uses these signals to figure out how much the display is bent or rotated, then changes what the device does accordingly. The claims specifically describe a flexible terminal body where the display's two portions rotate to form a variable included angle.

Why it matters: Filed before commercial foldable and rollable display technologies were mature, this invention's core concept of a rotatable display portion on a flexible body is now much more feasible due to advancements in display manufacturing and hinge mechanisms since 2015.
