Abstract

A method for performing smart screen rotation and an electronic device thereof are provided. A method for controlling screen rotation in an electronic device includes determining a direction of the electronic device, and determining a direction of a user, and determining whether to rotate a screen by comparing the direction of the electronic device with the direction of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to automatic screen rotation in portable electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices have become a necessity of modern life due to technological advancements and the ease of portability of portable electronic devices ("portable devices" for short, eg, smart phones, tablet computers). Portable devices have been developed as multimedia equipment providing various services, such as a voice call function, a video call function, an information input / output function, and a data storage function. Touch screen portable devices are especially popular. [0003] Today's portable devices with rectangular display screens generally offer an automatic screen rotation feature ("auto-rotate" for short) that automatically rotates the displayed image relative to the display screen when it detects that the portable device is oriented in a specific way . For example, when a device with a rectangular displa...
