A portable device having a display, the display including a main surface area, a first curved surface area extending from a first side of the main surface area, and a second curved surface area extending from a second side of the main surface area that is opposite the first side, a sensor configured to detect a state of the portable device, and a controller configured to control the display to display a user interface (UI) on one of the first curved surface and the second curved surface based on the state detected by the sensor.

User terminal device and control method thereof

A foldable device and a method of controlling the same are provided. The foldable device includes: a flexible display which includes a main display area and an edge display area; and a controller which is configured to determine, based on an angle at which the foldable device is unfolded, a range of a partial activation area of the main display area, wherein the range of the partial activation area is partially bounded by a boundary between the edge display area and the main display area.

Foldable device and method of controlling the same

A method of performing a function of a device based on motion information of the device in a standby mode of the device, a device for performing the method are provided. The device includes a sensor configured to detect movement of the device in a standby mode of the device; a storage configured to store motion information based on information related to the movement and at least one piece of function information corresponding to the motion information; and a processor configured to control the device to perform a function corresponding to the motion information in the standby mode based on the information related to the movement, the motion information, and the at least one piece of function information.

Method of performing function of device and device for performing the method

A content reproduction device includes a processor configured to request the server via the communicator for recommended content information in response to setting a content recommendation mode, receive the recommended content information from the server via the communicator, determine content based on the recommended content information and information regarding a user of the content reproduction device, and determine whether the user has reproduction authorization regarding the determined content. When determining that the user has no reproduction authorization regarding the determined content, the processor is configured to control the display to display a user interface for purchasing the reproduction authorization regarding the determined content, receive the determined content via the communicator from the server in response to receiving a user input for purchasing the reproduction authorization based on the user interface, and control the display to display the received content.

Content providing method and device

Provided is a display device for efficiently providing content to a user using a transparent display. The display device includes: a transparent display; a direction determiner configured to determine a user-facing surface among a first surface and a second surface of the transparent display, the user-facing surface referring to a surface which faces a user; and a controller configured to render first content on the transparent display in a direction corresponding to the first surface if the first surface faces the user, and configured to render second content on the transparent display in a direction corresponding to the second surface if the second surface faces the user.

Display device having a transparent display and a method for controlling the display device to render content on a surface of the transparent display that a user faces

Provided is a method of transmitting a message. The method includes: obtaining identification information used to identify a user based on bio information of the user that is obtained by a device; determining whether control over an external device is approved based on the identification information; obtaining control information used to control an operation of the external device based on the determination; and transmitting a message including the control information to the external device.

Device and method for transmitting message

A content reproduction device includes: a communicator that requests a server for recommended content information, and receives from the server the recommended content information as a response to the request; a controller that is configured to select content based on the received recommended content information; and a display that outputs the selected content, wherein the recommended content information is information for selecting the content according to a viewing information.
