Abstract
A method provides techniques for detecting, by a controller of an electronic device, where the electronic device comprises a device housing, a blade assembly carrying a blade and a flexible display and slidably coupled to the device housing, a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing to a plurality of positions between an extended position and a retracted position, and the controller communicatively coupled to the blade assembly and the translation mechanism, a force event acting on the translation mechanism. The method further includes detecting a force direction associated with the force event, and performing at least one action on the electronic device in response to detecting the force event and the associated force direction.
