Abstract
An electronic device, method and computer program product enable additional touch function for rollable or scrollable display device. The electronic device presents a function on a flexible display coupled across at least a front of a flexible display support structure and a base housing. The function has interactive feature(s) that can be manually modified by a user input. The electronic device segments non-display portion(s) of at least a distal edge of a flexible display support structure that is extendable and retractable relative to a base housing that may be held. The segments emulate hardware buttons at edge touch location(s) corresponding to the interactive feature(s). A control input of the interactive feature(s) detected by touch sensor(s) is associated to a touch at a particular edge touch location. The electronic device triggers a corresponding response of the presented function in response to receipt of the control input.
