Abstract

Un appareil électronique selon divers modes de réalisation divulgués ici peut comprendre : un premier boîtier ; un second boîtier qui est disposé de façon à être mobile par rapport au premier boîtier et chevauche au moins une partie du premier boîtier, et qui est déplacé dans une première direction par rapport au premier boîtier et inséré dans le premier boîtier de façon à amener l'appareil électronique à se rétracter, ou déplacé dans une seconde direction par rapport au premier boîtier et retiré du premier boîtier de façon à amener l'appareil électronique à s'étendre ; un écran souple qui est au moins partiellement monté sur la surface du second boîtier et dont au moins une partie est rétracté ou étendu ; et au moins un processeur. Le ou les processeurs peuvent être configurés pour : identifier, sur la base de données acquises par rapport à l'appareil électronique, si le mode de fonctionnement de l'appareil électronique a changé, le mode de fonctionnement comprenant l'état physique de l'appareil électronique ou de l'écran souple ; délivrer un premier signal d'affichage pour afficher un indicateur associé au mode de fonctionnement sur l'écran souple, le premier signal d'affichage étant délivré sur la base du fait que le mode de fonctionnement identifié a changé ; et délivrer un signal de commande pour changer le mode de fonctionnement de l'appareil électronique lorsque l'indicateur est affiché sur l'écran souple sur la base du premier signal d'affichage de sortie.
