Abstract: An electronic device includes a blade assembly with a flexible display and a translation mechanism that adjusts the movement of the blade assembly based on user input. The device detects user input and translates the blade assembly at varying speeds depending on the category of user input. Initial translation speeds are set based on the frequency of interaction and the user's familiarity with the device, with slower speeds for new or infrequent users and faster speeds for seasoned or frequent users. The translation speed increases as the device receives subsequent user inputs, adapting to the user's learning curve. The device also includes one or more processors that modify the translation speed in response to the level of friction applied to the blade assembly. Additionally, the device may comprise sensors to identify the source of user input, further tailoring the translation speed to the user's interaction patterns.
