An electronic device that is capable of efficiently providing or acquiring information on content data, and a method for controlling the same are provided. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for transporting, removing or inserting rod-like elements. Therefore, the graphic data scanned subsequently is correctly connected to the restored graphic data to avoid the missing line or repetition of graphic data. The rigid links are in turn operatively coupled to a mass component that is free to move linearly in a path generally parallel to the longitudinal axes of the flexible beams.
