1. A method of controlling data displayed by a dual-display portion device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first user input gesture of a first gesture type, the first gesture type corresponding to an instruction to maximize a display of a first application displayed on a first display portion of the dual-display portion device;
determining, based on the first user input gesture and maximization rules associated with the first gesture type, a first display configuration for the first application;
based on the first display configuration for the first application, causing data from the first application to be simultaneously displayed on both the first display portion and a second display portion of the dual-display portion device in accordance with the first display configuration;
receiving a second user input gesture of a second gesture type corresponding to an instruction to minimize the first application displayed on the first and second display portions of the dual-display portion device; and
determining, based on the second user input gesture and minimization rules associated with the second gesture type, a second display configuration for the first application; and
based on the second display configuration for the first application, reformatting the first application to be displayed on the first display portion as prior to receiving the first user input.

Abstract
A dual-screen user device and methods for controlling data displayed thereby are disclosed. Specifically, the data displayed by the multiple screens of the dual-screen user device is conditioned upon the type of user gesture or combination of user gestures detected. The display controls described herein can correlate user inputs received in a gesture capture region to one or more display actions, which may include maximization, minimization, or reformatting instructions.

8. A device comprising:
-
one or more screens; a processor coupled with the one or more screens; and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to control data displayed on the one or more screens by; receiving a first user input gesture of a first gesture type, the first gesture type corresponding to an instruction to maximize a display of a first application displayed on a first display portion of the dual-display portion device; determining, based on the first user input gesture and maximization rules associated with the first gesture type, a first display configuration for the first application; based on the first display configuration for the first application, causing data from the first application to be simultaneously displayed on both the first display portion and a second display portion of the dual-display device in accordance with the first display configuration; receiving a second user input gesture of a second gesture type corresponding to an instruction to minimize the first application displayed on the first and second display portions of the dual-display portion device; and determining, based on the second user input gesture and minimization rules associated with the second gesture type, a second display configuration for the first application; and based on the second display configuration for the first application, reformatting the first application to be displayed on the first display portion as prior to receiving the first user input. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to control data displayed on one or more screens of a dual-display portion device by:
-
receiving a first user input gesture of a first gesture type, the first gesture type corresponding to an instruction to maximize a display of a first application displayed on a first display portion of the dual-display portion device; determining, based on the first user input gesture and maximization rules associated with the first gesture type, a first display configuration for the first application; based on the first display configuration for the first application, causing data from the first application to be simultaneously displayed on both the first display portion and a second display portions of the dual-display portion device in accordance with the first display configuration; receiving a second user input gesture of a second gesture type corresponding to an instruction to minimize the first application displayed on the first and second display portions of the dual-display portion device; and determining, based on the second user input gesture and minimization rules associated with the second gesture type, a second display configuration for the first application; and based on the second display configuration for the first application, reformatting the first application to be displayed on the first display portion as prior to receiving the first user input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
