First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling data displayed by a multi-screen device, comprising:
- receiving a first user input that corresponds to instructions to maximize a first application displayed on a first screen of the dual-screen device;
referencing maximization rules for the first application; and
based on the maximization rules for the first application, causing data from the first application to be simultaneously displayed on both the first screen and a second screen of the dual-screen device.

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.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions configured to analyze a first user input received at a dual-screen device and determine that the first user input corresponds to instructions to maximize a first application displayed on a first screen of the dual-screen device; instructions configuration to reference maximization rules for the first application; and instructions configured to invoke the maximization of the first application such that data from the first application is simultaneously displayed on both the first screen and a second screen of the dual-screen device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A dual-screen user device, comprising:
-
a first screen including a first display area; a second screen including a second display area; and a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that include; a first set of instructions configured to analyze a first user input received at a dual-screen device and determine that the first user input corresponds to instructions to maximize a first application displayed on the display of the first screen; a second set of instructions configuration to reference maximization rules for the first application; and a third set of instructions configured to invoke the maximization of the first application such that data from the first application is simultaneously displayed on the both the first display area and the second display area. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
