First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling data displayed by a multi-screen device, comprising:
- determining that the multi-screen device has been rotated from a first open state to a second different open state;
determining a relative position of a first screen that originally displayed data from a first application when the multi-screen device was in the first open state and a second screen that was not displaying data from the first application when the multi-screen device was in the first open state; and
controlling data displayed on the second screen in the second open state based on the determined relative position of the first screen and second screen.

Abstract
A multi-screen user device and methods for controlling data displayed thereby are disclosed. Specifically, the data displayed by the multiple screens of the multi-screen user device is conditioned upon the relative position of the multiple screens. A gravity-drop display feature is also disclosed in which data from a first application on a first screen is automatically displayed on a second screen when the device is rotated.

16. A multi-screen user device, comprising:
-
a first screen including a first display area; a second screen including a second display area; a hinge configured to connect the first screen with the second screen; a sensor configured to produce an electrical signal indicative of a relative position of the first screen and the second screen; and a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that include; a first set of instructions configured to determine that the multi-screen device has been rotated from a first open state to a second different open state; a second set of instructions configured to determine a relative position of a first screen that originally displayed data from a first application when the multi-screen device was in the first open state and a second screen that was not displaying data from the first application when the multi-screen device was in the first open state; and a third set of instructions configured to control data displayed on the second screen in the second open state based on the determined relative position of the first screen and second screen. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
