Abstract
Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface on a second screen. More particularly, the method includes a change in the display mode of a multiple screen device from a first screen to a second screen while the device is closed. The change in the display mode may be made in response to one or more actions conducted by a user in a user interface or on the device. The actions can include changing the orientation of the device, for example, by flipping the device over to look at the second screen. The actions can also include the user touching a touch sensitive display. Further, a series of two or more actions may trigger the device to switch to the second screen.
