Abstract
A display system includes a display and a control circuit operable with the display. The display is configured to provide visual output having a presentation orientation. When user input is received, the control circuit can alter the presentation orientation from an initial orientation in response to user input. When non-user events or device events are detected, the control circuit can revert the presentation orientation to the initial orientation in response to the non-user event or device event. Where the presentation orientation has a user input configuration associated therewith, the user input configuration can either be altered with the presentation orientation or retained in an initial disposition.

14. An electronic module, comprising:
-
a housing; a control circuit disposed within the housing operable to alter an operating mode of the electronic module to one of a plurality of functional modes; and an extension detection sensor, operable with the control circuit and configured to detect an angular position of a first electronic module extension and a second electronic module extension hingedly coupled to a first side and a second side of the housing, each being selectively pivotable to an angularly displaced position relative to the housing; wherein the control circuit is configured to select the one of the plurality of functional modes based upon the angular position detected by the extension detection sensor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of selecting an operational mode of an electronic module, comprising:
-
detecting, with an extension sensor, an angular position of one or more electronic module extensions pivotally coupled to a housing and configured for selective movement between a plurality of angular displaced positions relative to the housing; correlating, with a control circuit, a detected angular position with an functional mode of the electronic module; and transitioning the operational mode of the electronic module to a correlated functional mode in response to the detecting. - View Dependent Claims (20)
