Focus changes due to gravity drop
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions executable by a processor, the computer-executable instructions causing the processor to execute a method for changing focus in a multi-screen device, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
- instructions to determine a first configurable area to display, wherein the first configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the multi-screen device, wherein a second configurable area is disabled and not displayed, and wherein the first configurable area and the second configurable area are not provided together;
instructions to receive an orientation change;
instructions to display a window in one of a first or second touch sensitive display;
instructions to expand the window into a full screen window that is displayed across both the first and second touch sensitive displays;
instructions to change focus to the window; and
instructions to change from the first configurable area to the second configurable area, wherein the second configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the multi-screen device, wherein the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area are similar to the two or more selectable controls included with the first configurable area, and when selected by a user, each of the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area cause the multi-screen device to perform the same function as each of the similar controls included with the first configurable area, wherein first and second touch sensitive displays display the window, and wherein the first configurable area is disabled and not displayed.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provides for adjusting focus during an orientation change. A window is displayed on a single display before the orientation change. After the device is oriented in the landscape orientation, the window expands into a full screen window being displayed on two displays. Further, the focus is changed to the window. And, a configurable area associated with at least one screen that displays the full screen window is changed to display the configurable area on the screen that is at the top of the device.

9. A device comprising:
-
a first screen comprising; a first touch sensitive display; a first configurable area, wherein the first configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the device; a second screen comprising; a second touch sensitive display; a second configurable area, wherein the second configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the device, wherein the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area are similar to the two or more selectable controls included with the first configurable area, and when selected by a user, each of the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area cause the multi-screen device to perform the same function as each of the similar controls included with the first configurable area, wherein the first configurable area and the second configurable area are not provided together; wherein a first window is displayed on the second touch sensitive display and does not have focus; a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory and each of the at least two screens, the processor operable to; determine to provide the first configurable area, wherein the second configurable area is not provided; receive an orientation change, wherein the orientation change changes the device from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation; expand the first window into a full screen window displayed on both the first touch sensitive display and the second touch sensitive display; change focus to the first window; and change from the first configurable area to the second configurable area, wherein first and second touch sensitive displays display the window, and wherein the first configurable area is disabled and not displayed. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for presenting a display for a multi-screen device, the method comprising:
-
displaying a first window on a second touch sensitive display; determining to provide a first configurable area, wherein the first configurable area is not associated with the second touch sensitive display, wherein the first configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the multi-screen device, wherein a second configurable area is disabled and not displayed, and wherein the first configurable area and the second configurable area are not provided together; receiving an orientation change, wherein the orientation change changes the device from the portrait orientation to a landscape orientation; expanding the first window, by a gravity drop, to be displayed on the second touch sensitive display and a first touch sensitive display; changing focus to the first window; and changing from the first configurable area to the second configurable area, wherein the second configurable area includes two or more selectable controls which allow a user to select functions associated with the multi-screen device, wherein the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area are similar to the two or more selectable controls included with the first configurable area, and when selected by a user, each of the two or more selectable controls included with the second configurable area cause the multi-screen device to perform the same function as each of the similar controls included with the first configurable area, wherein first and second touch sensitive displays display the window, and wherein the first configurable area is disabled and not displayed. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
