1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via a sensor of a client device, data identifying a computing device to the client device, wherein the data is displayed on a user interface of the computing device;
determining, by the client device, an orientation of the client device relative to the computing device based on an orientation of the received data; and
transmitting, by the client device to the computing device, an indicia of the orientation of the client device relative to the computing device to enable the computing device to rotate the user interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining an orientation of one or more client devices relative to a computing device. In various embodiments a method and system is provided for receiving, via a client device, data being displayed on a computing device. The data is used to determine an orientation of the client device relative to a computing device. The determined orientation of the client device is used to orient a user interface of a computing device.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed cause a computing device to:
-
dynamically generate data identifying the computing device; display, by a user interface of the computing device, the data in accordance with an orientation, wherein the data displayed in accordance with the orientation enables a client device to identify the computing device and to determine an orientation of the client device relative to the computing device; receive, from the client device, an indicia of the orientation of the client device relative to the computing device, the indicia responsive to capture, by a sensor of the client device, of the data displayed by the user interface of the computing device; and rotate the user interface of the computing device based on the received indicia of the orientation of the client device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A client device comprising:
-
a sensor to receive data identifying a computing device, wherein the data is displayed on a user interface of the computing device; a processor; a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by the processor to determine an orientation of the client device relative to the computing device based on an orientation of the received data, and to output an orientation signal to be transmitted to the computing device, the orientation signal representing the orientation of the client device relative to the computing device; and a transmitter to send the orientation signal to the computing device to cause the computing device to rotate the user interface of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
