7. A device, comprising:
-
a first rectangular panel at least bearing a keyboard; a second rectangular panel at least bearing a display and which is coupled to the first panel at a junction; a first camera disposed on the second rectangular panel at a first longitudinal side of the second rectangular panel opposite a second longitudinal side of the second rectangular panel bordering the junction; a second camera disposed at least substantially at the junction; and a light source on the device and other than the display, wherein the device controls the light source to illuminate an object that is recognized by the device and is in a current field of view of the second camera, the device controlling the light source to not illuminate at least one other area of the current field of view of the second camera; wherein the device presents a user interface (UI) on the display at which at least one selector element is selectable to control an aspect of the current field of view of the second camera, the device presenting the UI responsive to the device being physically transitioned to a predefined configuration of the first rectangular panel relative to the second rectangular panel. - View Dependent Claims (13)
