Inference of an intended primary display of a hinged mobile device

A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

• recognizing physical movement of at least one display portion of a plurality of display portions, associated with the computing device, as a device gesture to indicate that a first display portion of the plurality of display portions is intended to be used as a primary display;
• detecting, from one or more sensors connected with the computing device, context information related to a grip of a user during the physical movement of the one or more of the at least one display portion;
• analyzing the context information related to the grip of the user to determine an identity of the user;
• analyzing attribute data related to the grip of the user from stored identity data of the user identified based on the identity of the user;
• validating a recognition that the first of the plurality of display portions is intended to be used as the primary display based on an evaluation of the context information related to the grip of the user relative to the attribute data related to the grip of the user from the stored identity data of the user;
• and
• initiating the first display portion as the primary display based on a result of the validating of the recognition that the first display portion is intended to be used as the primary display.

A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

• displaying content via at least one of a first display portion or a second display portion, the first display portion connected to the second display portion via a hinge and the first display portion being used as a primary display;
• recognizing a device gesture based on physical movement of the computing device, wherein the recognizing recognizes the physical movement as an input signal to indicate that the second display portion is intended to be used as the primary display;
• detecting, from the one or more sensors, context information related to a grip of a user during the physical movement of the computing device;
• analyzing the context information related to the grip of the user to determine an identity of the user;
• analyzing attribute data related to the grip of the user from stored identity data of the user identified based on the identity of the user;
• validating a recognition that the second display portion is to be used as the primary display based on an evaluation of the context information relative to the attribute data related to the grip of the user from the stored identity data of the user;
• initiating the second display portion as the primary display based on a result of the validating of the recognition that the second display portion is intended to be the primary display.
