Compute box and corresponding systems and methods for formatting content for presentation on flexible content presentation companion devices

A method for a compute box, the method comprising:

• detecting, with a communication device from signals received by the communication device:
• a geometric configuration of a flexible content presentation companion device defining a visible area of a flexible display carried by the flexible content presentation companion device;
• and
• another geometric configuration of another flexible content presentation companion device defining another visible area of another flexible display carried by the another flexible content presentation companion device;
• rendering, by one or more processors:
• content for presentation on the visible area of the flexible display carried by the flexible content presentation companion device;
• and
• other content for presentation on the visible area of the another flexible display carried by the another flexible content presentation companion device;
• detecting, with the communication device from other signals received by the communication device, one or both of:
• a change in the geometric configuration of the flexible content presentation companion device;
• and/or
• another change in the another geometric configuration of the another flexible content presentation companion device;
• and
• in response, one or both of:
• again rendering the content to create adapted content for presentation on a different visible portion of the flexible display carried by the flexible content presentation companion device created by the change in the geometric configuration of the flexible content presentation companion device;
• and/or
• again rendering the other content to create another adapted content for presentation on another different visible portion of the another flexible display carried by the another flexible content presentation companion device created by the another change in the another geometric configuration of the another flexible content presentation companion device.

A compute box system, comprising:

• a compute box comprising one or more processors and a communication device;
• a first flexible content presentation companion device comprising a first flexible display, electronically in communication with the communication device of the compute box, and receiving first content for presentation on a visible area defined by a geometric configuration of the first flexible content presentation companion device;
• and
• a second flexible content presentation companion device comprising a second flexible display, electronically in communication with the communication device of the compute box, and receiving second content for presentation on another visible area defined by another geometric configuration of the second flexible content presentation companion device;
• wherein when the geometric configuration or the another geometric configuration changes, the one or more processors adjust a rendering of the first content or the second content, respectively, as a function of changes to the geometric configuration or the another geometric configuration.
