Abstract
A dual-screen computing device includes two separate displays that are coupled to an interconnecting hinge. A hinge detector detects movement or position of the hinge, and the positions of the displays may be determined based on the hinge movement or position. The positions of the displays relative to each other may then be used to determine which mode of operation the dual-screen computing device is operating (e.g., tent mode, open, closed, etc.). Additionally, the dual-screen computing device may include various sensors that detect different environmental, orientation, location, and device-specific information. Applications are configured to operate differently based on the mode of operation and, optionally, the sensor data detected by the sensors.
Claims20
A computer-storage memory device comprising executable instructions operating a dual-screen computing device comprising a first display and a second display that are both coupled to a hinge, the computer-storage memory device comprising:
- a hinge sensor configured to monitor movement of the hinge for use in determining a position of the first display relative to the second display;
- a mode detector configured to determine the dual-screen computing device is operating in a tent mode of operation based on the position of the first display relative to the second display;
- and
- an application configured to perform at least one function in a manner based on the tent mode of operation of the dual-screen computing device, wherein the at least one function comprises:
- presenting a reference image on the second display and not on the first display;
- displaying, on the second display, a user input from the first display, the user input being a selection of the at least one function;
- presenting the user input received on the first display on the second display in conjunction with the reference image;
- in response to the hinge sensor determining a folding operation, creating an inverse copy of the reference image;
- and
- presenting the reference image on the second display and the created inverse copy of the reference image on the first display.
A dual-screen computing device comprising:
- a first display;
- a second display, the first and second display being coupled to a hinge;
- a hinge sensor configured to monitor movement of the hinge for use in determining a position of the first display relative to the second display;
- a mode detector configured to determine the dual-screen computing device is operating in a tent mode of operation based on the position of the first display relative to the second display;
- and
- an application configured to perform at least one function in a manner based on the tent mode of operation of the dual-screen computing device, wherein the at least one function comprises:
- presenting a reference image on the second display and not on the first display;
- displaying, on the second display, a user input from the first display, the user input being a selection of the at least one function,
- presenting the user input received on the first display on the second display in conjunction with the reference image;
- in response to the hinge sensor determining a folding operation, creating an inverse copy of the reference image;
- and
- presenting the reference image on the second display and the created inverse copy of the reference image on the first display.
A computer storage media having computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a dual-screen computing device comprising a first display and a second display coupled to a hinge to perform the following operations:
- monitor movement of the hinge for use in determining a position of the first display relative to the second display;
- determine the dual-screen computing device is operating in a tent mode of operation based on the position of the first display relative to the second display;
- and
- perform at least one function in a manner based on the tent mode of operation of the dual-screen computing device, wherein the at least one function comprises:
- presenting a reference image on the second display and not on the first display;
- displaying, on the second display, a user input from the first display, the user input being a selection of the at least one function,
- presenting the user input received on the first display on the second display in conjunction with the reference image;
- in response to a hinge sensor determining a folding operation, creating an inverse copy of the reference image;
- and
- presenting the reference image on the second display and the created inverse copy of the reference image on the first display.
