Sight detection to dynamically select visible portions of flexible displays

A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:

• determining, based on a camera of the mobile device, whether a user line of sight to a flexible display of the mobile device is detectable or undetectable with the camera;
• selecting one of a near-camera display region or a far-camera display region as a visible display region of the flexible display based on a fold position where the flexible display is bent, a camera position, and whether the user line of sight is detectable or undetectable with the camera;
• and
• displaying graphical content in the visible display region.

A mobile device comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the mobile device to:
• determine whether a user line of sight relative to a rectangular flexible display of the mobile device is detectable or undetectable with a camera of the mobile device;
• select a visible display region of the rectangular flexible display on either side of a fold position where the rectangular flexible display is bent between two shorter ends of the rectangular flexible display that contact a surface based on a camera position and whether the user line of sight is detectable or undetectable with the camera;
• and
• display graphical content in the visible display region.
