Surfacing dynamic call transcripts for a secondary display

A method comprising:

• during a communication exchange between a first electronic device and a communicatively connected second electronic device, determining, by a processor of the first electronic device, whether a trusted person is detected within a threshold distance in proximity of a first display of the first electronic device, the first electronic device comprising:
• an enclosure comprising a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface;
• a communications subsystem comprising at least one interface by which the first electronic device communicatively connects via a wireless connection to the second electronic device to enable a user of the first electronic device to engage in a communication exchange with a second user of the second electronic device;
• at least one display comprising a first display incorporated into the first surface, and oriented to be outward facing, away from the user of the electronic device while the user is engaged in the communication exchange, the electronic device to selectively generate and present call transcripts on the first display;
• and
• at least one image capturing device having a field of view (FOV) in viewing range of the first display;
• in response to detecting a trusted person within the threshold distance, determining whether the trusted person is in an inquisitive mode relative to at least one of a user of the first electronic device and the communication exchange;
• and
• in response to determining that the trusted person is in an inquisitive mode, activating a transcript sharing mode of the first electronic device and surfacing a transcript of an ongoing communication on the first display of the first electronic device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions that when executed by a processor of a first electronic device that comprises an interface that enables the first electronic device to communicatively connect via a wireless connection to a second electronic device to effect a communication exchange, configure the first electronic device to perform functions comprising:

• during a communication exchange between the first electronic device and a communicatively connected second electronic device, determining whether a trusted person is detected within a threshold distance in proximity of a first display of the first electronic device, the first electronic device comprising:
• an enclosure comprising a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface;
• a communications subsystem comprising the interface by which the first electronic device communicatively connects via the wireless connection to the second electronic device to enable a user of the first electronic device to engage in the communication exchange with a second user of the second electronic device;
• a first display incorporated into the first surface, and oriented to be outward facing, away from the user of the electronic device while the user is engaged in the communication exchange, the electronic device to selectively generate and present call transcripts on the first display;
• and
• at least one image capturing device having a field of view (FOV) in viewing range of the first display;
• in response to detecting a trusted person within the threshold distance, determining whether the trusted person is in an inquisitive mode relative to at least one of a first user of the first electronic device and the communication exchange;
• and
• in response to determining that the trusted person is in an inquisitive mode, activating a transcript sharing mode of the first electronic device and surfacing a transcript of an ongoing communication on the first display of the first electronic device.
