Adaptation of different portions of an adaptive display device in a wearable configuration

A method comprising:

• receiving an indication from at least one sensor of an on body or near-body position of an electronic device that is a flexible electronic device;
• in response to receiving the indication from the at least one sensor of an on-body or near-body position of the electronic device, triggering at least one image capturing device of the flexible electronic device to activate and capture corresponding one or more preview images of a respective field of view, the electronic device having a flexible electronic display and being usable as a wearable device;
• determining, by a processor of the electronic device, an on-body position of the electronic device, in part based on the one or more preview images;
• identifying, by the processor, a context associated with a user of the electronic device based on the determined on-body position, while the electronic device is being worn by the user;
• and
• based on the context, loading and presenting a customization display theme on at least an outward facing portion of a flexible display of the electronic device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions that when executed by a processor of an electronic device that comprises a flexible electronic display that is usable as a wearable device, the program instructions configure the electronic device to perform functions comprising:

• receiving an indication from at least one sensor of an on-body or near-body position of the electronic device;
• and
• in response to receiving an indication of an on-body or near-body position of the electronic device, triggering at least one image capturing device of the electronic device to activate and capture corresponding one or more preview images of a respective field of view;
• determining, by a processor of the electronic device, an on-body position of the electronic device, in part based on the one or more preview images;
• identifying a context associated with a user of the electronic device based on the determined on-body position, while the electronic device is being worn by the user;
• and
• based on the context, loading and presenting a customization display theme on at least an outward facing portion of the display.
