Abstract
A method includes detecting a closure of an electronic device that ends a communication session involving a user of the electronic device. The method also includes displaying, on an external display of the electronic device viewable when the electronic device is closed and based on a context associated with at least one of the electronic device or the user, multiple images for selection by the user. In addition, the method includes receiving a selection by the user of at least one of the displayed images and initiating transmission of the at least one selected image to another electronic device associated with another party involved with the communication session.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by an electronic device, a closure of the electronic device into a closed configuration that ends a communication session involving a user of the electronic device;
- generating, by the electronic device, a query comprising at least one search tag in response to the electronic device detecting the closure;
- obtaining multiple images in response to the query;
- simultaneously displaying, on an external display of the electronic device viewable when the electronic device is in the closed configuration and based on a context associated with at least one of the electronic device or the user, the multiple images for selection by the user;
- receiving a selection by the user of at least one of the displayed images;
- and
- initiating transmission of the at least one selected image to another electronic device associated with another party involved with the communication session.
An electronic device comprising:
- an internal display viewable when the electronic device is in an open configuration;
- an external display viewable when the electronic device is in a closed configuration;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- detect a closure of the electronic device into the closed configuration that ends a communication session involving a user of the electronic device;
- generate a query comprising at least one search tag in response to the detection of the closure;
- obtain multiple images in response to the query;
- simultaneously display, on the external display and based on a context associated with at least one of the electronic device or the user, the multiple images for selection by the user;
- receive a selection by the user of at least one of the displayed images;
- and
- initiate transmission of the at least one selected image to another electronic device associated with another party involved with the communication session.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one processor of an electronic device to:
- detect a closure of the electronic device into a closed configuration that ends a communication session involving a user of the electronic device;
- generate a query comprising at least one search tag in response to the detection of the closure;
- obtain multiple images in response to the query;
- simultaneously display, on an external display of the electronic device viewable when the electronic device is in the closed configuration and based on a context associated with at least one of the electronic device or the user, the multiple images for selection by the user;
- receive a selection by the user of at least one of the displayed images;
- and
- initiate transmission of the at least one selected image to another electronic device associated with another party involved with the communication session.
