Abstract
Embodiments of mobile computer device display postures are described. In embodiments, a first display is integrated in a first housing of a dual-display mobile computer device, and a second display is integrated in a second housing of the dual-display mobile computer device. Position data can be sensed from a binding that movably connects the first housing and the second housing, and a position angle can be determined between the first housing and the second housing that correlates to a display posture of the first display and the second display.
Claims20
A dual-display mobile computer device, comprising:
- a first display integrated in a first housing of the dual-display mobile computer device;
- a second display integrated in a second housing of the dual-display mobile computer device, the second housing movably connected to the first housing to position the first display and the second display in a display posture;
- and
- a position controller configured to receive position data and determine a position angle between the first display and the second display that correlates to the display posture.
A method implemented in a dual-display mobile computer device, the method comprising:
- displaying an application interface on a first display that is integrated in a first housing of the dual-display mobile computer device;
- displaying the application interface on a second display that is integrated in a second housing of the dual-display mobile computer device;
- sensing position data from a binding that movably connects the first housing and the second housing;
- and
- determining a position angle between the first housing and the second housing that correlates to a display posture of the first display and the second display.
