Abstract
Embodiments are described for handling focus when a gesture is input in a multi-screen device. In embodiments, the gesture indicates that two images, one that is in focus, swap positions. In response to receiving the gesture, the image in focus is moved from a first display of a first screen to a second display of a second screen. After the images are swapped, the focus is maintained on the image that originally had the focus.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- displaying by at least one processor a first image on a first display of a first screen;
- displaying by the at least one processor a second image on a second display of a second screen, wherein the second image is in focus;
- receiving, by at least one of a gesture capture region and a touch sensitive area, a gesture indicating a request to move the first viewed image to the second display and move the second viewed image to the first display;
- in response to receiving the gesture:
- displaying the first image in the second display;
- displaying the second image on the first display;
- and
- maintaining by the at least one processor the focus on the second image in the first display.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by a gesture capture region, a pinch gesture indicating a request to move a first window that is in focus and displayed on a first display of a first screen to a second display of a second screen, and a second window that is displayed on the second display to the first display;
- in response to receiving the pinch gesture one or more processors, moving the first window to the second display and the second window to the first display;
- and
- maintaining the focus on the first window on the second display.
A dual screen communication device, comprising:
- a gesture capture region to receive a gesture;
- and
- a first touch sensitive display;
- a second touch sensitive display;
- a computer readable medium that stores computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more of the gesture capture region, the first touch sensitive display, and the second touch sensitive display, a gesture indicating a request to swap positions of a first image displayed on the first touch sensitive display and a second image displayed on the second touch sensitive display;
- moving by at least one processor the first image to the second touch sensitive display, and the second image to the first touch sensitive display;
- and
- maintaining a focus on a one of the first image and the second image that has the focus prior to the receiving step.
