Abstract
Systems and methods are provides for adjusting focus during an orientation change. A full screen window has focus before the orientation change. After the device is oriented in the landscape orientation, the focus is maintained on the window. However, a configurable area associated with at least one screen that displays the full screen window is changed to display the configurable area on the screen that is at the top of the device.
Claims20
A computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions executable by a processor, the computer-executable instructions causing the processor to execute a method for changing focus in a multi-screen device, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
- instructions to establish focus on a window;
- instructions to determine a first configurable area to display;
- instructions to receive an orientation change;
- instructions to maintain focus on window;
- and
- instructions to change from the first configurable area to a second configurable area.
A device comprising:
- a first screen comprising:
- a first touch sensitive display;
- a first configurable area;
- a second screen comprising:
- a second touch sensitive display;
- a second configurable area;
- wherein a first window is a full screen window and is displayed across the first and the second touch sensitive display;
- a memory;
- a processor in communication with the memory and each of the at least two screens, the processor operable to:
- establish focus on the first window;
- determine to provide the first configurable area;
- receive an orientation change, wherein the orientation change changes the device from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation;
- maintain focus on the first window;
- and
- change from the first configurable area to a second configurable area.
A method for presenting a display for a multi-screen device, the method comprising:
- establishing focus on a first window while the multi-screen device is in a portrait orientation, wherein the first window is a full screen window;
- determining to provide a first configurable area;
- receiving an orientation change, wherein the orientation change changes the device from the portrait orientation to a landscape orientation;
- maintaining focus on the first window;
- and
- changing from the first configurable area to a second configurable area.
