Abstract
Some examples include transitioning between an individual mode and a collaborative mode in response to an orientation change of a device. Further, some implementations include identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices (e.g., co-located devices) in the collaborative mode. In some examples, the individual mode may be associated with an individual search, the collaborative mode may be associated with a collaborative search, and the devices may transition between the individual mode and the collaborative mode in response to orientation changes.
Claims1
A method comprising:
- under control of one or more processors:
- detecting an orientation change of a device from a first orientation to a second orientation, wherein the first orientation is associated with an individual mode and the second orientation is associated with a collaborative mode;
- in response to detecting the orientation change of the device:
- transitioning the device to the collaborative mode;
- and
- identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices in the collaborative mode.
