Abstract
A first view is rendered in a graphical user interface of a touch screen display, when a front face of the display, on which the graphical user interface is rendered, is positioned within a predefined angle range relative to vertical. The first view does not include an interactive keyboard. Thereafter, it is detected, by a position sensor that an angle of the front face of the display is beyond the predefined angle range. The graphical user interface then, in response to the detection of movement, automatically renders a second view that includes an interactive keyboard. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
Claims27
A method comprising:
- rendering, in a graphical user interface of a touch screen display, a first view when a front face of the display, on which the graphical user interface is rendered, is positioned within a predefined angle range relative to vertical, wherein the first view does not include an interactive keyboard;
- detecting, by a position sensor, that an angle of the front face of the display is beyond the predefined angle range;
- and
- automatically rendering, in the graphical user interface in response to the detecting, a second view that includes an interactive keyboard.
A method comprising:
- rendering, in a graphical user interface of a display, a view in the display having an associated and movable keyboard tray when the keyboard tray is in a first position;
- detecting, by a position sensor within the keyboard tray, a change in position of the keyboard tray relative to the first position beyond a predefined amount;
- and
- automatically initiating projection of a virtual keyboard on a surface of the keyboard tray in response to the detecting.
A method comprising:
- rendering, in a graphical user interface of a touch screen display, a first view when a front face of the display, on which the graphical user interface is rendered, is positioned vertically or within a predefined angle range relative to vertical, wherein the first view does not include a user input area;
- detecting, by at least one position sensor within or adjacent to the display, that an angle of the front face of the display is beyond the predefined angle range;
- and automatically rendering, in the graphical user interface in response to the detecting, a second view that includes a user input area.

(canceled)
A system comprising:
- a display comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one programmable data processor;
- memory;
- and
- a mounting arm comprising a position sensor that is secured, on a first end, to the housing, and is configured to be secured, on a second end, to a surface;
- wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one programmable data processor, implement a method comprising:
- rendering, in a graphical user interface of a touch screen display, a first view when a front face of the display, on which the graphical user interface is rendered, is positioned within a predefined angle range relative to vertical, wherein the first view does not include an interactive keyboard;
- detecting, by a position sensor, that an angle of the front face of the display is beyond the predefined angle range;
- and
- automatically rendering, in the graphical user interface in response to the detecting, a second view that includes an interactive keyboard.
