Abstract
The present disclosure provides techniques for automatically changing device display orientation. A computing device includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a camera to detect user eye position on a continuing basis, a display, memory, and at least one processor to execute machine-readable instructions to cause the at least one processor to: access data from the inertial measurement unit IMU; analyze IMU data for changes in an orientation of the electronic device; determine the user eye position in relation to the display; and orient the display in accordance with the orientation of the electronic device.
Claims11
An electronic device:
- an inertial measurement unit (IMU);
- a camera to detect user eye position on a continuing basis;
- a display;
- memory;
- and
- at least one processor to execute machine-readable instructions to cause the at least one processor to:
- access data from the inertial measurement unit IMU;
- analyze IMU data for changes in an orientation of the electronic device;
- determine the user eye position in relation to the display;
- and
- orient the display in accordance with the orientation of the electronic device.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- a camera to detect user eye position in relation to the display on a continuing basis;
- an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to detect changes in orientation of the electronic device;
- and
- a driver to change an orientation of content on the display when a change in orientation of the electronic device is detected by the IMU.
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine readable instruction that, when executed, cause a processor to:
- analyze IMU data from an inertial measurement unit for changes in a physical orientation of an electronic device;
- access a user eye position in relation to the device display, wherein the user eye position is detected by a camera on a continuing basis;
- and
- orient a display in accordance with the orientation and the user eye position.
