Abstract
In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computing device includes a first member with a first display surface, and a second member rotatably connected to the first member, the second member including a second display surface. The computing device includes a sensor and a processor to receive readings from the sensor. Based on the sensor readings, the processor is to select either a privacy mode or a sharing mode for the first display surface, and either the privacy mode or the sharing mode for the second display surface.
Claims15
A computing device comprising:
- a first member comprising a first display surface;
- a second member rotatably connected to the first member, wherein the second member comprises a second display surface;
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor to:
- receive readings from the sensor;
- and
- based on the sensor readings, select either a privacy mode or a sharing mode for the first display surface, and either the privacy mode or the sharing mode for the second display surface.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising program instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the processor to:
- receive readings from a sensor of the computing device;
- based on the sensor readings:
- select either a privacy mode or a sharing mode for a first display surface of a first member of the computing device, and
- select either the privacy mode or the sharing mode for a second display surface of a second member of the computing device rotatably connected to the first member.
A method comprising:
- determining, via a first sensor of a computing device, an orientation of the computing device;
- determining, via a second sensor of the computing device, an opening angle between a first member of the computing device and a second member of the computing device rotatably connected to the first member;
- and
- based on the orientation and the opening angle, selecting either a privacy mode or a sharing mode for a first display surface of the first member, and either the privacy mode or the sharing mode for a second display surface of the second member.
