Methods and Electronic Devices for Moving Content Presented on a Display as a Function of Device Geometry and Support Condition

An electronic device, comprising:

• a deformable housing comprises a plurality of linkage members;
• a flexible display supported by the deformable housing;
• one or more sensors operable to determine a wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration of the electronic device;
• one or more other sensors operable to detect when the electronic device changes orientation in three-dimensional space occurring from a rotation about a central axis of the wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration;
• and
• one or more processors operable with the one or more sensors and the one or more other sensors, the one or more processors operable to cause a content presentation on the flexible display to move from a first location on the wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration to a second location on the wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration that is different from the first location as a function of the changes in the orientation of the electronic device in the three-dimensional space while the electronic device is in the wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration;
• wherein the changes in the orientation of the electronic device comprise a rotation about a central axis of the wrapped, wrist-worn geometric configuration.

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• detecting, with at least a first sensor, a deformable device housing of the electronic device being transitioned to a wrapped geometry about a wrist;
• detecting, with at least a second sensor, a rotational and/or lifting operation of the electronic device in three-dimensional space;
• and
• in response to the at least a first sensor detecting the wrapped geometry about the wrist and the at least a second sensor detecting the rotational and/or lifting operation, causing, with one or more processors, content presented on a flexible display supported by the deformable device housing to move from a first portion facing in a first direction to a second portion facing a second direction that is angularly displaced around the wrapped geometry.
