Orienting displayed elements relative to a user

A method for orienting elements displayed on a display component of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• capturing a first image of a user of an electronic device that has a display component;
• based on the captured first image of the user of the electronic device, determining an initial orientation of the electronic device relative to the user of the electronic device;
• before displaying an element on a display component of the electronic device, determining an initial orientation for displaying the element relative to the display component of the electronic device based on the determined initial orientation of the electronic device relative to the user of the electronic device;
• displaying the element on the display component of the electronic device with the determined initial orientation for displaying the element relative to the display component;
• detecting a movement of the electronic device with a set of one or more images by processing the set of one or more images using a first processing type;
• and
• based on a captured second image and in response to detecting the movement, determining a subsequent orientation for displaying the element relative to the display component of the electronic device by processing the captured second image using a second processing type.

A method for orienting elements displayed on a display component of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• displaying one or more elements on a display component of an electronic device;
• detecting a movement of the electronic device with a set of one or more images, the detecting comprising processing the set of one or more images using a first processing type;
• in response to detecting the movement, monitoring orientation of the electronic device relative to a user based on one or more captured images of the user of the electronic device, the monitoring comprising processing the one or more captured images using a second processing type;
• and
• controlling display on the display component of at least one of the displayed elements based on results of monitoring the orientation of the electronic device relative to the user.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for initially displaying one or more elements at an electronic device;
• means for detecting a movement of the electronic device with a set of one or more images after initially displaying the one or more elements, the means for detecting comprising means for processing the set of one or more images using a first processing type;
• means for determining, in response to detecting movement, an orientation of the electronic device relative to a user of the electronic device, the means for determining comprising means for processing a captured image using a second processing type;
• and
• means for adjusting an orientation of at least one of the displayed elements based on the determined orientation of the electronic device relative to the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:

• initially display one or more elements on a display component of an electronic device;
• after initially displaying the one or more elements on the display component of the electronic device, detect a movement of the electronic device with a set of one or more images by processing the set of one or more images using a first processing type;
• in response to detecting the movement, determine an orientation of the electronic device relative to a user by processing a captured image using a second processing type;
• and
• based on the determined orientation of the electronic device relative to the user, adjust an orientation of at least one of the displayed elements relative to the display component of the electronic device.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a processing unit communicatively coupled with the display and configured to:
• cause the display to initially display one or more elements;
• after initially displaying the one or more elements on the display, use a set of one or more images to determine the electronic device has been moved by processing the set of one or more images using a first processing type;
• in response to determining the electronic device has been moved, determine an orientation of the electronic device relative to a user by processing a captured image using a second processing type;
• and
• based on the determined orientation of the electronic device relative to the user, adjust an orientation of at least one of the displayed elements relative to the display.
