Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for automatically configuring a mobile device. A mobile device can include a touch sensitive display, a processor, and a plurality of sensors to collect sensor data associated with the mobile device. The mobile device may establish an orientation of the mobile device relative to a user of the mobile device based on the sensor data. The mobile device may then determine a usage context for the mobile device based at least on the established orientation of the mobile device relative to the user. Furthermore, the mobile device may configure one or more components of the mobile device based on the determined usage context.
Claims23
A system for automatically configuring a mobile device, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors to collect sensor data associated with the mobile device;
- a touch sensitive display;
- a second display disposed on the mobile device opposite the touch sensitive display, wherein the touch sensitive display is a primary display;
- and
- a processor coupled with the plurality of sensors, the touch sensitive display, and the second display to
- establish an orientation of the mobile device relative to a user of the mobile device based on the sensor data,
- determine a usage context for the mobile device based at least on the established orientation of the mobile device relative to the user,
- configure one or more components of the mobile device based on the determined usage context, and
- apply different configurations to the primary display and the second display based on the established usage context, wherein the determined usage context for the mobile device comprises an intended usage of the second display, and wherein the processor is configured to disable touch sensing on the primary display.

- display a first data on the second display when the determined usage context indicates the user is viewing the touch sensitive display, and
- display a second data on the second display when the determined usage context indicates the user is viewing the second display.
A method for automatically configuring a mobile device having a primary touch sensitive display and a second display disposed on the mobile device opposite the primary touch sensitive display, comprising:
- collecting sensor data associated with the mobile device from a plurality of sensors;
- establishing an orientation of the mobile device relative to a user of the mobile device based on the sensor data;
- determining a usage context for the mobile device based at least on the established orientation of the mobile device relative to the user;
- configuring one or more components of the mobile device based on the determined usage context;
- and
- applying different configurations to the primary touch sensitive display and the second display based on the established usage context, wherein the determined usage context for the mobile device comprises an intended usage of the second display, and wherein a configuration applied to the primary touch sensitive display comprises disabling touch sensing on the primary touch sensitive display.

- displaying a first data on the second display when the determined usage context indicates the user is viewing the primary touch sensitive display, and
- displaying a second data on the second display when the determined usage context indicates the user is viewing the second display.
At least one non-transitory machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out a method for automatically configuring a mobile device having a primary touch sensitive display and a second display disposed on the mobile device opposite the primary touch sensitive display, comprising:
- collecting sensor data associated with the mobile device from a plurality of sensors;
- establishing an orientation of the mobile device relative to a user of the mobile device based on the sensor data;
- determining a usage context for the mobile device based at least on the established orientation of the mobile device relative to the user;
- configuring one or more components of the mobile device based on the determined usage context;
- and
- applying different configurations to the primary touch sensitive display and the second display based on the established usage context, wherein the determined usage context for the mobile device comprises an intended usage of the second display, and wherein a configuration applied to the primary touch sensitive display comprises disabling touch sensing on the primary touch sensitive display.
