Patent number: 10942696Abstract: A computing system is provided, including a first display device having a first hardware configuration including a first display and a second display device having a second hardware configuration different from the first hardware configuration and including a second display. The computing system may further include a processor configured to receive an input including instructions to launch an application program on the first display device. The application program may include application program hardware specifications indicating hardware used by the application program. Based on the first hardware configuration, the second hardware configuration, and the application program hardware specifications, the processor may be further configured to determine that the second hardware configuration matches the application program hardware specifications more closely than the first hardware configuration. The processor may be further configured to launch the application program on the second display device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Michael Sadak, Mario Emmanuel Maltezos, Adolfo Hernandez Santisteban, John Benjamin Hesketh, Donna Katherine Long, Timothy D. Kviz, Arthur Charles Tomlin, Jeffrey R. Sipko

Patent number: 10606540Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of making a state-based determination of information to be displayed on a screen region of a hinge that is coupled to other screen regions. For instance, a state of a hinge that is coupled between a first screen region and a second screen region may be determined. Information that is to be displayed on a third screen region that is provided on the hinge may be determine based at least in part on the state of the hinge.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Roger Sebastian Sylvan, Aaron M. Burns, Kenneth L. Kiemele, Charlene Mary Jeune, Christian Sadak, John B. Hesketh, Jeffrey R. Sipko, Christian Klein, Gregg R. Wygonik, Sophors Khut, Michael R. Thomas, Ricardo Arturo Espinoza Reyes

Patent number: 10567630Abstract: To address issues of capturing and processing images, a mobile computing device is provided. The mobile computing device may include a two-part housing coupled by a hinge, with first and second parts that include first and second displays, respectively. The hinge may permit the displays to rotate throughout a plurality of angular orientations. The mobile computing device may include one or more sensor devices, processor, first camera, and second camera mounted in the housing. The one or more sensor devices may be configured to measure the relative angular displacement of the housing, and the processor may be configured to process images captured by the first and second cameras according to a selected function based upon the relative angular displacement measured by the one or more sensor devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Bryant Daniel Hawthorne, Mario Emmanuel Maltezos, Christian Michael Sadak, John Benjamin Hesketh, Andrew Austin Jackson, Adolfo Hernandez Santisteban, Kenneth Liam Kiemele, Charlene Jeune, Jeffrey R.

Publication number: 20180329521Abstract: To address the issues of presentation display, a mobile computing device is provided. The mobile computing device may include a two-part housing coupled by a hinge, with first and second parts that include first and second displays, respectively. The displays may rotate around the hinge throughout a plurality of angular orientations. The mobile computing device may include an angle sensor, one or more inertial measurement units, and a processor mounted in the housing. The angle sensor may detect a relative angular orientation of the first and second displays, and the inertial measurement unit may measure a spatial orientation of the device, which together define a posture of the device. The processor may be configured to execute an application program and, based on the posture of the device, select a display mode of the application program that defines a layout of graphical user interface elements displayed on the displays.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Benjamin HESKETH, Mario Emmanuel MALTEZOS, Kenneth Liam KIEMELE, Aaron D.
