  • Publication number: 20220391078
    Abstract: Examples are related to operating a user interface of a dual-screen computing device. One example provides a computing device, comprising a first portion comprising a first display and a first touch sensor, and a second portion comprising a second display and a second touch sensor, the second portion connected to the first via a hinge, the hinge defining a seam between the first display and the second display. The computing device is configured to receive a touch input at the first display moving an application that is currently displayed on the first display and not on the second display toward the second display, detect the touch input releasing the application within a predetermined area, and span the application across the first display and the second display.

  • Publication number: 20210096715
    Abstract: A hinged mobile computing device may include a first touch screen and a second touch screen. A processor may recognize an engagement action on a virtual object displayed on one of the screens, lift the virtual object, move the virtual object in accordance with a recognized dragging action, and drop the virtual object at a target destination. Dropping the virtual object may insert the virtual object into an application program, share the virtual object to the application program or an operating system, open the virtual object in a new instance of an application program, or pin the virtual object to a predetermined location on one of the screens. In some embodiments, the virtual object may be flicked subsequent to the engagement action to share, open, or pin the virtual object.

  • Publication number: 20200150728
    Abstract: The description relates to devices that can include first and second portions. A virtual magnetic hinge assembly can rotationally secure the two portions yet a user can separate the device portions as desired. One example can include a first elongate magnetic hinge assembly encapsulated in a first end of the first portion and a second elongate magnetic hinge assembly encapsulated in a first end of the second portion. The first and second elongate magnetic hinge assemblies can bias the first ends together while allowing the first and second portions to be rotated through a range of rotations.
