Patent number: 8665215Abstract: A multi-screen user device and methods for controlling data displayed thereby are disclosed. Specifically, a gesture sequence is disclosed which enables a user to toggle or shift though applications that are displayed by the multi-screen user device. The gesture sequence may correspond to various rotation or partial rotations of the multi-screen user device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Z124Inventors: Rodney Wayne Schrock, Martin Gimpl, Sanjiv Sirpal, John Steven Visosky

Patent number: 8659565Abstract: A multi-display device is adapted to be dockable or otherwise associatable with an additional device. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, the multi-display device is dockable with a smartpad. The exemplary smartpad can include a screen, a touch sensitive display, a configurable area, a gesture capture region(s) and a camera. The smartpad can also include a port adapted to receive the device. The exemplary smartpad is able to cooperate with the device such that information displayable on the device is also displayable on the smartpad. Furthermore, any one or more of the functions on the device are extendable to the smartpad, with the smartpad capable of acting as an input/output interface or extension of the smartpad. Therefore, for example, information from one or more of the displays on the multi-screen device is displayable on the smartpad.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Z124Inventors: Sanjiv Sirpal, Martin Gimpl, John Steven Visosky

Patent number: 8599106Abstract: A multi-screen user device and methods for logically controlling the display behavior of applications and other displayable data are disclosed. Specifically, when a dual-screen application is displayed to the primary and secondary screens of a device the dual-screen application can be minimized to a single screen by closing the device. When the device is reopened, the minimized dual-screen application is maintained in a minimized state on the screen to which it was minimized. Specific rules can be implemented to determine whether the dual-screen application will be maximized to run on the primary and secondary screens of a device upon reopening.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Z124Inventors: Martin Gimpl, Ron Cassar, John Steven Visosky

Patent number: 8588860Abstract: Embodiments are described for handling receipt of call in a multi-screen device. In embodiments, the device may be in a closed mode in which a primary screen is being used. A message regarding the incoming call is displayed on the primary screen to a user so that a user can decide whether to answer the call from the primary screen. If the device is being used in a closed secondary screen mode (with the user interacting with the secondary screen) when the call is received, a notice will be displayed to the user to turn the phone around to the primary screen so that the user can decide whether to answer the phone.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Z124Inventors: Sanjiv Sirpal, John Steven Visosky

Publication number: 20120084714Abstract: Systems and methods are provides for creating a window stack for a multi-screen device. The stack is an arrangement of an active window and at least one other active or inactive window for at least one of the two displays. The system can receive activation of a window in the device. Upon activation of the window, the system can determine a display associated with the active window and can determine a position in the window stack for the active window. Then, the system can generate a logic data structure for the active window to describe the position of the active window in the window stack.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: Imerj LLCInventors: Sanjiv Sirpal, Martin Gimpl, Ron Cassar, John Steven Visosky, Robert Csiki
