    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.
