Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling a user of data-sharing applications executing on a computing device to indirectly exchange objects between the applications by adding objects from the applications to a journal application that manages a display area. The objects are displayed in the display area. The journal application collects metadata related to the objects and automatically curates lists of the objects according to the metadata. Curation of a list may involve moving objects into a list, merging objects, creating new objects out of content of existing objects, grouping objects according to a commonality thereof, etc. Machine learning services may be invoked to acquire additional metadata about the objects and to make curation decisions.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A mobile computing device is provided that comprises a housing having a first part and a second part coupled by a hinge, the first part including a first display and the second part including a second display, wherein the hinge is configured to permit the first and second displays to rotate between angular orientations from a face-to-face angular orientation to a back-to-back angular orientation. The mobile computing device further includes a camera mounted in the first part of the housing and configured to capture image data, the camera and the first display both facing a first direction, and a processor mounted in the housing. In the back-to-back angular orientation, the processor is configured to cause the second display to display the image data while simultaneously causing the first display to display the image data and secondary content.

Abstract: A hinged multi-screen computing device is provided that includes a housing having first and second parts coupled by a hinge, each part including a display, a sensor mounted in the housing and configured to detect a hinge angle between the first and second parts, and processor configured to render and display a three-dimensional representation of a virtual object on the first display, the three-dimensional view of the virtual object being rendered based upon the detected hinge angle.

Abstract: 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.
