Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a personalizable user interface (UI) component layout on a curved screen on a mobile electronic communication device, the curved screen having a front screen display surface and a plurality of edge screen display surfaces. In an example, the described technique entails detecting that a device user has opened an application on the mobile electronic communication device, determining whether the application opened by the user supports placement of UI components on edge screen display surfaces, and determining a coverage area on the front screen display surface and the edge screen display surfaces areas when the application supports placement of UI components on edge screen display surfaces, and estimating a user hand size based on the determined coverage area, and placing one or more UI components on an edge screen display surface to be reached by the user based on the estimated hand size.

Abstract: Systems and methods of managing notifications on a curved display surface of a mobile electronic communications device are provided, wherein the curved display surface includes a front screen area and lateral edge screen areas. A notification is obtained and a holding direction of the device is detected. If the holding direction does not allow display of the notification on the lateral edge screen areas, it is displayed on the front screen area. If the holding direction allows display of the notification on the lateral edge screen areas, it is displayed on an uncovered edge screen area facing the user if the user is in a known direction. Otherwise, the notification is displayed on all edge screen areas. If the one or more edge screens are partially covered, the notification is displayed on the edge screen area having the least coverage.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying content on a mobile electronic communications device having a curved display surface that includes a front screen area and a plurality of edge screen areas. By way of example, the described techniques may entail determining whether the content is suitable for display on both the front screen area and the plurality of edge screen areas, displaying unsuitable content only on the front screen area and displaying suitable content on both the front screen area and the plurality of edge screen areas when the plurality of edge screen areas are unobstructed, and otherwise, displaying the suitable content on only the front screen area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing notifications on a mobile electronic communication device having a front screen display surface and a plurality of edge screen display surfaces when the mobile electronic communication device is located on a flat surface. By way of example, a technique entails determining whether the mobile electronic communication device is positioned face down, displaying the notification on the front screen display surface when the mobile electronic communication device is not face down, and otherwise, if the user lies in a particular edge direction relative to the mobile electronic communication device, displaying the notification on at least one of the plurality of the edge screen display surfaces visible to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing a flashlight function on a mobile electronic communications device having a curved display surface that includes a front screen area, one or more edge screen areas and a back flashlight. By way of example, the disclosed technique entails detecting that the user has turned on the flashlight function, determining whether the back flashlight is facing toward the user, and enabling the back flashlight when it is determined that the back flashlight is not facing toward the user. When it is determined that the back flashlight is facing toward the user, a flashlight on a screen edge facing away from the user is enabled.
