  • Patent number: 11221759
    Abstract: A foldable computing device provides user interface (“UI”) transitions and optimizations while operating in a productivity mode. When the foldable computing device is operating in productivity mode, it can present a UI below a hardware keyboard placed over a display region and occluding only a top portion of the display region or a software keyboard presented in the display region occluding only the top portion of the display region. If the hardware keyboard or the software keyboard occlude only the bottom of the display region, a UI can be shown above the hardware keyboard or the software keyboard. The foldable computing device can adjust the position of UI windows that are occluded when the hardware or software keyboard is placed on the display region. The foldable computing device can move the UI windows back to their original positions if the hardware or software keyboard no longer occlude the display region.

  • Patent number: 10782802
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to user input. One example provides a method comprising receiving user inputs from a user input device, monitoring a touch-sensitive display device for detection of a presence of the user input device via the touch-sensitive display device, when the user input device is detected by the touch-sensitive display device, utilizing a first user input mode in which a first user interface is displayed on the touch-sensitive display device at a location based upon a location of the input device on the touch-sensitive display device, and when the user input device is not detected by the touch-sensitive display device, utilizing a second user input mode in which a second user interface is displayed at a location on the touch-sensitive display device not based upon a location of the input device.

  • Patent number: 10616528
    Abstract: A computing system includes a display and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a plurality of sensors distributed at respective locations relative to the display to detect a presence of a structural feature of a camera device. The computing system further includes a computing device that receives an output from one or more sensors of the sensor system indicative of the presence of the structural feature of the camera device. The computing device determines a location of the camera device relative to the display based on the output received from the one or more sensors. The computing device presents a graphical user interface (GUI) window for the camera device via the display at a location that is based on the location of the camera device.
