  • Patent number: 11429203
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that are directed to automatically adjusting a user interface based on tilt position of a digital drawing board. The digital drawing board has a tiltable screen with a sensor. The tiltable screen may be fixed in a stable tilt position. A sensor is used to determine that the digital drawing board has a first tilt position. The digital drawing board displays a first user interface associated with the first tilt position. The first user interface may be associated with a first use mode. The first user interface may also be based on an application running on the digital drawing board. When the sensor senses that the digital drawing board has moved from the first tilt position to a second tilt position, it automatically displays a second user interface associated with a second tilt position. The second user interface has different functionality than the first user interface.

    Abstract: Augmented reality eyewear devices allow users to experience a version of our “real” physical world augmented with virtual objects. Augmented reality eyewear may present a user with a graphical user interface that appears to be in the airspace directly in front of the user thereby encouraging the user to interact with virtual objects in socially undesirable ways, such as by making sweeping hand gestures in the airspace in front of the user. Anchoring various input mechanisms or the graphical user interface of an augmented reality eyewear application to a wristwatch may allow a user to interact with an augmented reality eyewear device in a more socially acceptable manner. Combining the displays of a smartwatch and an augmented reality eyewear device into a single graphical user interface may provide enhanced display function and more responsive gestural input.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display such as an organic light-emitting diode display. The display may have an active area formed from an array of pixels with light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes may be formed from an organic layer containing emissive material between an anode layer and a cathode layer. Apertures may be formed in the active area of the display. The apertures may allow light to pass to light-sensitive components under the display. A polarizer may overlap the display and may have a bleached area that forms part of a camera aperture. Light may pass through the camera aperture to a camera under the display. The display may have an array of apertures that allow light to pass to a light-sensitive fingerprint sensor under the display.
