Abstract

Embodiments are described for displaying charging status on a multi-screen device. In embodiments, a determination is made that the device is connected to a power source for charging the battery. In response to the determination, a battery charging indicator is displayed. In some embodiments, if the device was originally powered off or in a standby mode, after a predetermined period of time, the device will be powered off or returned to the standby mode, and the battery charging indicator will no longer be displayed.

Claims (42)

1 . A method, comprising:

determining by at least one processor of a multi-screen device that the multi-screen device has been connected to a power source for charging a battery of the multi-screen device, wherein the multi-screen device comprises a first screen and a second screen; and

in response to the determining, displaying by the at least one processor on at least one of the first screen and the second screen a battery charging indicator.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the multi-screen device is in a stand-by mode, the method further comprising:

after the determining step, the at least one processor activating the at least one of the first screen or the second screen.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

after the displaying step, returning the multi-screen device to stand-by mode after a first predetermined period of time.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the multi-screen device is powered on, the method further comprising:

in response to the determining step, generating an audio signal.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:

determining that a multi-screen device has been connected to a power source for charging a battery of the multi-screen device when the multi-screen device is in a stand-by mode, wherein the multi-screen device comprises a first screen and a second screen;

in response to the determining step, activating at least one of the first screen or the second screen;

displaying on the at least one of the first screen and the second screen a battery charging indicator; and

after the displaying step, returning the multi-screen device to stand-by mode after a first predetermined period of time.

11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:

highlighting a portion of the at least one of the first screen and the second screen while the multi-screen device is connected to the power source.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein in response to the determining step and when the multi-screen is in a closed position, activating the first screen.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining that the multi-screen device has been disconnected from the power source.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the battery charging indicator is displayed until the determining that the multi-screen device has been disconnected from the power source.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:

displaying on at least one of the first screen and the second screen, an estimated time until full charging of the battery.

17 . A dual screen communication device, comprising:

a first touch sensitive display on a first screen;

a second touch sensitive display on a second screen;

a computer readable medium that stores computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:

determining that the dual screen communication device has been connected to a power source for charging a battery of the dual screen communication device while the dual screen communication device is powered on;

in response to the determining:

displaying on the first touch sensitive display a battery charging indicator; and

generating an audio signal.

18 . The device of claim 17 , wherein the battery charging indicator is displayed in an update notification bar.

19 . The device of claim 17 , further comprising:

highlighting a portion of the first screen while the dual screen device is connected to the power source.
