Abstract

Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface after waking from a stand-by mode. More particularly, the method includes a device entering a stand-by mode while in a first orientation or state. While in the stand-by mode, the device changes orientation or state. The device can determine the new orientation or state upon waking and provide the appropriate display for the new orientation or state.

Claims (54)

1 . A method, comprising:

providing a device having at least first and second screens, wherein the device is in a first orientation;

providing, on at least one of the first or second screens, a first display based on the first orientation;

entering into a stand-by mode;

receiving an input to wake the device from the stand-by mode;

upon waking but before providing any display on the first or second screen, determining a second orientation of the device, the second orientation being different from the first orientation; and

in response to the determining of the second orientation of the device, providing, on at least one of the first or second screens, a second display based on the second orientation.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the device changes from the first orientation to the second orientation while in the stand-by mode.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first display has a first configuration associated with the first orientation.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the second display has a second configuration associated with the second orientation.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first and second displays are different.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in a closed state, further comprising:

determining that the second orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state; and

providing a dual screen landscape display after waking.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in a closed state, further comprising:

determining that the second orientation is a portrait orientation in an open state; and

providing a dual screen portrait display after waking.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state, further comprising:

determining that the second orientation is a portrait orientation in an open state; and

providing a dual screen portrait display after waking.

9 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the device enters the stand-by mode after a predetermined time of inactivity.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the input to wake the device is a user interface input.

11 . A device, comprising:

a first screen, the first screen including a first gesture capture region, wherein the device is in a first orientation;

a second screen, wherein the second screen faces an opposite direction from the first screen when the device is closed, and wherein an image capture lens is associated with the second screen;

a memory;

a processor in communication with the memory, the first screen, and the second screen, the processor operable to:

provide, on at least one of the first or second screens, a first display based on the first orientation;

enter into a stand-by mode;

receive an input to wake the device from the stand-by mode;

on waking but before providing any display on the first or second screen, determine a second orientation of the device, the second orientation being different from the first orientation; and

in response to the determining of the second orientation of the device, provide, on at least one of the first or second screens, a second display based on the second orientation.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the device has a second orientation after waking, wherein the device provides the first display associated with a first orientation before entering the stand-by mode, wherein the device provides the second display associated with the second orientation, and wherein the first and second displays are different.

13 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in a closed state, the processor further operable to:

determine that the second orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state; and

provide a dual screen landscape display after waking.

14 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state, the processor further operable to:

determine that the second orientation is a portrait orientation in an open state; and

provide a dual screen portrait display after waking.

15 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the device enters the stand-by mode after a predetermined time of inactivity, and wherein the input to wake the device is a user interface input.

16 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing a processor of a device having at least first and second screens to execute a method for providing a user interface, wherein the device is in a first orientation, the computer-executable instructions comprising:

instructions to provide, on at least one of the first or second screens, a first display based on the first orientation;

instructions to enter into a stand-by mode;

instructions to receive an input to wake the device from the stand-by mode;

on waking but before providing any display on the first or second screens, instructions to determine a second orientation of the device, the second orientation being different from the first orientation; and

in response to the determining of the second orientation of the device, instructions to provide, on at least one of the first or second screens, a second display based on the second orientation.

17 . The computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first and second displays are different.

18 . The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in a closed state, further comprising instructions to:

determine that the second orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state; and

provide a dual screen landscape display after waking.

19 . The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the first orientation is a landscape orientation in an open state, further comprising instructions to:

determine that the second orientation is a portrait orientation in an open state; and

provide a dual screen portrait display after waking.

20 . The computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the device enters the stand-by mode after a predetermined time of inactivity, and wherein the input to wake the device is a user interface input.
