Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed An example apparatus to update a spatially adjustable display disclosed herein includes a display size monitor to acquire an indication of a size of the spatially adjustable display, a service image comparator to compare the indication of the size to a size model, and a source image adjuster to invoke visual configuration adjustments to an output image of the spatially adjustable display based on parameters identified in the size model.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a length marker carried by a rollable display screen, the length marker one of a plurality of length markers carried by the rollable display screen;

a sensor to sense a length of an unrolled portion of the rollable display screen based on the length marker;

memory including executable instructions; and

processor circuitry to execute the instructions to:

display a set of icons on the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen; and

in response to a reduction in size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen, increase a size of first ones of the set of icons

corresponding to first priority values, and decrease a size of second ones of the set of icons corresponding to second priority values, the first priority values greater than the second priority values, the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen including (a) resized versions of the first ones of the set of icons and (b) resized versions of the second ones of the set of icons.

2. The electronic device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of length markers are located at equally spaced positions along the rollable display screen.

3. The electronic device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is to increase the size of the second ones of the set of icons when the size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen increases.

4. The electronic device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is to remove the second ones of the set of icons when the size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen decreases.

5. A storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause processor circuitry to, at least:

sense a length of an unrolled portion of a rollable display screen based on a length marker, the length marker one of a plurality of length markers carried by the rollable display screen;

display a set of icons on the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen;

in response to a reduction in size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen, increase a size of first ones of the set of icons corresponding to first priority values and decrease a size of second ones of the set of icons corresponding to second priority values, the first priority values greater than the second priority values, the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen including (a) resized versions of the first ones of the set of icons and (b) resized versions of the second ones of the set of icons.

6. The storage device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to sense the length of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen based on the plurality of length markers being located at equally spaced positions along the rollable display screen.

7. The storage device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to increase the size of the second ones of the set of icons when the size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen increases.

8. The storage device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to remove the second ones of the set of icons when the size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen decreases.

9. A method comprising:

sensing, by executing an instruction with at least one processor, a length of an unrolled portion of a rollable display screen based on a length marker, the length marker one of a plurality of length markers carried by the rollable display screen;

displaying, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a set of icons on the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen;

in response to a reduction in size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen:

increasing a size of first ones of the set of icons corresponding to first priority values; and

decreasing a size of second ones of the set of icons corresponding to second priority values, the first priority values greater than the second priority values, the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen including (a) resized versions of the first ones of the set of icons and (b) resized versions of the second ones of the set of icons.

10. The method as defined in claim 9 , further including sensing the length of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen based on the plurality of length markers being located at equally spaced positions along the rollable display screen.

11. The method as defined in claim 9 , further including increasing the size of the second ones of the set of icons when the area of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen increases.

12. The method as defined in claim 9 , further including

removing the second ones of the set of icons when the size of the unrolled portion of the rollable display screen decreases.
