Abstract

An information processing device includes a foldable display mechanism including a first display device and a second display device, and a processor configured to, in a case where provision information is proposed by an artificial intelligence assistant while a first image is being displayed in a display region assigned to a first application program on the first display device, execute a display control for displaying a second image indicating the provision information on the second display device.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a foldable display mechanism including a first display device having a first display region displayed on a surface of two display bodies of the foldable display mechanism in an unfolded state and which is capable of being completely hidden from view in a folded state and a second display device having a second display region being at a back side of one of the two display bodies and which is capable of being completely visible when the first display device is in the folded state;

a sensor is configured to:

identify the folded state and the unfolded state of the foldable display mechanism;

and a processor configured to in a case the sensor identifies the foldable display mechanism is unfolded, where a provision information is proposed by an artificial intelligence assistant, while a first image is being displayed in the first display region assigned to a first application program on the first display device, prepare a notification indicating that the provision information exists, control the second display device to display a second image representative of the notification in response to a flipping-over or folding action on the mechanism by a user of the first application program, and control the first display device to display a third image corresponding to the provision information in the first display region in response to an instruction by the user, wherein the provision information refers to information generated by the artificial intelligence assistant and provided to the user based on user input on the first application program.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the second display device has a display area equal to or less than a display area of the first display device.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the second display device to display the second image in a case where the second display device is not pointed toward a user of the information processing device.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the notification is a process of displaying, on top of the first image being displayed on the first display device, an image indicating that the provision information exists, wherein the image is smaller than the second image.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case where an amount of the provision information is a threshold value or less, the second image is displayed on the second display device, whereas in a case where the amount of the provision information is greater than the threshold value, the second image is displayed on the first display device.

6. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

in a case where an amount of the provision information is a threshold value or less, the second image is displayed on the second display device, whereas in a case where the amount of the provision information is greater than the threshold value, the second image is displayed on the first display device.

7. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

in a case of displaying the second image on the first display device, an image indicating a display content of the first image is displayed on the second display device.

8. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein

in a case of displaying the second image on the first display device, an image indicating a display content of the first image is displayed on the second display device.

9. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

in a case where the amount of the provision information is greater than the threshold value, a query image asking the user whether or not to display the provision information on the first display device is displayed on the second display device, and if the user instructs the query image to display the provision information on the first display device, the second image is displayed on the first display device.

10. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein

in a case where the amount of the provision information is greater than the threshold value, a query image asking the user whether or not to display the provision information on the first display device is displayed on the second display device, and if the user instructs the query image to display the provision information on the first display device, the second image is displayed on the first display device.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer provided with a sensor, and a foldable display mechanism including a first display device having a first display region displayed on a surface of two display bodies of the foldable display mechanism in an unfolded state and which is capable of being completely hidden from view in a folded state and a second display device having a second display region being at a back side of one of the two display bodies and which is capable of being completely visible when the first display device is in the folded state to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

identifying the folded state and the unfolded state of the foldable display mechanism;

and in a case the sensor identifies the foldable display mechanism is unfolded, where a provision information is proposed by an AI assistant, while a first image is being displayed in a the first display region assigned to a first application program on the first display device, preparing a notification indicating that the provision information exists, controlling the second display device to display a second image representative of the notification in response to a flipping-over or folding action on the mechanism by a user of the first application program, and control the first display device to display a third image corresponding to the provision information in the first display region in response to an instruction by the user, wherein the provision information refers to information generated by the artificial intelligence assistant and provided to the user based on user input on the first application program.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the second display device has a display area equal to or less than a display area of the first display device.
