METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING DISPLAY DIRECTION OF CONTENT

摘要

One embodiment provides a system that facilitates control of the display direction of content on a device. During operation, the system receives, by a client computing device, a first command to lock a state of a display for the device. The system sets a current display state to a locked state. In response to receiving a second command to terminate the first command, the system sets the current display state to a state that is the display state prior to receiving the first command. The system detects a change in a position of the device. In response to determining that the current display state is an unlocked state, the system changes a display direction for content displayed on the device. In response to determining that the current display state is the locked state, the system refrains from changing the display direction for content displayed on the device.
