Multi-display type device interactions

摘要

An electronic device including two or more display elements can provide enhanced functionality with improved rates of power consumption. A user can cause information that does not change rapidly to be provided or moved to a relatively static display element, such as an electronic ink display, which enables that information to be displayed for a period of time with little additional power consumption. Similarly, content (e.g., video) that changes rapidly can be displayed on a relatively dynamic display element, such as and LCD or OLED display. Each display can be touch sensitive, such that a user can move content between the displays by pressing on, or making a motion in contact with, at least one of the displays. Various modes can be activated which cause certain types of content to be displayed on the dynamic and/or static display element.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of displaying content on an electronic device, comprising:
under control of one or more computing systems configured with executable instructions,
determining a type of content to be displayed on the electronic device, the electronic device including first and second display elements on opposing sides of the electronic device, the first and second display elements each having at least one different display characteristic, wherein the first display element is configured to display, at least in part, substantially dynamic content and the second display element is configured to display, at least in part, substantially static content, and wherein each of the first and second display elements is at least partially touch sensitive;based at least in part upon the type of content and the at least one different display characteristic of each of the first and second display elements, causing at least a portion of the content to be displayed on a determined one of the first and second display elements; andin response to input from a user of the electronic device, causing at least the portion of the content to be displayed on the other of the first and second display elements, the electronic device including at least one touch sensitive element proximally located to a casing of the electronic device, the input including a touch gesture detected on the casing to drag the at least the portion of the content from the first display element to the second display element via the casing.
