Method for indicating location and direction of a graphical user interface element

摘要

In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input at a first display surface of an electronic device to move a graphical user interface element displayed at the first display surface. The electronic device includes a second display surface separated from the first display surface by a gap. The method also includes determining that at least a portion of the graphical user interface element is to be moved beyond an edge of the first display surface into the gap such that the at least a portion of the graphical user element will not be displayed at the first display surface. The method further includes displaying the at least a portion of the graphical user interface element at the second display surface based on a location and a direction of movement of the graphical user interface element at the first display surface.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting a hardware configuration change from a first configuration to a second configuration of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising at least a first panel having a first display surface and a second panel having a second display surface, wherein the hardware configuration change includes a change in a relative orientation of the first panel to the second panel; modifying a graphical user interface displayed at the first display surface and the second display surface at least partially based on the second configuration; receiving a user input at the first display surface of the electronic device to move a graphical user interface element displayed at the first display surface, the second display surface of the electronic device separated from the first display surface by a gap; determining that at least a portion of the graphical user interface element is to be moved beyond an edge of the first display surface into the gap such that the at least a portion of the graphical user interface element will not be displayed at the first display surface; and displaying the at least a portion of the graphical user interface element at the second display surface based on a location and a direction of movement of the graphical user interface element at the first display surface such that a position of the at least a portion of the graphical user interface element at the second display surface is dependent on at least one of speed, simulated momentum, and simulated friction.
