Abstract

A device includes two touch sensitive displays. Particular display device (e.g., balloons, pop-up windows, tooltips, etc.) can be displayed in the two touch sensitive displays. However, in some circumstances, presenting the display device may cause problems interfacing with or viewing data on the device. Thus, the device can determine if presenting the display device in a proposed location will cause difficulties for the user. If such difficulties are predicted, the device may move the display of the display device to the other touch sensitive display.

First claim

1 - 20 . (canceled)

21 . A method, comprising:
receiving, by a dual screen computational device having at least first and second screens, a user interface input on a first screen associated with a first application; determining, by a processor of the dual screen computational device, that a display device is associated with the user interface input; determining, by the processor of the dual screen computational device, if the display device can be displayed on the first screen, wherein determining if the display device can be displayed on the first screen comprises the dual screen computational device determining that at least one of the following is true: (i) the display device exceeds a predetermined size threshold; (ii) the display device, in a proposed location, will obscure one or more user interface elements or interactive elements that are currently in the proposed location; or (iii) the display device will obscure one or more items of displayed data; and if the display device cannot be displayed on the first screen because the dual screen computational device determines that at least one of (i), (ii) or (iii) is true, displaying, by the processor of the dual screen computational device, the display device on the second screen.

22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein (i) is true, wherein the display device is one of a tooltip, a mouseover, a balloon, a help instruction, or a pop-up window, and wherein the predetermined size threshold is based on the display device, wherein the processor of the dual screen computational device compares coordinates and/or pixels of the display device against coordinates and/or pixels of a size threshold to determine that (i) is true, wherein the size threshold does not overlap the first and second screens, and wherein the display device, based on a position determined by user interface input, does not overlap the first and second screens.

23 . The method of claim 21 , wherein (ii) is true and wherein determining if the display device can be displayed on the first screen comprises the processor determining if the display device will obscure one or more interactive elements, the interactive elements being selectable by a user to receive a user interface interaction.

24 . The method of claim 21 , wherein (iii) is true, wherein the display device is one of a tooltip, a mouseover, a balloon, a help instruction, or a pop-up window, wherein determining if the display device can be displayed on the first screen comprises the processor of the dual screen computational device determining if the display device will obscure one or more items of displayed data from a view of a user, and wherein the displayed data cannot receive a user interface interaction.

25 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the display device is displayed at a predetermined location on the second screen if one of the at least (i), (ii), or (iii) is true and wherein the predetermined location is related to a location on the first screen, wherein the second display faces an opposite direction from the first display when the dual display computational device is closed, wherein the dual screen computational device is oriented in a dual screen orientation, wherein the display device is a user interface element that provides information to a user, and wherein the display device is one or more of a tooltip, a mouseover, a balloon, a help instruction, and a popup window, and further comprising receiving, by the dual screen computational device, a second user interface input that is associated with the display device on the second screen, and determining, by the dual screen computational device, that the second user interface input is associated with the first application.

26 . (canceled)

27 . A dual display computational device, comprising:
a first display, the first display including a first gesture capture region; a second display, wherein an image capture lens is associated with the second display; a memory; a processor in communication with the memory, the first display, and the second display, the processor: receiving a user interface input on a first display associated with a first application; determining that a display device is associated with the user interface input; determining if the display device can be displayed on the first display, wherein the processor determining if the display device can be displayed on the first display comprises the processor determining that at least one of the following is true: (i) display device exceeds a predetermined size threshold; (ii) the display device, in a proposed location, will obscure one or more user interface elements or interactive elements that are currently in the proposed location; or (iii) the display device will obscure one or more items of displayed data; and if the display device cannot be displayed on the first display because the processor determines that at least one of (i), (ii) or (iii) is true, display the display device on the second display.

28 . The device of claim 27 , wherein (i) is true, wherein the display device is one or more of a tooltip, a mouseover, a balloon, a help instruction, and a popup window, wherein the size threshold does not overlap the first and second displays, wherein the display device, based on a position determined by user interface input, does not overlap the first and second displays, and wherein the size threshold is based on the display device.

29 . The device of claim 27 , wherein (ii) is true, wherein the display device is one or more of a tooltip, a mouseover, a balloon, a help instruction, and a popup window, and wherein determining if the display device can be displayed on the first display comprises determining if the display device will obscure one or more interactive elements, the interactive elements being selectable by a user to receive a user interface interaction.

30 . The device of claim 27 , wherein (iii) is true and wherein the processor determining if the display device can be displayed on the first display comprises determining if the display device will obscure one or more items of displayed data from a view of a user, wherein the displayed data cannot receive a user interface interaction, wherein the second display faces an opposite direction from the first display when the dual display computational device is closed, wherein the first and second displays are on first and second screens, respectively, wherein the processor compares coordinates and/or pixels of the display device is displayed in a predetermined location on the second display if one of the at least (i), (ii), or (iii) is true, wherein the predetermined location is related to a location on the first display, wherein the size threshold is predetermined and/or is based on a standard for the display device, and wherein the device is oriented in a dual display orientation.

31 . A non-transitory and tangible computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing a processor of a dual screen computational device to execute a method for providing a user interface, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
instructions to receive a user interface input on a first screen associated with a first application; instructions to determine that a display device is associated with the user interface input; instructions to determine if the display device can be displayed on the first screen, wherein determining if the display device can be displayed on the first screen comprises the processor determining that at least one of the following is true: (i) the display device exceeds a predetermined size threshold; (ii) the display device, in a propos
