Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided for managing the display of content on an electronic rollable device ( 600 ). According to certain aspects, the systems and methods facilitate communications and applications of a rollable device with a display screen interface. The device detects an interaction with the display screen interface by a user ( 605 ), such as the user grasping the device. From the interaction, the device identifies a position of the user's hand and, based on the position, a set of configuration settings, and/or other variables, determines a display region on the touchscreen to display a graphic ( 635 ) associated with the communications and applications. The device displays the graphic within the display region and receives and processes input from the user.
