Embodiment Construction

[0079] see figure 1 , depicts a first illustrated embodiment of an electronic device and generally designated 100 . The electronic device 101 includes a first panel 102 , a second panel 104 , and a third panel 106 . First panel 102 is coupled to second panel 104 along a first edge at first folded location 110 . The second panel 104 is coupled to the third panel 106 along a second edge of the second panel 104 at the second folded position 112 . Each of panels 102, 104, and 106 includes a display surface, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, configured to provide a visual display. The electronic device 101 is a wireless communication device that has multiple display surfaces and is configured to automatically adjust the user interface or display images when the user changes the physical configuration of the electronic device 101 .

[0080] Such as figure 1 As depicted in , the first panel 102 and the second panel 104 are rotatably coupled at the first folded posi...

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for displaying an image at an electronic device are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, an electronic device is disclosed that includes a first panel having a first display surface to display a graphical user interface element associated with an application. The electronic device also includes a second panel having a second display surface. The first display surface is separated from the second display surface by a gap. A processor is configured to execute program code including a graphical user interface. The processor is configured to launch or close the application in response to user input causing a movement of the graphical user interface element in relation to the gap.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 61 / 095,225, filed September 8, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and which claims priority from said Provisional Application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to multi-panel electronic devices, and more particularly to user interfaces for use with multi-panel electronic devices. Background technique [0004] Advances in technology have produced smaller and more powerful computing devices. For example, there currently exist a variety of portable personal computing devices, including wireless computing devices, such as portable wireless telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and paging devices that are small, lightweight, and easily carried by users. More specifically, portable wireless telephones, such as cellular telephones and Internet Protocol (IP) telephones, can communicate voi...
