This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455557 titled 'SPLITTING A MOBILE DEVICE DISPLAY AND MAPPING CONTENT WITH SINGLE HAND

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an embodiment for splitting a mobile device display based on user input and displaying content accordingly. Here are the key points:

  • The embodiment receives configuration criteria from the user regarding display splitting and content mapping.
  • It identifies the locations of the user's fingers on the mobile device frame.
  • If the user is moving their first finger in a certain direction, the embodiment creates multiple split displays on the device.
  • It also identifies the contextual situation of the user.
  • The embodiment displays multiple content items adjacent to the user's second finger.
  • It maps the content items to the split displays based on user preferences.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Multi-tasking on mobile devices, allowing users to view and interact with multiple apps simultaneously.
  • Enhanced productivity by providing a larger screen real estate for different tasks.
  • Improved user experience by customizing the display layout based on user preferences and contextual information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited screen space on mobile devices can make it challenging to multitask effectively.
  • Users may have specific preferences for how they want their content displayed on the screen.
  • Switching between different apps or content can be time-consuming and disrupt the workflow.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased efficiency and productivity by enabling users to view and interact with multiple content simultaneously.
  • Customizable display layout based on user preferences and contextual information.
  • Improved user experience by reducing the need for constant switching between different apps or content.
