==CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT OPERATION IN HINGED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157417 titled 'CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT OPERATION IN HINGED DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a computing device with two displays and a camera, connected by a hinge. The device also includes sensors to detect the angle of the hinge and a logic device to process the sensor data. 

* The computing device has a first display and a second display connected by a hinge.
* The device also has a camera and sensors to detect the angle of the hinge.
* A logic device processes the sensor data and determines the position of the camera.
* When the camera is facing the world, the camera application is displayed on the first display.
* When the camera is facing the user, the camera application is displayed on the second display.

== Potential Applications ==
* This technology could be used in smartphones or tablets with dual displays and a camera.
* It could enable users to easily switch between using the camera to capture the world or to take selfies.
* The dual displays could also be used for multitasking, with one display showing the camera application and the other displaying other apps or content.

== Problems Solved ==
* This technology solves the problem of having to manually switch between using the camera to capture the world or to take selfies.
* It provides a convenient and intuitive way for users to switch between different camera modes without needing to navigate through menus or settings.

== Benefits ==
* Users can quickly and easily switch between using the camera to capture the world or to take selfies.
* The dual displays provide a more immersive and interactive camera experience.
* The hinge angle sensing mechanism ensures that the camera application is displayed on the appropriate display based on the device's pose.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

One example provides a computing device including a first portion including a first display, a second portion including a second display and a camera, the second portion connected to the first portion via a hinge, a hinge angle sensing mechanism including one or more sensors, a logic device, and a storage device holding instructions executable by the logic device to execute a camera application and to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, based at least in part on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors, determine a device pose, output the camera application to the first display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being world-facing, and output the camera application to the second display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being user-facing.
