Changing Locked Modes Associated with Display of Computer-Generated Content - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200552 titled 'Changing Locked Modes Associated with Display of Computer-Generated Content
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method performed on an electronic device with processors, memory, and a display.
- The method involves displaying computer-generated content on the display in a first locked mode.
- The device detects a change in distance between the device and a physical surface.
- If the second distance meets a locked mode change criterion, the display of the computer-generated content is changed to a second locked mode.
- If the second distance does not meet the locked mode change criterion, the display remains in the first locked mode.
- Examples of the locked mode change criterion include an occlusion criterion and a remoteness criterion.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes, while displaying, on the display, the computer-generated content according to a first locked mode, determining that the electronic device changes from a first distance to a physical surface to a second distance from the physical surface. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the second distance satisfies a locked mode change criterion, changing display of the computer-generated content from the first locked mode to a second locked mode. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the second distance does not satisfy the locked mode change criterion, maintaining display of the computer-generated content according to the first locked mode. Examples of the locked mode change criterion include an occlusion criterion and a remoteness criterion.
