Abstract:
A mobile computing device is provided that includes a processor, an accelerometer, two or more display devices, and a housing including the processor, the accelerometer, and the two or more display devices, determine a current user focus indicating that a first display device of the pair of display devices is being viewed by the user, and that a second display device of the pair of display devices is not being viewed by the user, detect a signature gesture input based on accelerometer data received via the accelerometer detecting that the mobile computing device has been rotated more than a threshold degree, determine that the current user focus has changed from the first display device to the second display device based on at least detecting the signature gesture input, and perform a predetermined action based on the current user focus.
