When the two electronic devices are connected (e.g., wired or wireless connection), a determination is made as to whether a contextual state of at least one of the electronic devices (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) indicates that a virtual view of the electronic device is to be displayed by the other electronic device. The contextual state may include, for example, whether the displays of the two electronic devices are spatially aligned, whether the one electronic device is upside down, whether a display of the one electronic device is turned off, and so forth. The virtual view of the electronic device is a display of the user interface of the electronic device, allowing a user to interact with the electronic device via the virtual view of the electronic device.

Virtual view of a device based on device contextual state

An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic device that is typically a computing device (e.g., a mobile device such as a laptop or a non-mobile device such as a desktop computer or workstation), allowing the electronic devices to be used together. This connection can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. When the electronic device and the computing device are connected, and optionally also when a universal control mode is activated, the electronic device automatically operates in a non-gesture-based input style, allowing a single input control device (e.g., a trackpad on a laptop) to control user input for both devices.

An electronic device and method are disclosed for managing content on a foldable device with a flexible display. The method includes detecting, with sensors, a partially deformed geometric form factor defined by a first device housing pivoted about a hinge relative to a second device housing between an open and closed position. The method further includes presenting, with processors, first content on a display portion of the first device housing and second content on another display portion of the second device housing. Additionally, the method involves detecting, with other sensors, movement of a person viewing the content within the environment of the electronic device. When the movement meets a predefined criterion, the method includes moving the first content to the second display portion and the second content to the first display portion. This approach enhances the user experience by dynamically adjusting content presentation based on user movement.

An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product provides freeze frame videos in place of a live video feed or a low-quality video feed to a video communication session. The electronic device hosts the video communication session between a first participant device and second participant devices. The electronic device receives, from the first participant device, a first video feed of a first participant to the video communication session. The electronic device determines a video segment of the received first video feed to identify as the first freeze frame video, generates the first freeze frame video from the video segment, and stores the first freeze frame video within a server repository. In response to a trigger condition, the electronic device temporarily presents to the video communication session the first freeze frame video in place of the first video feed as video content from the first participant device.

Techniques for personalized product recommendations based on an itinerary are described and are implementable to generate a recommendation for a good and/or service based on product data associated with a destination. The described implementations, for instance, enable generation of a recommendation for a user to acquire the good and/or service prior to visiting the destination based on digital content associated with the destination. The described implementations further enable generation of synthetic digital content that depicts the user at the destination with the good and/or service. Additionally, the techniques described herein include a monitoring system that is operable to detect a development related to the destination, and generate an updated recommendation based on the development.

Personalized product recommendations based on an itinerary

An electronic device included a first energy storage device coupled to a second energy storage device by a conductor. A thermal mitigation circuit, or alternatively, one or more processors, determine whether to draw more current from the first energy storage device or the second energy storage device as a function of a geometric configuration of the electronic device and a support condition of the electronic device. Current can be drawn from the second energy storage device situated in the second device housing, for example, when the electronic device is hand supported by the first device housing unless secondary factors exist. When charging states of the first energy storage device and/or second energy storage device are too low to do this, the one or more processors can present a prompt on the user interface instructing the user to turn the device over.

In aspects of input device-initiated application activation, a media server detects initiation of an input device based on a monitoring of a set of one or more input devices that include the input device. In response to the initiation of the input device, the media server activates a streaming of an application to a display device connected to the media server. The media server restricts use of the display device to the input device while the application remains active on the display device.

Input device-initiated application activation

An electronic device, method, and computer program product imitate a typewriter. A top horizontal row of a virtual typing sheet is presented on an upper portion of an extendable display. Keystrokes received by a text input device are monitored and corresponding characters are presented across the top horizontal row of virtual typing sheet. In response to a next line transitioning condition (e.g., reaching an end of a current row or detection of a return keystroke received via the text input device), the extendable display is triggered to upwardly extend by an increment corresponding to vertical dimensions of a line spacing and font size of the characters associated with the top horizontal row. Presentation of the virtual typing sheet and the top horizontal row at the corresponding line spacing are upwardly adjusted to insert a new lateral row for presenting keystrokes.

Generally, an artificial intelligence model is trained based on input from a user to identify preferences of the user for media content, such as images. Camera settings are automatically applied to media content based on the identified preferences of the user so that the user is automatically presented with media content displayed in accordance with his or her preferences.

Automatically customizing camera settings for users

In aspects of device access control based on detected user state, a mobile device has a display device to display visual content for viewing in a secondary user mode of operation of the mobile device. The mobile device implements an access control module to detect a user state of a user accessing the mobile device in the secondary user mode. The access control module can then restrict the display of the visual content on the display device based on the user state being a detected first state, or allow the display of the visual content on the display device based on the user state being a detected second state.

Device access control based on detected user state

A computing device includes at least one camera system. When the camera application is running, the scene from the at least one camera system is analyzed to identify one or more barcodes in the scene. In some situations, multiple barcodes encoding payment links are identified in the scene. In such situations, for each of the multiple barcodes encoding payment links, the barcode is displayed along with the payment link encoded in the barcode and a description of the payment link (e.g., a name of the digital wallet corresponding to the payment link). Various additional information to help the user select one of the payment links may also be displayed, such as a current balance in the digital wallet corresponding to the payment link, rewards for using the digital wallet, discounts for using the digital wallet, and so forth.
