An example processor-implemented method for adjusting screen orientation of a display associated with a device with the present disclosure includes establishing connection between the display unit and a plurality of devices. The plurality of instances run on the plurality of devices. The method also includes displaying simultaneously on the display screen of the display unit the plurality of instances.

Display of multiple local instances

In one example implementation, a computing device displays a first application window and second application window adjacent to each other in a multi-application viewing area. The computing device detects a gesture in either an upper gesture detection area or a lower gesture detection area and controls either the first application window or second application window based on the gesture.

Multi-application viewing

An example processor-implemented method for adjusting screen orientation of a display associated with a device with the present disclosure is identifying a request for a new profile, the new profile being created in the device, requesting a selection of a screen orientation for the new profile, adjusting the orientation of the display for the new profile based on the screen orientation selection, and manage applications on the device based on the screen orientation selection.

Screen orientation adjustment

An example method for controlling the orientation of a display screen of a computing device is provided in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The method includes identifying a request for a change of an orientation of a screen in a device from a first screen orientation to a second screen orientation. The request may be sent by a mobile application. The method further includes determining whether the device has an ability to rotate the screen to the second orientation, canceling the request for change of the orientation of the screen, and adjusting the resolution of the screen to emulate rotation of the screen to the second orientation while remaining in the first orientation.
