Abstract
A foldable computing device with multiple display regions repositions UI components of an application. A repositioned UI component may be easier to access, discover, and manipulate. In some configurations, a UI component is repositioned to be closer to the thumbs of a user holding the device. In other configurations, a UI component is repositioned to avoid inter-region gestures. In other configurations, a UI component is repositioned to a location that is less likely to move or shift the device by the physical force of touching the component. A content optimization engine may determine whether to reposition a UI component based on a number of factors, including a posture of the device, a size of the component, a complexity of user interaction needed to use the component, how often the component is used, etc.
