Abstract
A dual-screen client device includes a user interface for providing content and application tools to a user in an easy to use manner. Different inputs of the user interface are presented to the user on one or both of the screens depending on a current state of the device and in response to user operation. Content such as an item of interest in a particular application is presented on one screen while tools or other inputs for that application are provided on the other screen. Through user operation of the interface or physical manipulation of the client device, the content and tools are swapped between the dual screens. For instance, buttons and menus can be brought up front to a closer screen for quick input, while active content (e.g., video chat, full image, drawings) is presented on the farther screen.
