Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a first panel having a first display surface and a first back surface; a second panel having a second display surface and a second back surface; a third panel having a third display surface and a third back surface, wherein the first panel is rotatably coupled to a first edge of the second panel and wherein the third panel is rotatably coupled to a second edge of the second panel; a folding configuration sensor configured to detect a configuration of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel; a direction sensor to detect a change in a direction of one of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel relative to a direction of a gravitational pull; and a processor configured to execute at least one software application having a graphical user interface, the processor responsive to the folding configuration sensor and the direction sensor to automatically modify the graphical user interface based on the detected configuration and change in the direction of one of the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel relative to the direction of the gravitational pull.
