Abstract:
1. A method performed by a computing device having a processor, the method comprising: identifying, by the computing device, one or more features of a user in a captured image on a mobile device; calculating a confidence metric for the identifying of the one or more features; accessing stored user orientation axes of pictures stored on the mobile device; determining a user orientation axis of the captured image in response to determining that the confidence metric exceeds a threshold value and determining the user orientation axis of a stored picture in response to determining that the confidence metric does not exceed a threshold value; defining a content orientation axis corresponding to an orientation direction of a screen content; determining whether the content orientation axis and the user orientation axis are parallel or perpendicular; changing the orientation direction of the screen content to be substantially along the user orientation axis based on the determination of whether the content orientation axis and the user orientation axis are parallel or perpendicular; and displaying the screen content on the mobile device.
