A method includes presenting a representation of a multi-panel display of an operator console on a touchscreen separate from the multi-panel display. The representation includes multiple placeholders associated with multiple panels of the multi-panel display. The method also includes receiving user input via the touchscreen, where the user input identifies at least one of the placeholders associated with at least one of the panels and a desired function. The method further includes performing the desired function to one of change first content presented in the at least one panel or change second content presented on the touchscreen based on the first content presented in the at least one panel. The desired function could include pushing the first content to the at least one panel or pulling the second content from the at least one panel.

A screen control method applied to a deformable electronic device is provided, which includes: acquiring attitude information of the electronic device in a case that a first region of a screen of the electronic device is deformed; selecting a second region of the screen based on a second attitude of the electronic device in a case that an attitude of the electronic device is changed from a first attitude to the second attitude; and controlling the second region to be deformed, where the second region is different from the first region. With the method, in a case that the first region of the screen of the electronic device is deformed and the attitude of the electronic device is changed, the deformed region is adjusted based on the changed attitude of the electronic device.

A display system includes a display region including a plurality of sub display apparatuses and a host processor which divides source image data into a plurality of sub input image data corresponding to the plurality of sub display apparatuses, and provides the plurality of sub input image data to the plurality of sub display apparatuses. A sub display apparatus of the plurality of sub display apparatuses includes a sub display panel including a plurality of pixels and a panel driver which receives corresponding sub input image data among the plurality of sub input image data and drives the sub display panel based on the corresponding sub input image data. The host processor includes a data generator which senses information of the plurality of sub display apparatuses included in the display region and determines a number of the plurality of sub display apparatuses.

A digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from a user's social media account or her or his community members' social media accounts. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer, and a viewer profile automatically determined from the identity of the viewer. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers.

An electronic device, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors and memory, displays a first representation of a first controllable external device, where the first controllable external device is situated at a location. The device detects a first user input corresponding to a selection of the first representation of the first controllable external device. The device, after detecting the first user input, adds data identifying the first controllable external device and a first state of the first controllable external device in a scene profile.

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for adjusting brightness settings based on proximity and context data. A proximity module determines a proximity of a first information handling device to a second information handling device. A context module determines context data associated with one or more of the second information handling device and a user of the second information handling device. An adjustment module adjusts a brightness setting of the first information handling device based on the determined proximity and the context data.

A multi-angle attachable display device includes a polygonal light emitting module and a control module. The light emitting module has a light emitting layer with at least one light emitting unit, a module driver, and multiple connection ports. The at least one light emitting unit includes a unit driver that electrically connects the module driver. Each of the connection ports is mounted on a side surface of the light emitting layer and electrically connected to the module driver. The control module includes a controller connection port, a wireless communication unit, and a processing unit. When the controller connection port is connected to one of the connection ports of the light emitting layer, the processing unit detects a connection pathway of the light emitting module, and the processing unit generates and sends a light pattern signal to control the unit driver through the controller connection port and the module driver.

One embodiment provides a graphics processor device that includes circuitry configured to detect a connection of a second display device to a display subsystem of the graphics processor while a first display device of the graphics subsystem is active, write pre-determined pixel data to a reserved portion of memory associated with the display subsystem, configure timings for the second display device while resources allocated to the first display device remain available to the first display device, display the pre-determined pixel data from the reserved portion of the memory on the second display device during reallocation of the resources of the display subsystem to enable output the framebuffer data to the second display device, and transition the second display device from the display of the pixel data in the reserved portion of the memory to the display of the framebuffer data after resources of the display subsystem are reallocated.

Methods, systems, and media for presenting requested content on public display devices are provided. In some implementations a method for presenting content on a display device is provided, the method comprising: receiving a request from a mobile device to present content, including image data, on a display device; receiving a graphical representation associated with a user; receiving location information associated with the mobile device; receiving display device information associated with display devices, including location information associated with that display device; selecting, without user input, a first display device on which to present the content based on the location information associated with the mobile device and the location information associated with each of the plurality of display devices; and in response to selecting the first display device, causing both the graphical representation associated with the user of the mobile device and the content to be presented by the first display device.

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a transmission processing section which performs short-range one-to-one communication with a communication partner device, a reception processing section, a received data processing section which acquires information obtained by communication with the communication partner device, a display section which displays the information, and a display processing section which executes processing of displaying the information based on a content of the information.
