TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The embodiments herein generally relate to the field of multi screen devices and more particularly to rendering of content on the multi screen devices.

BACKGROUND
[002] Recent developments in device technology have introduced multi screen devices in handheld device market. A multi screen device provides a larger screen space as compared to limited screen space of the single screen devices in the same form factor. A dual screen display device utilizes the dual screens for simultaneously displaying content corresponding to one or more applications or tasks of the dual screen device. The larger screen space of the dual screen device enables a reduction in the typical visually cluttered look of the display screen, especially when multiple tasks or applications are opened and displayed simultaneously on the screen. However, content display management logic for the existing dual screen devices is static or provides default settings. The existing dual screen devices provide content display or content rendering management flexibility to some extent. For example, gestures like icon drag and drop are provided to display the contents to the desired screen. However, existing methods for content rendering provide limited to default options and require user intervention (intrusive), effectively degrading user experience. Further, whenever any task or application is initiated the existing dual screen devices turn on both the screens even though the user uses only one screen for the task. This limitation is introduced as the screen the user may desire to use cannot be presumed. Thus the screens of the existing dual screen devices unnecessarily consume higher power, leading to draining of the battery.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 200 for rendering of the content on one or more screens of the multi screen device 100, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. At step 202, the method 200 includes allowing the content rendering module 110 to define the rule set based on the pre-defined parameters associated with one or more tasks, the dynamic parameters associated with one or more tasks and the like. The rule set includes plurality of rules defined for each task.
[0025] In an embodiment, the method 200 allows the content rendering module 110 to receive inputs from the user to set the rules for the rule set.
[0026] In an embodiment, the rules are built based on inference from learning based approaches where user actions related to tasks initiated and screen preferred by the user are observed and recorded.
[0027] The plurality of rule sets based on plurality of parameters such as the pre-defined parameters and the dynamic parameters are described in conjunction with example rule sets of FIG 3 through FIG. 5 for better understanding. In an embodiment, the plurality of pre-defined parameters include nature of one or more tasks, relation of one or more tasks with other tasks from the plurality of tasks, history of usage pattern of the plurality of screens for display of the content corresponding to one or more tasks and so on. The nature of one or more tasks comprises an active task or a passive task. Further, the rule set based on the nature of tasks defines how content corresponding to a passive task on a screen among the multiple screens is to be rendered when an active task related with said passive task is initiated.
[0028] The plurality of dynamic parameters include the user context when one or more tasks are initiated on the multi screen device, availability of screen space on the screens of the multi screen device when one or more tasks are initiated and the like. For example, the user context may be user’s action, user activity or user’s situation while performing one or more tasks. The rule set based on the user context defines to on which screen, among the multiple screens, content corresponding to the task is to be rendered. The rendering of content is such that the selected screen that is selected in accordance with the user context allows receiving optimal user attention.
[0029] At step 204, the method 200 allows the content rendering module 110 to render content corresponding to one or more tasks on one or more screens of the multi screen display device 100 based on one or more rules of the rule set defined for the multi screen device.
[0030] For example, a first rule set can be based on the pre-defined parameter derived based on learning approach such as the history of usage pattern of the screens by the user for watching the content corresponding to a particular initiated task (application). Based on the history recorded the rule table can indicate the screen usage percentage for each screen for each task of the multi screen device 100.
[0031] The rule defined for the first rule set can state ‘display content of the task under consideration on the screen having maximum usage percentage for the task and display or render all other ongoing or initiated tasks on remaining screens’.
[0032] For example, a second rule set may be based the pairing of tasks based on the pre-defined parameter such as relation of one or more tasks with other tasks from the plurality of tasks. Thus, whenever a task is initiated the paired task is automatically opened on the other screen. For example, when an incoming call is initiated, a paired text message application can be automatically opened to enable user share any text message such as contact information or a web link with the caller. In an embodiment, the pairing can be based on nature of the task. For example an active task that involves active user involvement can be paired with a passive task that involves passive user involvement. For example a camera application (active task with user actively involved in capturing the snaps) can be paired with a gallery application (passive task) that allows user to browse through all the captured snaps when he/she desires without need of user intervention for opening the gallery application.
[0033] Thus, the rule defined for the second rule set can state ‘display content of task initiated on a screen and display content of paired one or more tasks on the remaining screens’.
[0034] For example, a third rule set may be based on the dynamic parameter such as the user action or user activity detected when a task is initiated and one or more tasks paired with the user action. For example, when the user action detected indicates user is in office (identified based on GPS location) a news application paired with the user action may be automatically displayed on one screen in pair with an email application initiated by the user. In another example none of the task may be paired with a task, and the remaining screens other than that used for displaying content corresponding to the task may be switched off.
[0035] Thus, the method 200 provides optimal usage of all the screens without need of user intervention, further, reduces battery consumption and distraction to the user.
[0036] The various actions in method 200 may be performed in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments, some actions listed in FIG. 2 may be omitted.
[0037] FIG. 3 is an example illustrating display of content corresponding to a plurality of tasks of the multi screen device based on nature of the tasks, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The figure depicts the multi screen device 100 (specifically dual screen device) with a left screen 302 and a right screen 304. A table 1 below provides the example rule set-1 defined for plurality of tasks of the multi screen device 100 based on nature of ongoing tasks. The nature of tasks indicates whether the task is the active task or the passive task and a column named related tasks in the rule set-1 indicates the tasks a particular task is related with.

TABLE 1:
Rule Set-1 Nature of ongoing tasks
Task Active/Passive Related tasks
1. Reader Active 2, 3
2. Dictionary Passive -
3. Translator Passive 5
4. Email Active 5
5. Notepad Passive 4

[0038] The rules in the rule set-1 indicate the plurality of tasks of the multi screen device 100 such as task1-reader, task2-dictionary, task3-translator, task4–Email, and task5-notepad. The active/passive column mentions the active or passive nature of each task while the related task column mentions whether a task is related to any other task. The content rendering module 110 can be configured to utilize the information in the rule set-1 and infer the following rules for the managing the display of content corresponding to each task.
[0039] For example, task 1- reader is an active task and is related with two passive task, task2–dictionary and task3-translator. Thus, whenever the user opens the task1-reader on the multi screen device 100, the content corresponding to the task1-reader is displayed on right screen 304, while the related passive tasks are automatically opened on the left screen 302.Thus, the passive tasks (task 2- dictionary, and task3- translator) can be useful to the user while user is actively involved in reading activity.
[0040] In another example, when the user opens the passive task3 – translator on one screen, automatically the related passive task5-notepad may be opened on the other screen to enable user to prepare notes based on the translation activity he/she is involved with.
[0041] The rule set defining the related task can be preset or may be derived from user inputs, indicating user choice of related tasks.
[0042] FIG. 4a, 4b and 4c illustrate an example for display of the content corresponding to the plurality of tasks of the multi screen device based on history of usage pattern of one or more screens for the plurality of tasks of the multi screen device, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The figures 4a, 4b and 4c respectively depict the multi screen device 100 (specifically dual screen device) with the left screen 302 and the right screen 304. A table 2 below provides the example rule set-2 defined for plurality of tasks of the multi screen device 100 based on the history of usage pattern of one or more screens for the plurality of tasks of the user. The rules of the rule set-2 are generated based on learning approach where user’s screen usage pattern is observed over a period to infer actions for rule set-2.
TABLE: 2
Rule Set-2 (Previous usage pattern)
Task Used on
Left Screen Used on
Right Screen Used with task
1. Incoming call 80% 20% -
2. Maps 45% 55% 3
3. News 65% 35% 2
4. Email 5% 95% 3
…. … … ….

[0043] The rules of the rule set-2 indicate the plurality of tasks of the multi screen device 100 such as task1-reader, task2-dictionary, task3- translator, task4–Email along with their respective screen usage pattern for the left screen 302 and the right screen 304. The last column indicates one or more tasks that are used by the user along with the initiated task (ongoing task initiated by the user) as observed and learnt by the content rendering module for generating the rule set based on learning based approach.
[0044] For example, FIG. 4a indicates user mostly opens the initiated task 1- incoming call on the left screen 302 while any other task such as task2-maps is opened on the right screen 304. Similarly, the FIG. 4b indicates user mostly opens task4-E mail on the right screen 304 while any other task such as task2-maps is opened on the left screen 302. Thus, whenever the user is in situation as depicted in FIG 4b and task 1- incoming call is initiated, then as depicted in FIG. 4c the content rendering module can be configured to automatically hide task-2 map and open task1 –incoming call on the left screen 302 and retain display of content corresponding to the ongoing task4-email on the right screen 304.
[0045] FIG. 5A and 5b illustrate an example for display of the content corresponding to one or more tasks of the multi screen device based on the user context such as a user action detected when one or more tasks are initiated on the multi screen device, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The figures 5a, and 5c respectively depict the multi screen device 100 (specifically dual screen device) with the left screen 302 and the right screen 304. A table 3 below provides the example rule set-3 defined for displaying content of the plurality of tasks of the multi screen device 100 based on the user action detected.

TABLE: 3
Rule Set-3 (User Context (User action) detected))
User situation Lt. Screen Rt. Screen
Driving Off Navigation, Map, Music, …
Reading Off, Browser, …
Watching TV Browsing, Games … Email. SNS, Chat, …

. . .

[0046] The rules of the rule set-3 indicate the plurality of user actions detected when using the multi screen device 10. The action, for example, includes driving, watching TV, and reading, in office. Further, the status of the left screen 302 and right screen 304 with respect to content being displayed for a particular user action detected is defined in the rule set 3 for each user action.
[0047] For example, as depicted in FIG. 5a whenever a user is detected in driving situation, content corresponding to only one task may be displayed on one screen while other screen remains unused to reduce distraction to the driving user. Further, the rule states that the unused screen (left screen 302) can be selectively switched off to reduce power consumption. The content display management muddle 110 can be configured to reduce battery drainage by switching of the unused screen. Thus content corresponding to any task initiated (maps, navigation, incoming call or the like)) may be displayed on the right screen 304. The screen selection for display of the content when driving can be based on many factors such as whether user is using a right hand driven or a left hand driven car and so on. Such information can be collected form database prior to rule set generation. For example, as depicted in FIG. 5b on detection of user situation as office, then along with the email application opened by the user and new application can be automatically opened on r=left screen 302 to enable user to update himself with current news while being busy with office work.
[0048] In an embodiment, the user input may be used to generate the rule set-3 for relating the task and display of corresponding content with corresponding user situations
