Abstract

An electronic device includes a first device housing coupled to a second device housing by a hinge such that the first device housing is pivotable about the hinge between an axially displaced open position and a closed position. An exterior display is coupled to the electronic device and is exposed when the electronic device is in the closed position. At least one interior display is coupled to electronic device and is concealed when the electronic device is in the axially displaced open position. One or more processors detect user input interacting with two or more notifications presented on the exterior display. When the electronic device transitions to the axially displaced open position, the one or more processors present two or more interactive application portals of two or more predefined applications associated with the two or more notifications on the at least one interior display.
