Abstract
Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface on a second screen. More particularly, the method includes a change in the display mode of a multiple screen device from a first screen to a second screen while the device is closed. The change in the display mode may be made in response to one or more actions conducted by a user in a gesture capture region. The actions can include tapping the device in the gesture capture region. The actions can also include further input received in a window provided in response to the taps in the gesture capture region.
