Patent attributes
A system and method for control of user interfaces on electronic and/or computerized devices. The system and method display images, both still and video images, in an orientation-agnostic manner that is independent of a physical orientation of the display screen. This provides an interesting visual display effect whereby the image appears to remain in a fixed orientation (e.g., upright) relative to three-dimensional space, untethered to any position or orientation of the display screen and/or device, while the display screen and/or device is changed in position and/or orientation, such that the portion of the viewed image changes according to the dimensions and orientation of the screen relative to an apparent fixed orientation and/or position of the underlying image. Such a system and method for control of user interfaces provides for more efficient use of a display screen having a relatively limited size, as is common for smartphones and tablet computers.
