Another Microsoft patent has shown up pertaining to a foldable device, and how such a piece of hardware might have clever multi-function buttons to improve the overall user experience.
The recently published patent spotted by Windows Latest relates to ‘orientation specific control’, or buttons that are capable of activating different functions depending on the configuration of the foldable hardware.
And while the cited computing device seems to be some manner of foldable phone – and Microsoft’s Andromeda ‘pocketable’ computer is no longer a priority – the technology could still feasibly be applied to the rumored incoming Surface Centaurus dual-screen tablet (the device which has taken precedence, and was indeed secretly shown off by Microsoft not so long ago).
