Abstract

Some examples include transitioning between an individual mode and a collaborative mode in response to an orientation change of a device. Further, some implementations include identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices (e.g., co-located devices) in the collaborative mode. In some examples, the individual mode may be associated with an individual search, the collaborative mode may be associated with a collaborative search, and the devices may transition between the individual mode and the collaborative mode in response to orientation changes.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method comprising:

 transitioning the device to the collaborative mode; and 
 identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices in the collaborative mode.
