Abstract: Architecture that generates a companion window in combination with a source application experience to enable the accomplishment of a side task yet not switch away from the context of the source application. The companion window experience is a window that is rendered proximate (e.g., beside) a user's source application experience, in a predictable location, and with a predictable user model for invocation and dismissal. The companion window allows the user to retain full visual context of the associated source application experience, while rendering activities that directly pertain to the source application experience or activities that allow the user to interact with two applications.

Abstract translation: 生成与源应用程序体验相结合的协同窗口的架构，以实现侧任务但不切换源应用程序的上下文。 伴侣窗口体验是一个窗口，它可以在可预测的位置，以及一个用于调用和解雇的可预测的用户模型附近（例如旁边）呈现用户的源应用程序体验。 伴随窗口允许用户保留相关源应用程序体验的完整视觉上下文，同时呈现直接涉及源应用程序体验的活动或允许用户与两个应用程序交互的活动。
