Abstract:
A computing device may include one or more dynamically configurable user input devices. In one example, a triggering event, such as, for example, a user input at a user interface of the computing device, may be detected in connection with an application running on the computing device. In response to the detected triggering event, individual elements of the user interface, such as, for example, keys of a keyboard, may be configured, and/or re-configured, to correspond to the input received and/or the application running on the computing device.
Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for transferring notifications between multiple computing devices. A notification is provided for display at a first computing device associated with a user account. An indication is received of a user gesture for moving the notification to a second computing device associated with the user account, the second computing device being remote from the first computing device. In response to the indication, the notification is provided to the second computing device for display at the second computing device and removed from the first computing device so that the notification is no longer displayed at the first computing device.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing a light bar for a web browser in an immersive mode. A system is configured to display a web browser in a first browsing mode, wherein the browser in the first browsing mode comprises one or more tabs and receive, from a user, an indication to enter a second browsing mode for the web browser. In response to receiving the indication, the web browser may be displayed in the second browsing mode in which the one or more tabs are not shown. One or more light bars may also be displayed in a display area of the web browser at locations corresponding with the one or more tabs. Each of the one or more light bars is associated with one of the one or more tabs.
Abstract:
The disclosed subject matter relates to computer implemented methods for transferring a state of an application from a first computing device to a second computing device. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first request from a first computing device to transfer a state of a first application from the first computing device to the second computing device. The method further includes sending to the second computing device, a second request for an approval to initiate the transfer. The method further includes receiving from the second computing device an approval to initiate the transfer. The method further includes receiving from the first computing device, based on the received approval, the state of the first application. The method further includes sending the received state of the first application to the second device.
Abstract:
A laptop computer may include a base, a lid, and a cover. The base may include a keyboard on a first side of the base. The lid may be hingedly attached to a first end of the base. The lid may include a display on a first side of the lid. The hinged attachment of the lid to the base may enable the lid to rotate from a first lid position in which the display faces the keyboard, to a second lid position in which a second side of the lid faces a second side of the base. A hinged attachment of the cover to the base may enable the cover to rotate from a first cover position, in which a first side of the cover faces the keyboard, to a second cover position in which a second side of the cover faces the second side of the base.
Abstract:
The subject technology discloses configurations for providing detecting a first touch input on a touch-sensitive screen, wherein the first touch input corresponds with a position on the touch-sensitive screen. The subject technology further determines if the position of the first touch input is within a predetermined distance of a tap target area associated with a graphical element. The tap target area is then expanded by a predetermined amount to increase an area of the tap target area. The subject technology receives a second touch input on the touch-sensitive screen, wherein the second touch input corresponds with a second position on the touch-sensitive screen. It is determined if the position of the second touch input is within the expanded tap target area. The subject technology then selects the graphical element in response to the position of the second touch input being within the expanded tap target area.
Abstract:
Displaying windows on a computing device includes displaying a first window on a display of a computing device. First user input corresponding to a drag gesture from a first edge of the display inward and away from the first edge is received. In response to the received first user input, a second window is displayed concurrent with display of the first window. Second user input corresponding to a swipe gesture from a second edge of the display inward and away from the second edge is received. In response to the received second user input, a third window is displayed that replaces the concurrent display of the first and second windows. A state of the concurrent display of the first and second windows is stored for subsequent concurrent display of the first and second windows.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing a power mode of a designated electronic device are provided. A geographical location of a mobile electronic device is determined. A comparison of the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device and a stored location of a designated electronic device in a power-off mode is made. A wake-up signal is sent to the designated electronic device if the determined geographical location of the mobile electronic device is within a proximity threshold of the designated electronic device, where the designated electronic device is configured to enter a power-on mode upon receipt of the wake-up signal.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for managing the placement one or more windows, the method comprising, defining a grid for a desktop display area, wherein the grid comprises a plurality of grid contours that are regularly spaced within the desktop display area, receiving user input for placing a selected window into a new position within the desktop display area and associating one or more edges of the selected window with one or more of the plurality of grid contours. In certain aspects, the method further comprises steps for snapping the window to the grid based on the association between the one or more edges and the one or more of the plurality of grid contours. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for managing a display of one or more windows, the method comprising, presenting a first window in a display area, receiving a command to display a second window in the display area and identifying, in response to the command, one or more available locations in the display area, based on the first window presented in the display area. In certain aspects, the method further comprises steps for selecting a display location for the second window, from among the one or more available locations. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
