Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis, and to display a navigation menu when the first workspace is displayed. The navigation menu comprises access points, each of which is associated with an application. The system includes a workspace module configured to open at least one of the applications in a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. The system includes a detection module configured to detect a second workspace scrolling command. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the second workspace scrolling command. Displaying the second workspace comprises traversing the stack from the first workspace to the second workspace along the stacking axis. The navigation module is configured to display the navigation menu when the second workspace is displayed.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and machine-readable media include identifying a plurality of task items associated with a user. The plurality of task items includes a plurality of task types. They also include selecting a subset of the plurality of task items based on user activity information. The subset of task items includes at least two different task types. They also include providing a launcher user interface for display to the user on a computing device. The launcher user interface includes a plurality of elements corresponding to the selected subset of task items arranged on a single surface. The plurality of elements is selectable to launch respective applications associated with the corresponding task items.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing touch actions are provided. A plurality of sequentially performed touch actions including a first touch action and a second touch action are determined on a touch interface of an electronic device. An initiation location and a completion location of each of the first and second touch actions are determined on the touch interface. A command is selected based on the determined completion location of the first touch action, the second touch action, and the determined initiation location of the second touch action. The selected command is executed on the electronic device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject technology relate to a method for using a voice command for multiple computing devices. First voice input data is received from a first computing device associated with a user account, where the first voice input data comprises a first voice command captured at the first computing device. Second voice input data is received from a second computing device associated with the user account where the second voice input data comprises a second voice command captured at the second computing device. An intended voice command is determined based on the obtained first and second voice input data. Based on the intended voice command, a first target computing device is determined. First instructions associated with the intended voice command are provided to the first target computing device for execution.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for navigating stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of a plurality of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis. The plurality of workspaces includes a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. At least one application is open in the first workspace or in the second workspace. The system also includes a detection module configured to detect at least one of a first inter-workspace swipe gesture and an intra-workspace swipe gesture. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the first inter-workspace swipe gesture. The navigation module is configured to switch between features or applications of the at least one application in response to the intra-workspace swipe gesture.
Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for transferring application state between devices. A server stores state objects for applications operating on a first device. The server receives, from a second device, a request for device state information associated with the first computing device. In response to the request, the server provides device state information to the second device, the device state information comprising an application enumeration of the applications operating on the first device. In response to receiving a selected one of the applications in the application enumeration, the server provides the second device a state object corresponding to the selected application, and the second device opens a local instance of the application using state provided by the state object.
Abstract:
A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, allow the machine to perform a method are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a computing device, user account credentials associated with an online user account. The method includes sending the user account credentials to a server. The method includes receiving, in response to sending the user account credentials to a server, a user profile associated with the user account. The method includes configuring an operating system session on the device based on the user profile. The method includes receiving an indication to terminate the operating system session. The method includes, erasing, upon termination of the operating system session, the received user profile and data stored locally on the computing device during the operating system session. Systems and methods are also provided.
Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for providing a visual cue of overscrolling displayed content on an electronic device. When the end of a scrollable page or content has been reached, the visual cue corresponds to the user's physical scrolling input. The content in the window is effectively attached to the window so that when the end of the content is reached in one direction, the window containing the content is pulled in the same scrolling direction. The pulling in the scrolling direction occurs in a logarithmically decreasing manner, providing a tactile-like visual effect that the outer frame of the window is resisting the attempt to scroll further in the scrolling direction. The visual resistance effect may include squishing or stretching portions of the window without distorting the content within the window.
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.
