摘要:
A host computer is provided with a main display unit and an auxiliary display unit. The host computer can free up screen space on the main display screen by routing certain types of display information to the auxiliary display unit for display. Display information can range from notification of events such as receipt of email, appointments, system messages, and information from separate applications. The auxiliary display panel may function as a user interface for audio, video, “push information”, MP3 player or become the hardware equivalent of a multimedia player. The auxiliary display panel may be integrated together with the host computer in the same physical structure or may be part of a standalone display unit that is wired or wirelessly coupled to the host computer.

In a computer system, a touch sensitive input device having touch sensitive auxiliary controls can be used to provide a user with information regarding the functionality of an auxiliary control. When a user's hand approaches a touch sensitive input device, feedback can be displayed on a display screen. A user can receive feedback without activating the input device by touching or being extremely proximate to an auxiliary control. The feedback may take the form of a tool tip related to the auxiliary control or a combination of auxiliary controls simultaneously touched. When the hand of a user is moved away from the touch sensitive input device, the feedback brought on by sensing the user's hand may disappear.

A method and system for displaying a menu to a user via a user interface. The processor with instructions identifies an image type corresponding to a displayed image. Upon this determination, the processor selects a mask corresponding to the image type. Thereafter, the processor modifies the displayed image using the selected mask. As a result, a user can access other applications via an overlay menu while experiencing a current page or current application. Furthermore, a user select menu items and navigate through a menu while viewing an image in the background via a semi-transparent mask.

Embodiments related to the non-uniform scrolling of a scrollable list displayed on a computing device display are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a display comprising displaying a scrollable list of items that includes a first pair of list positions separated by a first spacing on the display, and a second pair of list positions separated by a second spacing that is different than the first spacing. The method further comprises detecting a movement of a manipulator from a first location to a second location, and in response, scrolling a first list item on the display between the first pair of list positions at a first scroll distance/manipulator movement distance correspondence, and scrolling a second list item between the second pair of list positions at a second scroll distance/manipulator movement distance correspondence.

In a computer system, a touch sensitive input device having touch sensitive auxiliary controls system can be used to anticipate a user's action. When a user's hand approaches a touch sensitive input device, feedback can be displayed on a display screen. A user can receive feedback without activating the input device. The feedback may take the form of status information related to the feature controlled by the input device and can vary depending upon the application open. Likewise, when the hand of a user is moved away from the touch sensitive input device, the feedback brought on by sensing the user's hand may disappear.
摘要:
A looping menu is implemented through appropriate spacing and positioning of menu elements and by masking repeating menu elements. The starting position of the mask may be calculated with respect to the width of the initial set of menu elements presented before encountering repeating menu elements and the gap spacing between the menu elements. A larger gap spacing may be used between the first and last menu elements in order to indicate the start of the menu element list and to properly position the repeating menu elements within the mask area. The starting position for the mask, and thereby the ultimate width of the mask, may be dynamically calculated for any configuration of menu elements regardless of number and length of menu elements in a looping menu.
