Abstract:
A method includes transforming a mode of a computer from an operating system mode to a kiosk mode, wherein the kiosk mode provides a user interface for one web application, and wherein the kiosk mode prevents access to any other application or the operating system of the computer. The computer automatically updates the web application via a network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode, and automatically updates an operating system of the computer via the network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode. The computer automatically re-launches the web application in response to detecting an interrupted status of the web application while the computer is operating in kiosk mode.
Abstract:
Methods for providing visual feedback when an end area of content is reached are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an input in a first direction to at least one of scroll, rotate, or scale a portion of content provided for display, and determining whether an edge of the content in the first direction is reached in response to the input. The method also includes applying a stretch effect to the displayed portion of content when the determination indicates an edge of the content in the first direction is reached. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
Abstract:
A system and method for registering a client device to obtain network access from a provider device. A server receives an authorization request for a user account to provide network access from provider devices associated with the user account to client devices associated with the user account. The server receives a unique identifier for each of the client devices, and provides the unique identifier for each of the client devices to each of the provider devices. The server provides an indication to at least one provider device to monitor for a request for network access from at least one client device, the request from the client device comprising the unique identifier of the client device. The provider device is configured to provide network access information to the client device in response to the request.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for adjusting sizes of attached windows is provided. The method includes attaching two or more windows to each other to form a common border shared by each of the two or more attached windows, and providing a resize area for simultaneously adjusting sizes of the two or more attached windows when a user input indicator is within a predetermined proximity to the common border. The method also includes and simultaneously adjusting the sizes of the two or more attached windows when the user input indicator moves into the resize area and a resize input is received based on the user input indicator that has moved into the resize area. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for matching input gestures on a touch interface to a security pattern to allow user access to an electronic device or account. The security pattern may correspond to a combination of linear and non-linear input gestures relating to directional changes of the input gestures. A determination of the security pattern may be based on the end motion and speed of each input gesture.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for presenting open windows and tabs are provided. In some aspects, multiple window indicators are presented, at a display of a computing device having multiple open windows, where each window indicator indicates content for a respective window of the multiple open windows, and where a first window from among the multiple open windows includes multiple open tabs. Multiple tab indicators are presented, at the display of the computing device, in conjunction with the window indicator of the first window and while continuing to present the multiple window indicators, where each tab indicator indicates content for a respective tab of the multiple open tabs.
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:
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:
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.
