摘要:
Exemplary embodiments disclose methods and systems for indicating a location of an active window when switching tasks performed by an application executing on a computer that is coupled to multiple monitors, including a primary monitor and at least one secondary monitor, wherein the primary monitor displays a task switching application showing running tasks. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include: querying an operating system of the computer for monitor configuration, including a physical arrangement of the multiple monitors; in response to a user bringing to focus a task displayed in the task switching application, determining on which one of the one or more secondary monitors the task is running; and displaying a direction indicator indicating a direction of the one or more secondary monitors on which the in focus task is currently running with respect to the primary monitor.

A method, system and computer program product for conserving power in a GPS-based navigation system. The navigation system receives input from the driver selecting a portion(s) of the route (route from the current location of the vehicle to the destination) where the driver requests guidance. For those portions of the route not selected by the driver to receive guidance, the navigation system implements a low detail mode of operation. In such a mode of operation, the navigation system reduces its update frequency as well as displays less detailed graphics so as to consume less power. For those portions selected by the driver to receive guidance, the navigation system implements a high detail mode of operation, where the navigation system is capable of audio-visually communicating to the driver instructions for reaching a given destination. In this manner, the power consumed by the navigation system will be more efficiently utilized.

Methods and systems of managing feed items may involve receiving a feed item and determining an estimate of an amount of time to read the feed item. In addition, the feed item can be prioritized in a feed aggregator based at least in part on the estimate of the amount of time to read the feed item.

Embodiments include a method that includes receiving a destination Internet address for a destination web page into a graphical web browser that is displaying a current web page having a current Internet address on a display. The method includes determining a relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address. The relationship is determined by determining differences between the current Internet address and the destination Internet address. The method also includes determining a spatially-oriented traversal animation based, at least in part, on the relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address. The method includes animating bringing the destination web page onto the display using the spatially-oriented traversal animation. The method also includes displaying the destination web page after the spatially-oriented traversal animation.

A gesture system executes actions or commands based on gesture inputs. The system includes a detection subsystem and a gesture processing device. The detection subsystem monitor a plurality of gesture spheres, including a participant gesture sphere and a guide gesture sphere. The participant gesture sphere corresponds to a first user and a participant domain on a display device. The guide gesture sphere corresponds to a second user. The gesture processing device implements a guide mode to execute an action within the participant domain based on a gesture from the guide gesture sphere.

Embodiments includes a method comprising generating a User Interface (UI) application, based on instructions from a developer using a software development tool. The UI application includes an edit layer configured to enable multiple reviewers of the UI application to graphically overlay multiple reviews of the UI application over a display of the UI application, wherein the multiple reviews comprise a markup of at least one of a design, a layout and a wording of text of the UI application. The method also includes receiving the multiple reviews of the UI application from the multiple reviewers. The method includes displaying, for review by the developer, the UI application and the multiple reviews graphically overlaid on the UI application.
