摘要： A portable, interactive display device is disclosed. The device presents to a user the graphical interface of a host computer. The host is separate from the display device and sits in a fixed location. The invention allows a user to carry with him the user interface capability of the host, limited only by the capabilities of a wireless communications channel to the host. The host provides processing, storage, and access to its own peripheral devices. The display device need only provide the amount of processing necessary to communicate with the host, to run the client side of the hosting software, and to provide security functions. The host provides a docking station that accommodates the display device. When in the docking station, the display device continues to operate but communicates with the host through the docking station rather than through the wireless channel. This allows for a higher quality video connection.

摘要： A user interface for navigating among screens on a personal computer. The screens, which include layers of a shell user interface and various locations within applications, are presented as pages. In addition, commands and help information of an application are presented as a web of command pages. To this end, a unit of measure, called a “place” is defined. In general, an application is a place, and separate documents within an application may also define a place. Separate command windows and dialog boxes within an application or a document typically do not define a place. Backwards navigation takes the user to the previous place, and forward navigation (if possible) takes the user to the next place. Because the underlying data for a page may change between an initial visit to a page and navigation back to the page, data objects and page code are maintained separately, and are combined only when a request for a page is made.

摘要： Conventional computer systems include numerous application programs which by default store files, or documents, in folders containing the application program that creates them. For example, wordprocessing documents are stored by default in the folder with the wordprocessing application program, and so forth. Thus, users who choose not to organize their documents according to subject matter or other criteria end up having their documents dispersed across numerous application-program folders, sometimes making them difficult to find. Accordingly, the inventors devised a computer operating system that defines a common default document folder for application programs. Moreover, to promote use of the default document folder, one embodiment of the operating system includes a graphical user interface which provides links, that is, one-button access to the common default folder, at file access points, such as in file-open and file-save dialog boxes accessed by the application programs.

摘要翻译： 传统的计算机系统包括许多应用程序，默认情况下，在包含创建它们的应用程序的文件夹中存储文件或文档。 例如，字处理文档默认存储在具有字处理应用程序的文件夹中，等等。 因此，根据主题或其他标准选择不组织文档的用户最终将其文档分散在许多应用程序文件夹中，有时使其难以找到。 因此，发明人设计了一种计算机操作系统，其定义用于应用程序的公共默认文档文件夹。 此外，为了促进使用默认文档文件夹，操作系统的一个实施例包括图形用户界面，其在文件访问点处提供链接，即，一键访问公用默认文件夹，例如文件打开 和应用程序访问的文件保存对话框。

摘要： A shell navigation tool for a personal computer having a multiple page shell user interface and a shell component. The shell user interface utilizes navigation between multiple layers of pages to organize and display links to local and remote documents, programs, web links, tasks, services, devices, and the like. At the top level of the multiple-page shell user interface, a start page provides access via hyperlinks to lower order pages, as well as links to system settings, and a limited number of local and remote documents, web links, and programs. Lower pages in the hierarchy, referred to as “Activity Centers” may be scoped to define activity types or groups (e.g., games, web, photography, personal finance). An Activity Center page provides links to local and remote programs documents, and web links, that are related to the defined activity.

摘要： A notification component that is shared between all applications that provides notifications to users without interrupting the task that the user is working and allows users to manage the notifications from one location. The user can globally set preferences as to how the notifications should be rendered. These preferences include enabling or disabling notification classifications, which rendering type they want to use for each notification classification, and priority of notifications within each notification classification. The notification component allows the user to indicate what notifications the user want to sees and how the notifications are rendered. Rendering types include audio, visual, and pager styles. An application uses an application programming interface to send notification using schema based or text based notifications. The system parses the notification and provides the user the notification through notification classifications in accordance with the user preferences.

摘要翻译： 在向用户提供通知的所有应用程序之间共享的通知组件，而不会中断用户正在工作的任务，并允许用户从一个位置管理通知。 用户可以全局设置如何呈现通知的首选项。 这些偏好包括启用或禁用通知分类，每个通知分类要使用哪种渲染类型，以及每个通知分类中的通知的优先级。 通知组件允许用户指示用户想要看到的通知以及通知如何呈现。 渲染类型包括音频，视觉和寻呼机样式。 应用程序使用应用程序编程接口使用基于模式或基于文本的通知来发送通知。 系统解析通知，并根据用户偏好通过通知分类为用户提供通知。
