| 20120102428 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC BACKGROUND USER INTERFACE(S) - Some aspects relate to providing a graphical interface for an application, underlying a graphical interface provided by an operating system shell. In an example, an input device (e.g., a mouse) generates an event associated with a location of a graphical display. The event is intercepted by a code segment provided in conjunction with the application, which determines whether the location is associated with a defined portion of the display associated with an actionable area of the graphical interface for the application, and that the location is not also associated with an element of the OS shell graphical interface (and if applicable, an active window of another application). If those conditions hold, then the event is redirected to the application, which can become active or take one or more actions. In a particular example, the defined portion of the display is visually distinguishable on a wallpaper image stored in video memory. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20110145327 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTEXTUALIZING AND LINKING MEDIA ITEMS - Some aspects relate to systems and methods of tagging to enhance contextualization of media items and ease of use. Tag data structures provide an extensible platform to allow description of a concept from multiple points of view and in multiple contexts, such as locations, activities, and people. Individual application instances using these data structures can each maintain a private store of media items, and can be synchronized with a server. Each application owner can select portions of the private store to share. The server also can maintain canonical hierarchies of tags, such as hierarchies of activities and of places. These canonical hierarchies can be provided to application instances, where private modifications/additions can be made. Owners can offer to share private modifications, which can be accepted or rejected. Displays of media item selections and of clouds of related tags can be formed based on the contextual and relational information contained in the tags and in the canonical hierarchies. | 06-16-2011 |
