| 20120131501 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR - An electronic device is provided including a display, a processor and a memory. The processor is coupled to the display and the memory to carry out a method of facilitating user interface navigation in the electronic device. In a first view shown on the display, a first application interface provides a visual representation of a first application. In response to receiving a navigational command to access a second application visually represented by a second application interface, a transitional view is displayed including a transition between the first application interface and the second application interface. The displayed transition can be dependent on a property of the received navigational command. The first and second application interfaces can be displayed to appear in a non-overlapping arrangement on a planar surface, and can have sheet-like properties or behaviors. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120127098 | Portable Electronic Device and Method of Controlling Same - A method includes displaying information associated with a first application on a touch-sensitive display, detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive display and determining touch attributes, determining when the touch is a first gesture type based on the touch attributes, and when the touch is determined to be the first gesture type, forwarding information related to the touch to a second application, otherwise forwarding the information related to the touch to the first application. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120105345 | Portable Electronic Device and Method of Controlling Same - A method is provided for an electronic device with a processor and a touch-sensitive display, the touch-sensitive display including a display area and a non-display area. The method includes providing a boundary based on the display area and the non-display area. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120075327 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR - A portable electronic device having a display and a processor is disclosed herein. The processor is configured to render an active application on substantially the entire display. In response to a status change, an alert is rendered in a visually insignificant area of the display. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110313983 | OPTIMIZED STARTUP VERIFICATION OF FILE SYSTEM INTEGRITY - A computer system having a transaction based file system is disclosed. The computer system includes file system software that manages the file data and the file system structure of files stored on a persistent data storage device and maintains a transaction file that includes a plurality of transaction records. The file system software executes a startup process in which a reconstructed file system is generated in random access memory from the transaction records. The startup process may skip verification of some of the transactions. The file system software may error check at least one of the skipped transactions in response to a request to access a file identified by a file node record in the reconstructed filed system after the startup process is completed. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110246477 | FILESYSTEM HAVING A FILENAME CACHE - A system comprising a processor, a data storage device that is accessible by the processor, and filesystem software that is executable by the processor to organize files on the data storage device are provided. The filesystem software is executable to maintain a filename cache comprising filename entries. The filename entries may include a filename header section and each filename entry identifies a filename of a corresponding file. | 10-06-2011 |
