20130169667 | METHOD AND APPARATUS PERTAINING TO THE PRESENTATION OF SCROLLING ICONS - A control circuit applies at least one prioritization metric to select some icons of a plurality of icons to provide selected icons and then scrolls a display of the icons. While scrolling the display of the icons the selected icons are displayed in a highlighted form and the non-selected icons are displayed in a non-highlighted form. By one approach, the displayed highlighted and non-highlighted icons are displayed without regard to a sequential order of presentation. | 07-04-2013 |
20130207992 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM CARRYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITIGATING VISUAL ARTEFACTS - The application discloses a method of controlling frame data to be fed to a display device, comprising: controlling one or more processors of an electronic device to produce frame data in which the contrast of a region of the image represented by the frame data is adjusted responsive to: animation of that region of the image; and an indication that the contrast of the region should be adjusted during animation. | 08-15-2013 |
20130214995 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A USER INTERFACE ACROSS MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A system and method are provided for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices. The method comprises providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen; the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices; the first user interface framework using application logic from an application on the first mobile device to determine a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen; and the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device. | 08-22-2013 |
20130217330 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A system and method are provided for transferring data from a first mobile device to another device by determining a set comprising one or more items, initiating a first transfer of at least some data associated with at least one of the one or more items to the other device, detecting an interaction with the set, and enabling a second transfer of additional data associated with the set. | 08-22-2013 |
20130219303 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A SHARED USER INTERFACE - Providing a shared user interface can be achieved by an application running on a first electronic device and a second electronic device that is detected. A shared user interface can be generated based at least in part on the application and the detected device pairing. The shared user interface can comprise a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be displayed at the first electronic device. Data enabling a display of the second portion at the second electronic device can be transmitted to the second electronic device. Input data from at least one of the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be received at the first electronic device to yield received input data. In response to the received input data, at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the shared user interface can modified based on the received input data. | 08-22-2013 |
