| 20080259095 | Method and Apparatus for Changing Display Orientations on a Monitor of a Portable Computer - A method for changing the display orientation on a monitor of a portable computer after the portable computer has been rotated by a user is disclosed. In response to a detection that the portable computer has been physically rotated, a determination is made whether or not the new physical orientation is unchanged within a predetermined period of time. If the new physical orientation has been changed within the predetermined period of time, the portable computer continues to detect for a physical rotation. If the new physical orientation is unchanged within the predetermined period of time, a display orientation on a monitor of the portable computer is adjusted to accommodate the new physical orientation. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090037825 | MODE-SWITCHING IN ULTRA MOBILE DEVICES - Arrangements for managing displays of ultra-mobile devices (UMD's). Automatically or manually, a small-mode interface on a UMD screen, wherein one application window is visible, is switched to a large-mode interface. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090243552 | MANAGEMENT OF FAST BATTERY CHARGING IN MOBILE DEVICES - For laptops or other mobile devices, a battery charging arrangement wherein fast-charging and/or slow-charging is governed by something other than a fixed, immovable battery level threshold. Particularly, a variable threshold is broadly contemplated herein which may be governed by any of a very wide variety of conceivable factors, including (but by no means limited to) information relating to a user's schedule or calendar, especially as regards “free” time when a user is not using a computer. Accordingly, if there is a long uninterrupted period of computer “downtime” (i.e., when a user is not using the computer), the battery level threshold below which fast-charging takes place can be lower. By the same token, for short periods of computer downtime, this threshold can be higher. In this manner, fast-charging is reserved only for the most compelling, time-based circumstances. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100082746 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WEB SITE DRIVEN COLLABORATIVE WEB BROWSING - The invention provides a system comprising: a CPU; a memory in communication with the CPU; instructions stored in the memory and executable by the CPU to establish a collaborative web browsing session, the instructions further comprising: instructions enabling at least one peer device to join the collaborative web browsing session at a web site hosted by an automated peer. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100083132 | PREVENTING REDIRECTION LOOPS DURING COLLABORATIVE WEB BROWSING - A system for preventing redirection loops during collaborative web browsing is provided comprising: a CPU; a memory in communication with the CPU; instructions stored in the memory and executable by the CPU to prevent redirects encountered during a collaborative web browsing session, the instructions further comprising: instructions enabling a device to join a collaborative web browsing session; instructions enabling detection of a redirection loop; and instructions enabling termination of the redirect loop. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100083135 | COLLABORATIVE WEB NAVIGATION USING DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL (DOM) BASED DOCUMENT REFERENCES - A system for collaborative web browsing is provided comprising: a CPU; a system memory in communication with said CPU; a display medium; and instructions stored in the system memory and executable by the CPU, the instructions comprising: enabling a device to join a collaborative web browsing session; enabling a data navigation module to provide, upon an object appearing upon the display medium being selected by a user, outgoing navigation data that enables a rendering of the object to be distinguished from other objects rendered upon at least one other display medium of at least one other device. | 04-01-2010 |
