20100293501 | Grid Windows - Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward facilitating multi-user input on large format displays. In situations where multiple users may want to work individually on separate content, or individually on the same content, embodiments of the present invention provide an interface allowing a user or users to segment a display in a way to create isolated areas in which multiple users may manipulate content independently and concurrently. | 11-18-2010 |
20100295794 | Two Sided Slate Device - Embodiments of the present invention provide a dual-sided multi-touch computing device that offers the advantages of a keyboard in addition to the conveniences of a slate device. The dual-sided multi-touch computing device may be utilized in two orientations; one side is a multi-touch slate device, and the alternate side is a multi-touch display keyboard. The device is configured with an orientation-recognition device, so that it may be configured based on its orientation. The present invention may be utilized as a stand alone personal computer or as a peripheral device in conjunction with other devices. | 11-25-2010 |
20100299060 | Timed Location Sharing - Rule-based location sharing may be provided. A location determining device, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled device, may receive a request to share the location. A rule may be used to determine whether to share the location with the requestor. If the rule allows the location to be shared, the location may be sent to the requestor. The location may be relayed through a third party server, which may be operative to evaluate the rule before sharing the location with the requestor. | 11-25-2010 |
20100306004 | Shared Collaboration Canvas - A computing system causes a plurality of display devices to display user interfaces containing portions of a canvas shared by a plurality of users. The canvas is a graphical space containing discrete graphical elements located at arbitrary locations within the canvas. Each of the discrete graphical elements graphically represents a discrete resource. When a user interacts with a resource in the set of resources, the computing system modifies the canvas to include an interaction element indicating that the user is interacting with the resource. The computer system then causes the display devices to update the user interfaces such that the user interfaces reflect a substantially current state of the canvas. In this way, the users may be able to understand which ones of the users are interacting with which ones of the resources. | 12-02-2010 |
20100306018 | Meeting State Recall - Meeting state recall may be provided. A meeting context may be saved at the end of and/or during an event. The meeting context may comprise, for example, a hardware configuration, a software configuration, a recording of the meeting, and/or data associated with a subject of the meeting. The meeting context may be associated with an ongoing project and may be restored at a subsequent meeting associated with the ongoing project. | 12-02-2010 |

20080320413 | Dynamic user interface for previewing live content - A dynamic user interface for previewing live content includes multiple tiles. Information for multiple pieces of live content available from a gallery is obtained, and this information is presented in the multiple tiles of the user interface in accordance with a current user interface layout. In accordance with one aspect, this current user interface layout changes automatically over time as the user interface is displayed. In accordance with another aspect, one or more of the multiple tiles is displayed in the user interface more prominently than the other tiles, and which information is to be displayed in the one or more tiles is based at least in part on a received fee. | 12-25-2008 |
20100175031 | DISCOVERY OF MEDIA CONTENT VIA USER INTERFACE - Embodiments related to facilitating the discovery of media content are disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method for displaying information related to media items in a graphical user interface. The method includes displaying one or more available media items in a view of the graphical user interface, and displaying a control operable to display an exploratory overlay related to a media item. The method further comprises receiving a user selection of the control for a selected media item, and in response displaying the exploratory overlay, the exploratory overlay includes a visual representation of the selected media item and visual representations of a plurality of related media items that are related to the selected media item. | 07-08-2010 |
20120023442 | DYNAMIC USER INTERFACE FOR PREVIEWING LIVE CONTENT - A dynamic user interface for previewing live content includes multiple tiles. Information for multiple pieces of live content available from a gallery is obtained, and this information is presented in the multiple tiles of the user interface in accordance with a current user interface layout. In accordance with one aspect, this current user interface layout changes automatically over time as the user interface is displayed.
