The menu is presented in the GUI and each window be shown in a glanced state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. When the user focus shifts to a window, that window is presented in a focused state to also provide a selectable action that can be performed. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a selected state to further provide additional performable actions. The window can be pinned to the GUI and user control can automatically switch to another application.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Toru Yamamoto, Katsuya Hyodo, Kohichi Aoki, Robert E.
