Patent number: 11513756Abstract: In some implementations, a user device can coordinate adjustments to a composite GUI generated in cooperation with an accessory device that presents the composite graphical user interface. For example, the user device can receive configuration data that defines the maximum GUI display area (e.g., size, dimensions) of the accessory device, various view areas within the GUI display area of the accessory device into which the user device can render GUIs, and/or transitions between the various view areas. The user device can generate a display buffer based on the maximum GUI display area, generate a graphical user interface in an area of the buffer corresponding to a current view area specified by the accessory device, and send to the accessory device video frames corresponding to the display buffer. The accessory device can generate a composite GUI based on the received video frames that include the user device generated GUI.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian D.

Patent number: 11487406Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for a windowing container that enables two or more windows associated with application(s) to be grouped within the container such that the windows may behave or function uniformly as a single window. For example, responsive to a request to group two windows, a container may be generated to include the windows arranged based on one or more rules and features enabling group functions associated with the container to be performed. When a group function is performed on the container, the function may be performed to each of the windows arranged therein as if they were a single window. As new windows are grouped within or existing windows are released from the container, the container and/or windows may be rearranged based on the rules. A state of the container may be stored to enable subsequent invocation of the container after closing.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Samantha Madeline Song, Anna Marion Pfoertsch, Roberth Karman, Nihar Niranjan Shah
