  • Patent number: 11941418
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing improved rendering of graphical user interfaces for remote applications executing within remote sessions. A remote session client that renders the graphical user interface (GUI) for a remote application is configured to detect certain mouse events that would trigger window move events. In doing so, the remote session client may handle rendering the window GUI locally rather than wait for window move events from the remote application. The remote session client may be further configured to predict using calculated resize patterns how the window content image changes while the remote application's window is being resized.

  • Patent number: 11922004
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Patent number: 11900510
    Abstract: Glyph sizing control techniques are described for digital content that provide insight regrading a true size of glyphs when rendered using a respective font and also leverages this insight to control font sizing and alignment. In one example, a glyph sizing system outputs a plurality of options to specify a unit-of-measure to control an actual size of a glyph as rendered in a user interface. Examples of units of measure include a capital height, x-height, ICF-height, dynamic height, object height, width, and other spans along a dimension, e.g., based on ascent, descent, or other. These units of measure are leveraged by the glyph sizing system to surface information regarding an actual size of respective glyphs for that unit-of-measure and control glyph sizing and arrangement.
