Patent number: 10970026Abstract: Techniques for application launching in a multi-display device are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus such as a mobile device includes multiple interconnected display devices. According to one or more implementations, techniques described herein enable application launching behavior to be determined based on context information. For instance, based on a determined context condition of a multi-display client device, an application launch behavior is determined and used to launch an application on the client device.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Robert Joseph Disano, Paula Julia Chuchro, Jerome Jean-Louis Vasseur, Jason Michael Nelson, Scott David Schenone

Patent number: 10642827Abstract: Functionality is described herein for presenting representations of the z most recently presented items. The functionality also presents indicators which convey the presentation modes that were last used to present the z items. When the user selects one of the z items, the functionality presents it, as a default, using the last-used presentation mode, as conveyed by the indicator associated with this item. In one particular case, the last-used presentation mode corresponds to a full mode or a snap mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John E. Churchill, Joseph Wheeler, Jérôme Jean-Louis Vasseur, Thomas R. Fuller, Jason D. Giles

Patent number: 9720567Abstract: Multitasking and full screen menu contexts are described. In one or more implementations, an input is received to cause output of a menu in a user interface of a computing device. Responsive to this receipt, a determination is made as which of a plurality of portions displayed simultaneously in the user interface in a multitasking mode has focus, each of the plurality of portions corresponding to an output of a respective one of a plurality of applications. Responsive to the determination, output is caused of the menu as associated with the focused portion of the user interface and having a representation of at least one function based the focused portion, the representation selectable to cause performance of the function.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John E. Churchill, Joseph Wheeler, Jerome Jean-Louis Vasseur, Thomas Fuller, Jason Dean Giles

Publication number: 20150199086Abstract: Functionality is described for activating a service which presents a collection of items that are capable of being presented in a particular presentation mode. Upon a user's selection of one of them items, the functionality presents it in the particular mode. In one implementation, the particular presentation mode corresponds to a snap mode, in which the selected item is presented in a side display portion of a split-screen output presentation. The service itself constitutes an application which provides an output in the snap mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John E.
