Abstract: Methods and devices enable displaying selected portions of one or more webpages in user defined view windows presented on a computing device display desktop. A selected webpage may be rendered into a full-sized render buffer in order for a rendering engine to render all the elements properly. One or more view windows are created on the display desktop that show user selected portions of the render buffer. In this manner users can select portions of one or more websites for presentation on their computing device desktop, position the selected portions at their preferred locations.

Abstract: Methods and systems enable defining customized virtual keyboards on a touch sensitive surface, such as a touchscreen. Using learning algorithms, a computing device may learn the typing patterns of a user and “morph” the keys of a virtual keyboard into locations, sizes, and orientations that are comfortable for the user and which may reduce typing errors. A user may create a custom keypad layout by performing a series of key strokes on a touch sensitive surface. The computing device may correlate the touch locations to particular keys and generate keypad layout data that can be used to display the virtual keyboard and interpret touches on the touch sensitive surface. The computing device may monitor user typing activity and refine the keypad layout data based on detected or corrected typing errors. Keypad layout data may be exported to other devices to enable users to take their virtual keyboards with them.

Abstract: The methods and devices enable displaying image portions generated on a first computing device on a second computing device. A master helper app on the first device receives user content selections and computes bounding boxes on each. The master helper app may expand the system frame buffer to hold the selected content and cause the windows manager to direct applications to draw contents into the expanded frame buffer. The master helper app may invoke a slave helper app on the second device to receive the frame buffer contents. The slave helper app stores the received display data in a frame buffer so the image is displayed. Resizing, blending and partitioning processing of display content can be accomplished on either the first or second devices or on a third proxy device. Keystrokes on the second device can be translated into commands executed on the first device.
