  • Patent number: 11546443
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system configured to provide a connected focus time experience that spans multiple different devices. The connected focus time experience is enabled via an account the user leverages to log into the multiple different devices. For instance, when the user has configured a focus mode for a focus session on a first device (e.g., a laptop device) into which the user is logged via the account, the account can be then used to identify a second device (e.g., a smartphone device) into which the user is also logged via the account. Consequently, an instruction can be provided to configure the focus mode for the focus session on the second device. The focus mode prevents notifications from being output during the focus session, so user distractions and interruptions can be avoided or limited.

  • Patent number: 11137894
    Abstract: A foldable computing device with multiple display regions repositions UI components of an application. A repositioned UI component may be easier to access, discover, and manipulate. In some configurations, a UI component is repositioned to be closer to the thumbs of a user holding the device. In other configurations, a UI component is repositioned to avoid inter-region gestures. In other configurations, a UI component is repositioned to a location that is less likely to move or shift the device by the physical force of touching the component. A content optimization engine may determine whether to reposition a UI component based on a number of factors, including a posture of the device, a size of the component, a complexity of user interaction needed to use the component, how often the component is used, etc.
