Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling an amount of data that is to be tethered during a tethering operation, including identifying electronic devices to which data is to be tethered, displaying a list of the identified electronic devices, displaying a setting screen for setting a maximum amount of data that is to be tethered during a tethering operation, in response to a user input through the setting screen, setting a maximum amount of data that may be tethered during the tethering operation, providing tethering usage of the data to the electronic devices, determining an amount of data tethered to the electronic devices, and automatically terminating the tethering operation with respect to the electronic devices in response to the amount of data tethered to the electronic devices corresponding to the set maximum amount of data to be tethered during the tethering operation.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe functionality for content selection that efficiently enables block copying of content from an executing application even when content is traditionally non-selectable in the executing application. An application may be executing, for example, on a computing device. Input may be received that triggers activation of a user interface for content selection. A layered view of the application and the user interface may be presented based on the received input. As an example, the layered view presents the user interface layered over the application. A block portion of content from the application may be selected based on a single action. Among other examples, the single action may be a non-continuous device click or a non-continuous touch input processed through the user interface. Additional action(s) for the selected block portion of content may be accessible through the user interface.
