  • Patent number: 10599299
    Abstract: A digital medium environment is described to recommend a transition from use of a limited-functionality application to a full-functionality application. As described herein, the limited-functionality application includes a subset of the functionalities of the full-functionality application. Interactions by a user with a limited-functionality application to generate or edit a creation (e.g., a photo, video, or document) are monitored. Based on the interactions, it is determined that the user needs a functionality for the creation that is not available in the limited-functionality application but is supported by the full-functionality application. A recommendation to transition the creation to the full-functionality application that supports the functionality is displayed. The recommendation may include a selectable control that, when selected, causes the creation to be transitioned to the full-functionality application to enable the functionality to be applied to the creation.

  • Patent number: 10592078
    Abstract: In a method for supplying a graphical user interface in a vehicle, at least one object for representing a first subset of total information is graphically displayed on a display area in at least one first display mode. An operating intention of a user is detected. In addition, a relative position of the user with respect to the display area is ascertained. When the operating intention of the user has been detected, the object is transferred into a second display mode, in which the object is displayed perspectively or three-dimensionally pivoted about an axis at a pivoting angle in the direction of the relative position. In addition, a device is adapted for providing a graphical user interface.
