Patent number: 11797164Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying content for a first web page in a first pane in a maximized state on a mobile device, receiving a touch input on a navigation control associated with the first pane, and responsive to receiving the touch input, displaying a second web page in a second pane on the mobile device, the second pane being in a minimized state in a dock area. The dock area can overlay the first pane in the maximized state and the minimized state of the second pane can display a smaller version of the second web page than the second pane in a maximized state. In some examples the second web page updates content in parallel with the first web page.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alan Lee Rogers, Ricardo Escutia, Sun Kyung Park, Michael Oh, Renwei Wu, Min-sang Choi, Stephen Joseph McDonald

Publication number: 20230176719Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying a current pane in a maximized state and at least a first pane in a minimized state in a dock area. The current pane is a top of a stack list and displays content associated with a first location and the first pane is in a dock list and displays content associated with a second location. The minimized state for a pane is a scaled down version of the maximized state for the pane, the scale applying to the content for the pane and a size of the pane. The method also includes receiving a drag input on the first pane in the dock area and scaling the size of the first pane according to proximity to the dock area.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Alan Lee Rogers, Ricardo Escutia, Sun Kyung Park, Michael Oh, Renwei Wu, Min-sang Choi, Stephen Joseph McDonald

Patent number: 11385785Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying content for a first active web page in a first pane on a display, the first active web page having a first hyperlink for a first target web page, and the first pane being displayed in a maximized state on the display. The method may also include receiving a long touch input on the first hyperlink, and, responsive to receiving the long touch input, opening the first target web page in a second pane, the second pane being displayed in a minimized state in a dock area of the display, wherein a minimized state is a scaled down version of a maximized state.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alan Lee Rogers, Ricardo Escutia, Sun Kyung Park, Michael Oh, Renwei Wu, Min-sang Choi, Stephen Joseph McDonald

Patent number: 10567574Abstract: Implementations of the present application relate to caller preview data and call messages based on caller preview data. In some implementations, a method includes sending, by a caller device, a call request to one or more callee devices, and establishing a connection to at least one callee device prior to receipt of an acceptance of the call request by the callee device. At least a portion of caller preview data is transmitted to the callee device over the connection prior to the receipt of the call acceptance. In response to determining that the at least a portion of the caller preview data has been transmitted for a particular time period without receipt of the acceptance of the call request, information is transmitted to instruct a call message to be stored on the callee device, where the call message includes at least a part of the caller preview data.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2019Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alan Lee Rogers, Richard Yuan-Ching Lo, Matthew Thomas Austin, Justin Uberti, Heidi Rafael Sales, Koa Metter, Anton Volkov

Patent number: 10122848Abstract: Implementations of the present application relate to caller previews for video calls. In some implementations, a method includes sending, by a caller device, a call request to a callee device and determining an identifier associated with the callee device. The method determines whether the identifier is associated with an address book of the caller device, and/or is in an outgoing call record of the caller device. An acknowledgment is received from callee device, and, upon receipt of the acknowledgment, a connection is established with the callee device. Based on determining that the identifier is associated with the address book and/or in the outgoing call record, at least a portion of a caller video is transmitted over the connection with the callee device. The caller video is transmitted prior to receipt of an acceptance of the call request from the callee device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Heidi Rafael Sales, Rebecca Michael, Koa Metter, Jason Cornwell, Alan Lee Rogers, Richard Yuan-Ching Lo, Anna Maria Jansson, Matthew Thomas Austin, Tyler Bahl, Minjae Lee, Justin Uberti, Amit Fulay

Patent number: 10104341Abstract: Implementations relate to providing animated user identifiers. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes determining that a video call over a communication network is connected between a first device associated with a first user and a second device associated with a second user. The method stores a set of multiple images that are received by the first device as part of the video call, and forms a motion clip including the set of multiple images and indicating a sequence of the set of multiple images for display. The method assigns the motion clip to a user identifier associated with the second user, and causes display of the motion clip to visually represent the second user in response to the user identifier being displayed in at least one user interface on the first device.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Koa Metter, Alan Lee Rogers, Jason Cornwell, Richard Yuan-Ching Lo, Rachel Ilan Simpson, Matthew Thomas Austin, Justin Uberti
