  • User experience customization framework
    Patent number: 8732661
    Abstract: A user experience (“UX”) customization framework is provided that enables the customization of the UX provided by an operating system (“OS”) and application programs executing on the OS. The UX customization framework includes a UX platform engine that processes UX markup language files to create a customized UX. UX markup language files include data that is formatted according to a UX markup language. The UX markup language is a superset of the hypertext markup language that defines additional markup language tags for use in creating a customized UX, such as tags through which the functionality provided by an OS component or an application program that is exposed through an application programming interface may be utilized within the UX.

  • THREE-STATE TOUCH INPUT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110138284
    Abstract: A touch screen input device is provided which simulates a 3-state input device such as a mouse. One of these states is used to preview the effect of activating a graphical user interface element when the screen is touched. In this preview state touching a graphical user interface element on the screen with a finger or stylus does not cause the action associated with that element to be performed. Rather, when the screen is touched while in the preview state audio cues are provided to the user indicating what action would arise if the action associated with the touched element were to be performed.
