Abstract: A system for generating a user interface described herein can include a processor to detect a type of the system based on hardware components residing within the system or coupled to the system and determine a user interface manager to execute based on the type of the system. The processor can also execute the user interface manager to generate a user interface for the system, wherein the type of the user interface manager comprises a plurality of rules to indicate a layout of the user interface.

Abstract: Graphic elements may be rendered on an interface. An original view of a user interface is presented on at least one display. The user interface initially includes content presented on one or more of a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. In response to receiving a first input, the user interface in presented in an edit view that includes presenting a menu that includes a plurality of selectable graphic elements. A second input is received that selects a graphic element of the plurality of selectable graphic elements, and third input is received to exit the edit view and present an updated version of the original view. The updated view includes the content presented on the one or more of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer and the selected graphic element presented on the second layer.

Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing interactive text preview. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) establishes a communication channel with a secondary device (e.g., a television). The primary device projects an application interface, of an application hosted on the primary device, to a secondary display of the secondary device. An interrogation connection is established with a text entry canvas of the application interface. The primary device listens through the interrogation connection to identify text input data directed towards the text entry canvas. An interactive text preview interface, populated with textual information derived from the text input data, is displayed on a primary display of the primary device. In this way, the user may naturally preview text entry through the primary device (e.g., and does not have to look up to the television to see what is being typed).

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for gesture navigation for a secondary user interface. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) may establish a communication connection with a secondary device having a secondary display (e.g., a television). The primary device may project a rendering of a secondary user interface, of a secondary application executing on the primary device (e.g., a photo app), to the secondary display of the secondary device. The secondary user interface may comprise a user interface element (e.g., a photo carousel). The primary device may receive a continuous motion gesture input (e.g., a looping gesture on a touch display of the smart phone). The primary device may visually traverse, through the secondary user interface, one or more content items of the user interface element based upon the continuous motion gesture input (e.g., scroll through photos of the photo carousel).

Abstract: The manner of presenting a user interface of an application may be significant in many respects. A user interface may be suitable only for some devices (e.g., buttons may be selectable by a pointer, but not on a touch-sensitive display; textboxes may appear too large or too small on different displays), and may satisfy only some user interactions (e.g., a map interface may be usable on a laptop by a stationary user, but not usable in a vehicle while the user is driving). Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating a user interface that is adapted both for the interaction component properties of the device, and the interaction criteria of the user interaction with the user interface. A device may choose the presentation of each element of a user interface based on such information, and generate a user interface matching both the device and the user interaction with the application.
