  • Patent number: 11079931
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for presenting a multi-view user interface in which a plurality of application interfaces are displayed simultaneously. An example in-vehicle computing system includes a display, a user input interface, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to present a multi-view user interface including a plurality of simultaneously-displayed application interfaces displaying content for different applications, each application interface filling at least one cell of a grid. The instructions are further executable to detect user input requesting the application interfaces to be resized, the user input indicating an updated location of at least one boundary of at least two of the application interfaces, and adjust the size of each application interface by snapping the at least one boundary of the at least two application interfaces to a nearest cell boundary of a cell of the grid.
