  • Publication number: 20190129615
    Abstract: A device and method are provided for enabling repeat performance of a prior performed task within an application. Usage of an application to perform a task via a mobile device is monitored. Configurations of the task via user interfaces (UIs) associated with the usage of the application are determined. A context of the mobile device is identified, including one or more conditions of the mobile device under which the application was activated to perform the task. A current context of the mobile device is tracked, including one or more conditions in which the mobile device is operating, and a relevance between the context and the current context is determined. In response to the relevance determined, a mobile UI is presented via the mobile device, to cause a repeat of performing the task with the configurations without activating at least one of the UIs associated with the usage of the application.

  • Patent number: 10031642
    Abstract: Methods and systems for configuring a tab in a tab control are described. An application creates the tab control, and the user is presented with a tab control including multiple tabs. At least one special tab includes a text label that suggests it can be user defined, such as “Other.” When the user presses this tab, the tab shows a pressed state momentarily and then morphs into a text field. The user can then type in text, and the text is recorded for that tab. If the user decides that he or she wants to change the text in the special tab, the user can select the special tab again to enter new text.
