Abstract: The present disclosure provides a user interface process flow for posting content on a display device. The disclosed techniques include a user interface process that initiates a connection that enables a host device to receive content from a guest device in a secure and discrete manner. The host device utilizes one or more graphical elements to invoke a user input at the host device to verify that the user is physically present at the host device. In response to the user input, a server generates a connection identifier that is communicated to, and displayed at, the host device. The connection identifier and an address of a server are displayed at, or otherwise communicated from, the host device to a guest device. The guest device uses the connection identifier to establish a connection with the host device for delivery of content from the guest device for display on the host device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system that enables manipulation of a persistent display of shared content. Content can be shared with a host device from a guest device. A rendering of the content is configured to be manipulated by a user at the host device. For instance, a rendering of the content can be resized, scaled, rotated and moved within a graphical user interface. Annotations can also be added to the rendering of the content. The rendering of the content can also be persistently and automatically displayed in response to a device operating in a predetermined state. The predetermined state can include, for example, a lock screen mode, a bulletin board mode, or a mode when application user interfaces are minimized. The rendering may be removed from a display when the device exits the predetermined state or when the device receives a specific command to remove the rendering.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system that controls an interim connection between two computing devices. The system first determines if a person if physically present at the host device by detecting an interaction with an input device attached to the host device. In response to the input, the system generates a connection identifier that is displayed at the host device. The display of a graphical element for communicating the connection identifier enables the guest device to receive the connection identifier. The graphical element can be a Quick Response (QR) code, bar code, text, etc. The guest device can send a connection request to the server using the connection identifier. In response to the request, the server verifies the connection identifier and establishes a data connection between the host device and the guest device. Data can be exchanged between the host device and the guest device via the server.

Abstract: Methods and system directed to displaying title bars at a display of a large-format display are provided. More specifically, the methods and systems enable a large-format display, which may be touch-enabled, to detect where a user is interacting with the display and to provide interactive controls in an accessible location to the user. For instance, the display may detect that a user is interacting with a particular quadrant of the display based on a user gesture on or near the display, based on a user interaction with an application window on a portion of the display, based on sensor detection of a user position relative to the display, or other suitable method of detection. Accordingly, the large-format display may provide interactive controls based on the detected quadrant, gesture location, or other interaction with an application window.
