Abstract: Example embodiments relate to sharing of user interface objects via a shared space in a data sharing application. In example embodiments, a data sharing application provides a shared space. A user command may then be received to transfer a respective UI object from each of a plurality of applications to the shared space. In response, each transferred UI object may be displayed within the shared space, such that each displayed UI object retains associated functionality from the corresponding application within the shared space. Finally, each UI object in the shared space may be shared with a plurality of users granted access to the shared space.

Abstract: A system and method for providing notifications on a mobile computing device are disclosed. The method comprises enabling multiple applications that operate on the mobile computing device to generate notifications in response to event occurrences. A plurality of notification representations are presented in a notification bar on the display. The plurality of notification representations are individually generated by a corresponding application in response to an event occurrence. The plurality of notification representations are represented in a first portion of the notification bar and with a number that represents how many notification representations from an application have been generated and not dismissed by a user.

Abstract: A selection feature to enable a user to adjust a displayed value is provided on a display of a computing device. The selection feature includes a closed track and a selectable button that is moveable along the closed track. A user input is received from one or more sensors of the computing device that detect an object or a finger on a region of the display that provides the selection feature. The selection feature adjusts the displayed value in a first manner in response to the user selecting and moving the selectable button along the closed track, and adjusts the displayed value in a second manner in response to the user selecting a location on the closed track away from the selectable button. The displayed value is adjusted based on the user input.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to drag and drop application launches within a user interface (UI). In example embodiments, a command is received by which a UI object currently displayed in a window of a first application is dragged from the window and dropped onto a home screen of an operating system. A second application suitable for displaying an object type of the UI object is then identified. Finally, the second application is launched in a new window in response to the drop of the UI object on the home screen, such that the new window displays the UI object.
