  • Publication number: 20160085439
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160085430
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160088060
    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).
