  • Publication number: 20230236720
    Abstract: Introduced here are split-screen implementation techniques that can allow a user to view and interact with the user interfaces of two or more applications simultaneously. Each of the two or more applications can be displayed within its own portion of two or more portions. A split-screen mode can be activated by a user by opening a split-screen application and selecting the applications to be used. Once within the split-screen mode, the user can customize the layout by adjusting the size of each portion and/or moving the application between the portions. Further, when within the split-screen mode, the user can share content from one application to another by selecting and dragging the content. The split-screen mode can also be implemented on a foldable device. The folding of the device can be used as a trigger to initiate split screen mode and the folding line can be used a border between portions.

  • Publication number: 20230143275
    Abstract: Introduced here are techniques for implementing a clip-board menu on a device. The clipboard menu can be superimposed on a display of the device while a user is operating the device. The clipboard menu can include options to share, edit, and save content. The user can actuate the clipboard menu by selecting content being displayed on the device. The user can then drag the selected content to one of the options within the clipboard menu. The share option allows the user to share the content with other contacts or applications. The edit option allows the user to edit and/or crop the content. For example, the user can change the appearance of the content or crop out certain portions of the content. The save option allows the users to save the content to short-term or long-term memory. The user can then access the content by summoning a clipboard interface.
