  • Patent number: 10635296
    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.

  • Patent number: 10448111
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for content projection. For example, a communication connection may be established between a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) of a user and a secondary device (e.g., a television). The primary device may identify an interest of the user to view content on the secondary device (e.g., photos for a recently attended concert). The primary device may retrieve the content (e.g., local photos on the smart phone and/or photos remotely retrieved from a social network). The primary device may project a rendering of the content onto a secondary display of the secondary device (e.g., the smart phone may send the rendering over the communication connection to the television for display).

  • Patent number: 10277649
    Abstract: A user may interact with a collection of devices that each exhibit particular device properties. Where each device executes and presents an isolated computing environment, inconsistencies may arise in the user interaction by the user with different devices. Alternatively, a terminal server may present a computing environment to various auxiliary devices, but such presentation may fail to utilize some device properties of some devices, and/or may present a computing environment that is not suitable for some devices. Instead, a primary device of the device collection may adapt a primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment for each auxiliary device, based upon its device properties. Upon receiving a request to execute an application, the primary device may execute the application within the auxiliary computing environment, and may adapt the application based upon the device properties. The primary device may stream each auxiliary computing environment to the respective auxiliary device.

  • Patent number: 10133324
    Abstract: Examples described herein provide a thermal hardware mitigation experience for a computing device executing multiple applications. Thermal signals identifying thermal conditions for the device are processed and, based on those signals, a hardware mitigation user experience may be generated to prompt user interaction in order to mitigate a thermal hardware condition.

  • 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.
