  • Patent number: 8887061
    Abstract: The magnifier interface system determines a level of user activity with a screen magnifier user interface and determines a current user interface mode. If the system is currently in the full mode and the level of user activity indicates user interaction with the screen magnifier user interface below a threshold, then the system transitions from the full mode to the watermark mode based on the lack of determined user activity. If the system is currently in the watermark mode and the level of user activity indicates user interaction with the screen magnifier user interface, then the system transitions from the watermark mode to the full mode based on the determined user activity. Thus, the magnifier interface system presents a full user interface that transitions into a smaller watermark interface when not in use to take up less screen real restate yet remain available to users.

  • Publication number: 20140298219
    Abstract: Techniques for visual selection and grouping are described. In at least some embodiments, multiple visuals can be selected and grouped such that visuals can be manipulated as a group and various actions can be applied to visuals as a group. For example, in response to a user placing a group of visuals in a display region, the visuals can be arranged in the display region based on a specific arrangement order. According to one or more embodiments, visuals can be rearranged to reduce gaps between visuals, such as to present a consolidated view of visuals and to conserve display space. Visuals can be grouped together (e.g., based on user selection), and selectable options presented that are selectable to apply various actions to the grouped visuals.
