  • Patent number: 11422681
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe an application command control user interface menu to facilitate user interaction between a user and a mobile application. An application command control menu is displayed on a display screen of a processing device. An input may be received into an application canvas of a launched application. The application canvas may be positioned above the application command control menu on the display screen. In response to a received input into the application canvas, a soft input keyboard application may be displayed. The soft input keyboard application may display below the application command control menu on the display screen. A selection may be received in the application command control menu. In response to the received selection, display of the application command control menu may be expanded to replace display on the soft input keyboard application on the display screen. Other examples are also described.

  • Publication number: 20150378600
    Abstract: A context menu in an application user interface displays a context indicator in response to user interaction that places an insertion pointer or selects content in the application user interface. The context indicator is configured to invoke a floating menu having a set of contextual commands. The contextual commands of the floating menu include a parent command that is configured to open a submenu. The submenu includes a plurality of submenu commands associated with the parent command. The context menu displays a selectable button appended to the context indicator without presenting the underlying floating menu and submenu. The selectable button is configured to execute a predicted command that corresponds to one of a contextual command of the floating menu or a submenu command of the submenu.

  • Patent number: 9009630
    Abstract: A note-capture application is disclosed that allows notes to be displayed on the lock screen. In one embodiment, a note-capture application can be invoked when a mobile device is in an above-lock state. Note data can be captured using the note-capture application, and the captured data can be persistently displayed on the lock screen. A user can perform a unique gesture from the lock screen to invoke the note-capture application. In another embodiment, multiple input modes can be available for note data capture. For example, voice data, text data, camera data, etc. can all be used to capture notes for display on the lock screen.

  • Publication number: 20130018325
    Abstract: A flange extender for use with an injection device is described. The flange extender includes first and second flange extender pieces and a locking mechanism to lock the first and second flange extender pieces to one another. In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes each piece having a locking finger extending from the piece and an aperture adapted to receive the locking finger. The first and second flange extender pieces extend in a direction transverse to a main axis of the injection device to thereby provide a surface area for manual manipulation of the injection device during an injection. The first and second flange extender pieces also attach to each other on opposite sides of the injection device.

  • Patent number: 7869347
    Abstract: A method for detecting and managing a futile neighbor state loop during link state routing is disclosed. The method can include reading a threshold parameter for link state routing, wherein the threshold parameter indicates a number of routing attempts, and performing link state routing to a node via a primary interface. The method can further include detecting a futile neighbor state loop during link state routing to the node via the primary interface by detecting a number of routing attempts that has reached the threshold parameter and detecting an available backup interface to the node. The method can further include suspending the primary interface to the node and switching routing to the backup interface.

  • Publication number: 20100097925
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for automated interface switching among routing interfaces. In the solution, a routing daemon can be responsive to operator commands. Routing can be performed in a restricted parallel multi-access interface configuration comprised of a primary and backup interface for conveying routing protocol traffic. The backup interface can be utilized only when the associated primary interface is unavailable. The commands can include a suspend and an activate interface command able to modify the operation of one or more interfaces at the application layer. The suspend interface command can suppress network routing protocol traffic over a specified primary interface and route the traffic over the backup interface. The backup interface can then be designated as the primary interface for which the routing traffic can be conveyed. The activate interface command can activate a suspended interface and can be designated as a backup interface when a primary interface is available.
