  • Patent number: 10200328
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.

  • Patent number: 10154385
    Abstract: In implementations of creating a communication group, a mobile device can receive a selection to enable communication of location information between devices that correspond to entities from a group of entities associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device can receive location information that describes a physical location or proximity of the devices that correspond to the entities, and present in a user interface on a display device, a visual representation that indicates at least one of the entities is at a location within a pre-set distance of the mobile device. A communication group can be created that includes the entities selected from the group of entities associated with the user of the mobile device. The mobile device can also communicate the location information of the mobile device to all of the devices that correspond to the entities as a group communication based on the communication group.

  • Patent number: 9703452
    Abstract: A mobile communications device user interface is described. In an implementation, a method is implemented by a computing device that includes displaying content in conjunction with a first level of a hierarchical menu in a user interface on a display device of the computing device. Responsive to receipt of an input to navigate to a second level of the hierarchical menu that is a sublevel of the first level, the second level in displayed conjunction with the content on the display device, the content having a reduced display richness when displayed in conjunction with the second level than when displayed in conjunction with the first level.

  • Patent number: 9578468
    Abstract: This document describes tools capable of enabling users of mobile communication devices to create communication groups quickly and easily. With such a communication group a user may call, text, or instant message all persons in the group at once by selecting the communication group rather than each person in the group. In one embodiment, the tools enable a user to build a communication group by dragging and dropping indicators for persons he or she knows from one area of a screen into another area. In another embodiment, the tools automatically collect persons from those that the user knows based on one or more criteria. The user may then easily create a communication group of those collected persons, such as by tapping on an area of a mobile device's display.

  • Publication number: 20160360024
    Abstract: Mobile communications devices are described. In an implementation, a mobile communications device includes a first housing that is approximately square and that includes a display device. The mobile communications device also includes a second housing that is approximately square, includes a keyboard and is rotatable with respect to the first housing at respective corners of the first and second housing. The second housing is rotatable with respect to the first housing between a first configuration in which the first housing substantially covers the second housing such that the keyboard is covered and a second configuration in which the keyboard is exposed.

  • Publication number: 20140282191
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating enhanced calendar views. In an implementation, an initial range in a series of calendar units is presented in a calendar view. An initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range is also presented. Responsive to a user input, a navigation effect is presented with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units.

  • Publication number: 20140282248
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating enhanced views of information management applications. In an implementation, a suitable computing system or systems presents a link to a dynamic menu within a perspective of an active module of various modules in an information management application. In response to an indication of interest generated with respect to the link, the computing system presents the dynamic menu which includes various dynamic icons. Each of the icons provides update information and a link associated with a corresponding module of the various modules in the information management application.

  • Publication number: 20080172715
    Abstract: A portable processing device or system may permit a user to access a resource when a certain number of keys are present, according to an authentication policy and a context in which the certain number of keys are provided. In some contexts fewer or no keys may be required, while in other contexts more keys may be required. The authentication policy may be adaptable, such that a precautionary action may be taken when a previously unused combination of keys and a context are used. Further, the authentication policy may require a fewer number of keys close to a time of a last successful authentication and may require a larger number of keys as time passes since the last successful authentication. In some embodiments, a type of visual feedback of entered password text may change based on a security level.
