In response to selection of a language variant character, the electronic device displays the character within the display window.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) system where at a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes, at an electronic device having an input interface and a display, receiving information relating to a current relative location of at least one other electronic device, displaying on the display a representation of the at least one other electronic device and its relative location, and receiving at the input interface user input associated with the displayed representation of the at least one other electronic device for communicating with the at least one other electronic device. The electronic device has up-to-date knowledge of the relative position of the at least one other device and displays this visually. Information may be sent to the at least one other electronic device in response to receiving the user input associated with the displayed representation of the at least one other electronic device.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) is presented in which a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine. The UI rendering engine receives the scene graph and data items associated with elements of the scene graph, and processes a rendering thread to render a UI in accordance with the scene graph and the data items, independently of further input from the client UI engine.

Abstract: Methods and devices for distributing and receiving content are provided. In one example aspect, a method comprises: receiving a command on a first electronic device to output content at an output device associated with a second electronic device; and in response to receiving the command to output content at the output device associated with the second electronic device: providing content access information from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, and adjusting a security state on the second electronic device.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) is presented in which a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine. The UI client engine processes a client thread to manage a scene graph. The UI rendering engine receives the scene graph and data items associated with elements of the scene graph, and processes a rendering thread to render a UI in accordance with the scene graph and the data items, independently of further input from the client UI engine.

Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for presenting, creating, and pausing a meeting session. The systems and methods create meeting-session data based at least in pan on one or more applications running on one or more devices connected to a meeting session. The systems and methods store muting-session data in a database. The systems and methods pause a meeting session such that the one or more devices are disconnected from the meeting session. The systems and methods resume a meeting session by configuring devices to run at least one of the one or more applications using the meeting-session data and joining configured devices to the resumed meeting session.
