Patent number: 8984448Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Mathias Lewin, Jens Ola Andersson, Peter Ljungkrantz, Christoffer Gurell, Johan Mowitz

Publication number: 20130285929Abstract: A control circuit detects an initial interaction between a touch-sensitive surface and a stylus and responsively automatically displays a corresponding fresh electronic ink writing façade. By one approach the initial interaction can comprise a non-touching interaction. The fresh electronic ink writing façade can comprise a representation of an unmarked sheet of paper. If desired, upon detecting the initial interaction, the control circuit can first determine whether an electronic ink writing façade already exists for the presently-displayed content. When true, the control circuit can automatically display at least a portion of the already existing electronic ink writing façade. Otherwise, the control circuit can provide the aforementioned fresh electronic ink writing façade.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: Wolfgang Michael THEIMER, Ilya Alexander ELIASHEVSKY, James Allen HYMEL, Mathias LEWIN, Roy Robert George WILSON
