  • Patent number: 10261602
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to hop navigation on mobile devices are provided. A computing device can generate a first visible display displaying a first screen. The computing device can receive a request to activate movement between screens. After receiving the request to activate movement between screens, the computing device can: generate a second visible display of an expanded screen plane, where the second visible display includes a display of the first screen and at least a portion of a neighboring screen within the expanded screen plane, enable interaction with the expanded screen plane using one or more movements of the computing device to navigate to the neighboring screen, and receive a request to deactivate movement between screens. After receiving the request to deactivate movement between screens, the computing device can generate a third visible display displaying the neighboring screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7372863
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring and controlling operating modes in a network transceiver. In one embodiment, a computer system is associable with an Ethernet network, and comprises a processing unit, a memory and a transceiver. The transceiver comprises an encoder, a decoder and a controller. The controller controls operating modes of the transceiver, and, specifically, (i) negotiates a communications channel between the computer system and another computer system over the Ethernet network wherein the computer system enters one of a master state and a slave state, and (ii) repeatedly directs, in response to entering the master state or slave state, the encoder to encode data to be transmitted to the another computer in one of an industry-compliant mode and a custom mode until the encoded data is properly received by the other computer.
