Patent number: 10133446Abstract: Providing context from a dynamic icon to an underlying application. A method includes displaying dynamically, at a dynamic icon, a plurality of context elements. Each of the context elements corresponds to an item available in an application underlying the dynamic icon. The method further includes receiving user input at the dynamic icon indicating a desire to open an application underlying the dynamic icon. The method further includes, providing to the application underlying the dynamic icon an indication of a context element that was being displayed at the dynamic icon when the user input was received.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nora I. Micheva, Matthew Gregory Hidinger, Andrew Tyler Bares

Publication number: 20160048319Abstract: Techniques for gesture-based access to a mixed view associated with an application representation are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is exposed by an operating system of a computing device. The user interface includes a concurrent display of a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable by a user to launch respective applications. Gesture-based techniques can be used to interact with an application representation to cause one or more visible targets to appear adjacent the representation. The individual targets are individually associated with some type of application functionality, e.g., a quick action or a deep link into content associated with the application. An individual target can then be selected, e.g., touch-selected, by a user to initiate the associated functionality.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nora I.

Publication number: 20160048294Abstract: Direct access application representation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is exposed by an operating system of a computing device. The user interface includes a concurrent display of a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable by a user to launch respective applications, at least one of the plurality of representations includes a concurrent display of a plurality of user-selectable targets for a respective application, and each of the plurality of user-selectable targets is selectable by a user to obtain direct access to a respective one of a plurality of application functionality of the respective application. Responsive to an input indicative of user selection of one of the plurality of user-selectable targets of the at least one representation of the respective application, the direct access is provided to the respective one of the plurality of application functionality of the respective application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nora I.
