  • Combining interfaces of shell applications and sub-applications
    Patent number: 9665381
    Abstract: A system comprises storage that includes a shell application and a sub-application that is adapted to provide a functionality to the shell application. The system also comprises processing logic coupled to the storage and adapted to execute the shell application and the sub-application. The processing logic generates a first graphical user interface (GUI) using the sub-application and generates a second GUI using the shell application. The processing logic displays on a display the first GUI superimposed onto the second GUI. The processing logic captures input provided using the first GUI and provides the input to the sub-application.

  • Bringing user attention to guidance information presented on a display device
    Patent number: 8984403
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for bringing user attention to guidance information presented on a display device. These methods and systems comprise displaying guidance information in an initial animation mode, receiving a first user input in response to the displayed guidance information, determining whether the first user input satisfies validation criteria for responses to the guidance information, and displaying the guidance information in an altered animation mode when the first user input fails to satisfy the validation criteria.
