Publication number: 20150040057Abstract: Techniques are described to implement a user interface for a display of a mobile device. In an implementation, the user interface may include a chromeless menu configured to be displayed when menu-based user input to the mobile device is available; a system tray configured to be displayed on the display when a notice containing status information affecting operability of the mobile device is available; and a task switcher module operable to cause a chromeless overlay be displayed over an active application being executed by the mobile device to allow selection of one or more applications of the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2014Publication date: February 5, 2015Inventors: Michael A. Smuga, Darren A. Apfel, Jason S. Schneekloth, Ryan M. Haning, Michael J. Kruzeniski, Michael K. Henderlight, Brian M. Wilson, Paula Guntaur, Chad A. Voss

Patent number: 8892170Abstract: Unlock screen and notification techniques are described. In an implementation, an unlock screen is displayed by a mobile communications device that indicates that the mobile communications device is locked. If an input is detected to remove the lock by dragging across a Y-axis of the display device, an animation is displayed that gives an appearance that the unlock screen is being removed and the lock on the mobile communications device is removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stephanie E. Teng, Jinsheng Shi, Albert Shen, Ryan M. Haning, Paula Guntaur, Michael J. Kruzeniski

Publication number: 20140258933Abstract: An out-space actuator is selected to access an out-space user interface for a document editor program. An out-space actuator is associated with an in-space user interface having a displayed document. When the out-space actuator is selected, an out-space user interface is displayed that includes an expanded feature selection surface. The out-space user interface may be used to display one or more status panes for providing status information about a document being edited in the in-space user interface. Application features for affecting changes to a given document's status may be exposed in the out-space interface in proximity to associated status information. An out-space communication user interface (UI) component may be temporarily displayed in the document in-space user interface to communicate document status information that is presently available in the out-space user interface. A message bar may be displayed in the in-space user interface for communicating information from the out-space user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Marina Dukhon, Paula Guntaur, Jesse Clay Satterfield, Amy E.

Publication number: 20140094226Abstract: Location-based display characteristics in a user interface are described. In an implementation, a determination is made by mobile communications device that icon is to be displayed at a particular location in the user interface. A display characteristic is applied by the mobile communications device that is defined for the particular location such that a display of the icon is changed. The icon is displayed having an applied display characteristic on the display device of the mobile communications device at the particular location in the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathan D. Friedman, Paula Guntaur, Michael K. Henderlight, Rosanna H. Ho, Michael J. Kruzeniski, Michael A. Smuga, Stephanie E. Teng, Chad Aron Voss, Brian M. Wilson

Patent number: 8411046Abstract: Column organization of content is described. In an implementation, a mobile communications device configures a user interface to include a plurality of representations of content arranged according to a plurality of columns that permits navigation between first and second said columns upon detection of a gesture input via a touchscreen of the mobile communications device. The user interface is displayed on a display device of the mobile communications device. The first column is configured for vertical navigation through each of the plurality of representations and the second column includes a filtered subset of the plurality of representations such that at least one of the representations is included in the first column and not the second column.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael J.
