  • Publication number: 20250060931
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that allow activation of and intuitive interactions with a companion-display mode for an electronic device. In one aspect, a first device receives a request to annotate content on the first device. In accordance with a determination that a second device is available for displaying the content in an annotation mode and has not been previously approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device displays a selectable option that, when selected, causes the first device to send an instruction to display the content in the annotation mode at the second device. When the electronic device is available for displaying the content in the annotation mode and has previously been approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device sends an instruction to the second device to display the content in the annotation mode automatically without further user intervention.

  • Patent number: 12216959
    Abstract: An example method includes, at a first electronic device that includes a display, displaying, on the display, a user interface that is associated with an application, the user interface displayed with a control user interface element for changing a display property of the user interface. The method includes, detecting an input directed to the control user interface element. The method also includes that in response to detecting the input, and while continuing to display the user interface, concurrently displaying on the display: a first selectable option for changing the display property of the user interface on the display of the first electronic device, and a second selectable option for requesting display at a second electronic device, distinct from the first electronic device, of a user interface that includes content from the user interface.

  • Patent number: 6023271
    Abstract: Systems and methods for programming applications with GUIs in accordance that do not require time-consuming and error-prone custom coding of GUI/internal variable synchronization routines, in general, and GUI/BO synchronization routines, in particular. An embodiment includes a plurality of classes for associating and synchronizing GUI components and BO attributes. The classes include: an inspector class, a selection class and a plurality of editor classes. The inspector class includes methods and data structures that enable a client application to bind a set of GUI components to the attributes of at least one business object. As a first step in associating and synchronizing GUI components and BO attributes a client application constructs an instance of the inspector class. The client application then passes the inspector instance a selection class instance that includes the business object(s) whose properties are to be synchronized with the GUI components.
