  • Patent number: 9524573
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for manipulating and/or mapping tiles of graphical object data are provided. For example, a method for manipulating an original tile of graphical data may include generating a mirrored copy of the original tile by mirroring the original tile with respect to a first side of the original tile, superimposing the mirrored copy on the original tile, erasing a first portion of the superimposed mirrored copy of the original tile, and blending at least some of the remaining portion of the superimposed mirrored copy of the original tile with the original tile to create a manipulated tile. The manipulated version of the original tile may be patterned (e.g., in an extensible manner) along a layer of a virtual canvas that may have various aspect ratios, while maintaining a seamless or fluid transition between adjacent tiles.

  • Publication number: 20160357358
    Abstract: Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that use applications windows. Because a user may use one or more instances of a particular application or multiple applications at once, application windows are useful tools for organizing items stored in electronic devices and using features provided by various applications. A user may need to manipulate, organize, configure and/or resize application windows. Some methods for manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows require a sequence of user inputs that navigate in a menu system. For example, with these methods, a user may need to select a user interface object in display a menu and/or perform one or more actions on the selected user interface object associated with one or more application windows. The various methods disclosed herein streamline manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows.

  • Publication number: 20160259517
    Abstract: An electronic device displays, on a display, a map that is associated with a first orientation. The electronic device receives a touch input on a touch-sensitive surface, and, in response to receiving the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, rotates the map on the display in accordance with the touch input. While rotating the map on the display in accordance with the touch input, in response to determining that a displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the first orientation of the map, the electronic device generates a first tactile output.

  • Publication number: 20160259496
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements; detects a user input on a touch-sensitive surface that includes detecting a contact at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element; and, in response: if the user input satisfies menu-display criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the contact has an intensity above a first intensity threshold, displays a first menu overlaid on the user interface; and, if the user input satisfies action criteria, wherein the action criteria are capable of being satisfied when the intensity of the contact is below the first intensity threshold, initiates performance of an action associated with the respective user interface element without displaying the first menu.

  • Publication number: 20160259495
    Abstract: An electronic device: displays, on a display, a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements; and detects a press input by a contact on a touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element. In response to detecting the press input, the device: if the respective user interface meets first action criteria including a criterion that the respective user interface element is associated with a single option associated with the press input, initiates performance of an action corresponding to the single option; and, if the respective user interface element meets second action criteria including a criterion that the respective user interface element is associated with a first number of options associated with the press input, where the first number is greater than one, displays a first menu overlaid on the user interface with a first set of selectable options.

  • Patent number: 9075884
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for collecting webpages/links from communications and documents for later reading is disclosed. User interface elements allow a user to select multiple webpages or links at once for addition to a reading list or other data structure for later reading. The selection mode may be entered using a variety of inputs. Animated user interface elements indicate the progress of adding the webpages or links to the data structure.

  • Publication number: 20140365957
    Abstract: A set of user interfaces for a data processing system that operates with two or more display devices coupled to the system. In one embodiment, in response to moving a first window between two displays, the first window is displayed, as it straddles the two displays, differently on the two displays. For example, while a reference point (e.g. a cursor) on the window remains on a first display, a first portion of the window on the first display is displayed normally while a second portion on the second display is displayed with more translucence (more transparency) than the first portion; when the references point crosses to the second display, the first portion becomes more translucent than the second portion.

  • Patent number: 8869050
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and graphical user interfaces are provided for showing calendar events that are not visible on screen. Event objects are shown when an event is within a viewable time range, but the event object is partially drawn on screen (e.g. clipped) when the event is not within a viewable time range. The displayed parts of event objects indicating off-screen event can stack on top of each other to provide information about a number of off-screen events for a particular day. With the events clipped and stacked, a user has a visual indicator that there are events off screen for a particular day. As a user scrolls to the time of the event, the event can completely reveals itself.

  • Publication number: 20120320716
    Abstract: Electronic calendar views are disclosed that include color-coded event density. In some implementations, a number of colors are used to indicate event density in calendar views. Headers of the calendar views can also be color-coded. Color-coding can include coloring day backgrounds or day numbers.
