Publication number: 20200249807Abstract: Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Different views of are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and activities performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to transition the device from one configuration to another during its use. The elements that comprise the graphical user interface are configured to present a summarized view of available actions and content to simplify user interaction. The different views present different organizations of the interface elements and in some examples display only certain modes of content in order to reduce the number of options a user must navigate. Methods and systems for streamlining user interaction with computer content are also provided. Streamlining includes, for example, pre-configuring a user device based on received information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Applicant: LiTL LLCInventors: Yves Behar, Joshua Morenstein, Christopher Hibmacronan, Naoya Edahiro, Matthew David Day, Robert Sanford Havoc Pennington, Noah Bruce Guyot, Daniel Kuo, Jenea Boshart Hayes, Aaron Tang, Donald Francis Fischer, Christian Marc Schmidt, Lisa Strausfeld, David Livingstone Fore, John H.

Publication number: 20180232389Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for tracking local and remote file usage, and aggregating the resulting file usage statistics for presentation to a user. The operating system of a local computer can track and generate local file usage statistics, such as most recently used files and editing time. A Web application or service, such as an email or word processing application or service, can record the file usage data for a user's remote stored or served files. A file usage aggregator module, which can be located or resident in the operating system of the local computer or hosted at a Web site, can receive and combine the local and remote file usage statistics. The file usage aggregator module can generate a display of the aggregated file usage statistics, so that local and remote files are listed in a most-recently used order, on a combined basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Bryan William Clark, Robert Sanford Havoc Pennington, Colin Walters, Marina Zhurakhinskaya
