Publication number: 20210275899Abstract: A computer system including a content monitoring service of a menu application is provided. The content monitoring service pre-fetches data for a target application based on a data template defined for the target application, and stores the pre-fetched data in a cache of the menu application. The menu application presents a window in a first presentation state, where the window corresponds to the target application and includes content based on the pre-fetched data in the cache. The computer system further includes a window application that, upon a user selection of the window, receives a copy of the pre-fetched data from the cache and presents the window in a second state based on the data template.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Katsuya Hyodo, Daisuke Kawamura, Kohichi Aoki, Joseph B. Lynch, Ken Yoshihiko Hirakawa, Daniel Morales, Robert Eldon Brown, Toru Yamamoto, Satoshi Kobayashi

Publication number: 20210278934Abstract: Techniques for previewing and presenting content of different applications in a user interface are described. In an example, a computer system determines a presentation template defined for a page application. The page application is configured to present a page about a target application, and the page includes a preview area and a body area. The system receives a user selection of an icon in a menu, whereby the icon corresponds to the target application. The system then presents in the user interface contents based on data stored in local memory, whereby the contents are presented according to an arrangement specified by the presentation template for the preview area. The system then receives a user request for additional information about the target application, and subsequently presents at least a portion of the body area of the page based on an execution of the page application.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Nick R. Hunter, Daisuke Kawamura, Katsuya Hyodo, Kohichi Aoki, Wivat Kruawongwanich, Toru Yamamoto

Publication number: 20210275919Abstract: A computer system and method for presenting windows in a dynamic menu are provided. The dynamic menu presents windows corresponding to an active application according to a first order, whereby windows are arranged based on recent interaction. The dynamic menu also presents windows corresponding to one or more inactive applications according to a second order, whereby windows are arranged based on relevance to a user of the computer system. The windows are presented in a first presentation state, and are expanded to a second presentation state or a third presentation state in response to user interaction. The third presentation state is reached via the second presentation state, thereby reducing latency and complexity of menu navigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Satoshi Kobayashi, Katsuya Hyodo, Toru Yamamoto

Patent number: 11093114Abstract: Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, a computer system determines a user context indicating a likely user interest in applications. Upon a user request for a menu, windows are added to a dynamic area of the menu based on the user context and correspond to the applications. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window be shown in a glanced state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. When the user focus shifts to a window, that window is presented in a focused state to also provide a selectable action that can be performed. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a selected state to further provide additional performable actions. The window can be pinned to the GUI and user control can automatically switch to another application.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Toru Yamamoto, Katsuya Hyodo, Kohichi Aoki, Robert E.
