Publication number: 20150121263Abstract: A method for navigating between display layers is applied in a display device. The display device includes a touch screen and a display panel. The method includes following steps of determining a target display layer according to whether a pinching gesture or an expanding gesture is performed. When the expanding gesture is performed, expanding a distance between relevant columns or rows of icons currently displayed to reveal icons on the target display layer, and visually compressing formerly-displayed icons to two opposite edges of the display panel during the expanding gesture. When the pinching gesture is performed, narrowing a distance between columns or rows of icons on the target display layer which are introduced respectively from the two opposite edges to cover columns and rows of old icons, and visually expanding the newly-introduced icons during the pinching gesture.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2014Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventor: WANG-HUNG YEH

Patent number: 9020565Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a user interface for mobile devices enable data and services available through the mobile device to be represented as a set of tiles maintained in a display space. The tiles provide a snapshot of the current state of content available through the mobile device without requiring any interaction by the user. The tiles and display space are customizable and can be dynamically updated to display content to a user. In addition, tiles can provide functionality, including simple tasks to a user without requiring the user to navigate away from the tile display space. Tiles can also provide quick access to start software applications. Tiles can be organized in the display space by the user or the tiles can be automatically grouped based upon associated metadata.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David W.
