However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations. Instead, the primary device may adapt the primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment according to a device property of the auxiliary device; partition the application into a primary application portion presented within the primary computing environment and an auxiliary application portion presented within the auxiliary computing environment; and transmit the auxiliary computing environment to the auxiliary device. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160088060 | GESTURE NAVIGATION FOR SECONDARY USER INTERFACE - One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for gesture navigation for a secondary user interface. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) may establish a communication connection with a secondary device having a secondary display (e.g., a television). The primary device may project a rendering of a secondary user interface, of a secondary application executing on the primary device (e.g., a photo app), to the secondary display of the secondary device. The secondary user interface may comprise a user interface element (e.g., a photo carousel). The primary device may receive a continuous motion gesture input (e.g., a looping gesture on a touch display of the smart phone). The primary device may visually traverse, through the secondary user interface, one or more content items of the user interface element based upon the continuous motion gesture input (e.g., scroll through photos of the photo carousel). | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160106074 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A HABITAT ENVIRONMENT - A system is provided for controlling an aquatic habitat. The system for includes a server, a bridge, and a habitat component. The server includes a database containing information associated with a habitat component. The server also includes a communication interface for transmitting operating data for the habitat component. The bridge has a first communication unit configured to communicate with the server communication interface and transmit the operating data received from the server to the habitat component. The habitat component has a second communication unit for receiving operating data from the bridge. | 04-21-2016 |
| 20160124583 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FACILITATING A REMOTE DESKTOP REDRAWING SESSION UTILIZING HTML - Examples of methods, systems, apparatus, and machine-readable storage media are provided to facilitate access and control of a remote desktop of a remote machine by a windows web browser of a client device through a web server without installing proprietary plug-ins or protocols on the client device. A web server may translate user input requests from a web browser into input calls compatible with a remote desktop display protocol. The web server may receive remote desktop drawing commands from the remote machine and translate the remote desktop drawing commands into web browser drawing updates compatible with the windows web browser. A web server may communicate with the windows web browser via HTTP and communicate with the remote machine via a remote desktop display protocol. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160127196 | DEVICE CONNECTION PROMPT - The present disclosure relates to a method and a controlling node for providing a device connection prompt. The method includes receiving a connecting instruction to connect a device; obtaining a connection property of the connected device; and displaying prompting information corresponding to the connection property according to the connection property of the connected device. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160139790 | CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD IN TERMINAL APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM - Using a memory that manages a user log including at least a cooking time and a food to be cooked with a cooking device used by each user in a plurality of users, a recommended cooking time corresponding to a first user's food to be cooked included in recommended cooking times for respective foods calculated based on cooking times with the cooking devices is acquired from a server, a user interface that prompts the first user to select one of candidates of cooking times including at least the recommended cooking times is displayed on a display, and in response to detecting that a cooking time is selected by performing an input operation on the user interface, a setting command to set the selected cooking time is output to the first cooking device. | 05-19-2016 |
