20100103124 | Column Organization of Content - Column organization of content is described. In an implementation, a mobile communications device configures a user interface to include a plurality of representations of content arranged according to a plurality of columns that permits navigation between first and second said columns upon detection of a gesture input via a touchscreen of the mobile communications device. The user interface is displayed on a display device of the mobile communications device. The first column is configured for vertical navigation through each of the plurality of representations and the second column includes a filtered subset of the plurality of representations such that at least one of the representations is included in the first column and not the second column. | 04-29-2010 |
20100105439 | Location-based Display Characteristics in a User Interface - Location-based display characteristics in a user interface are described. In an implementation, a determination is made by mobile communications device that icon is to be displayed at a particular location in the user interface. A display characteristic is applied by the mobile communications device that is defined for the particular location such that a display of the icon is changed. The icon is displayed having an applied display characteristic on the display device of the mobile communications device at the particular location in the user interface. | 04-29-2010 |
20100105441 | Display Size of Representations of Content - Techniques involving a display size of representations in a user interface are described. In one or more implementations, a mobile communications device assigns a display size to representations of a plurality of content based on metadata associated with the content that indicates when the content was captured. The assigned display size of a first representation is larger than the assigned display size of a second representation. The first and second representations are displayed concurrently in a user interface on the mobile communications device as having respective assigned display sizes. | 04-29-2010 |
20100107068 | User Interface with Parallax Animation - user interface animation techniques are described. In an implementation, an input having a velocity is detected that is directed to one or more objects in a user interface. A visual presentation is generated that is animated so a first object in the user interface moves in parallax with respect to a second object. The presentation is displayed so the first object appears to moves at a rate that corresponds to the velocity. | 04-29-2010 |
20100180233 | Mobile Communications Device User Interface - A mobile communications device user interface is described. In an implementation, a method is implemented by a computing device that includes displaying content in conjunction with a first level of a hierarchical menu in a user interface on a display device of the computing device. Responsive to receipt of an input to navigate to a second level of the hierarchical menu that is a sublevel of the first level, the second level in displayed conjunction with the content on the display device, the content having a reduced display richness when displayed in conjunction with the second level than when displayed in conjunction with the first level. | 07-15-2010 |
20120212495 | User Interface with Parallax Animation - User interface animation techniques are described. In an implementation, an input having a velocity is detected that is directed to one or more objects in a user interface. A visual presentation is generated that is animated so a first object in the user interface moves in parallax with respect to a second object. The presentation is displayed so the first object appears to moves at a rate that corresponds to the velocity. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215380 | SEMI-AUTONOMOUS ROBOT THAT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE MODES OF NAVIGATION - Described herein are technologies pertaining to robot navigation. The robot includes a video camera that is configured to transmit a live video feed to a remotely located computing device. A user interacts with the live video feed, and the robot navigates in its environment based upon the user interaction. In a first navigation mode, the user selects a location, and the robot autonomously navigates to the selected location. In a second navigation mode, the user causes the point of view of the video camera on the robot to change, and thereafter causes the robot to semi-autonomously drive in a direction corresponding to the new point of view of the video camera. In a third navigation mode, the user causes the robot to navigate to a selected location in the live video feed. | 08-23-2012 |
20140094226 | Location-Based Display Characteristics in a User Interface - Location-based display characteristics in a user interface are described. In an implementation, a determination is made by mobile communications device that icon is to be displayed at a particular location in the user interface. A display characteristic is applied by the mobile communications device that is defined for the particular location such that a display of the icon is changed. The icon is displayed having an applied display characteristic on the display device of the mobile communications device at the particular location in the user interface. | 04-03-2014 |
