Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Displaying Menus, Windows, and Cursors on a Display with a Notch - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949111 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Displaying Menus, Windows, and Cursors on a Display with a Notch
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a user interface that includes a menu along one edge of a display region. The menu consists of multiple menu objects. If the display generation component cannot display content in a specific portion of the edge, the first menu object is displayed on one side and the second menu object is displayed on the other side of that portion. If the display generation component can display content in the specific portion, the first and second menu objects are displayed adjacent to each other.
- User interface with a menu along one edge of a display region
- Menu includes multiple menu objects
- If display generation component cannot display content in a specific portion of the edge:
* First menu object is displayed on one side of the portion * Second menu object is displayed on the other side of the portion
- If display generation component can display content in the specific portion:
* First and second menu objects are displayed adjacent to each other
Potential Applications
- Mobile devices with limited display capabilities
- Web browsers with limited screen space
- Smartwatches or other wearable devices
Problems Solved
- Accommodates display limitations by adjusting menu object placement
- Ensures menu objects are visible and accessible even in limited display regions
Benefits
- Improved user experience by adapting to different display sizes and capabilities
- Maximizes use of available screen space
- Allows for efficient navigation and access to menu options
Original Abstract Submitted
A request to display a user interface that includes a menu along a first edge of a user interface that corresponds to a first edge of a display region is received. The menu includes multiple menu objects, including a first and a second menu object. In response to receiving the request, and if the display generation component is not capable of displaying content in a respective portion of the first edge of the display region, the first menu object is displayed on a first side and the second menu object is displayed on a second side of the respective portion, such that the respective portion is between the first menu object and the second menu object met. And, if the display generation component is capable of displaying content in the respective portion, the first and second menu objects are displayed adjacent to one another in the display region.
