Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Updating a Session Region - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243058 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Updating a Session Region
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer system that displays a user interface in a specific way based on its display state.
- The computer system shows a first user interface in a display area outside of the system user interface region.
- When the system user interface region is in the first display state, it is displayed with a specific visual edge treatment and a background with a particular appearance.
- If the system user interface region is in a second display state, different from the first, it is displayed with a distinct visual edge treatment and the same background appearance.
Potential applications of this technology:
- User interface design for computer systems
- Customizing the appearance of user interfaces based on display states
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a way to visually differentiate between different display states of a user interface
- Allows for customization of the visual appearance of user interfaces based on specific display states
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by visually indicating different display states of a user interface
- Enhanced customization options for user interface design
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system displays, in display area outside of a system user interface region, a first user interface. In accordance with a determination that the system user interface region is displayed in a first display state, the computer system displays the system user interface region with a first visual edge treatment and displays a background of an interior portion of the system user interface region with a first appearance. In accordance with a determination that the system user interface region is displayed in a second display state distinct from the first display state, the computer system displays the system user interface region with a second visual edge treatment that is distinct from the first visual edge treatment and displays the background of the interior portion of the system user interface region with the first appearance.
