SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SELECTIVELY CONFIGURE FEATURES OF A USER INTERFACE OF A COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT TO LIMIT DISTRACTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019993 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO SELECTIVELY CONFIGURE FEATURES OF A USER INTERFACE OF A COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT TO LIMIT DISTRACTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for selectively configuring features of a user interface in a computer environment to limit distractions. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent:

  • The system manages state information of a computer environment and information defining features available within the environment.
  • It obtains input information from the user, including requests to tailor display parameters of applications.
  • In response to the user input, the system generates tailored values of the display parameters for individual applications.
  • The computer environment is then implemented according to the tailored values, reflecting subsets of features for each application.
  • The system may also perform other operations.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Productivity software: This technology can be used in productivity software to allow users to customize the user interface and limit distractions, improving focus and efficiency.
  • Gaming: In gaming applications, this technology can be used to selectively configure the user interface to enhance the gaming experience and minimize distractions.
  • Mobile devices: This technology can be applied to mobile devices to allow users to tailor the display parameters and limit distractions while using different applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Distractions: The technology addresses the problem of distractions by allowing users to selectively configure the user interface and limit the features that may cause distractions.
  • Lack of customization: It solves the problem of limited customization options in computer environments by providing tailored values for display parameters based on user input.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved focus: By limiting distractions, this technology can help users maintain focus on their tasks or activities.
  • Enhanced user experience: Users can customize the user interface according to their preferences, leading to a more personalized and enjoyable experience.
  • Increased productivity: By tailoring the display parameters, users can optimize their workflow and improve productivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods to selectively configure features of a user interface of a computer environment to limit distractions are disclosed. exemplary implementations may: manage state information maintaining a computer environment; manage information defining features available within the computer environment while the users access applications; obtain input information conveying user input including user-initiated requests to tailor values of display parameters of the applications; in response to the user input, generate tailored values of the display parameters of the individual applications; implement the computer environment in accordance with the tailored values of the display parameters of the individual applications by presenting the computer environment to reflect the individual subsets of the features; and/or perform other operations.
