DISPLAYING AND UPDATING A SET OF APPLICATION VIEWS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163365 titled 'DISPLAYING AND UPDATING A SET OF APPLICATION VIEWS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a system for viewing and updating application views on a device. When a user input is received, the device displays a set of application views, including preselected views and an adaptive view based on the most recently opened application.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Device receives user input - Initiates display of a set of application views - Includes preselected views and an adaptive view - Adaptive view corresponds to most recently opened application
Potential applications of this technology: - Enhanced user experience in navigating between applications - Improved efficiency in accessing frequently used applications
Problems solved by this technology: - Streamlining the process of switching between applications - Providing quick access to recently used applications
Benefits of this technology: - Increased user productivity - Customized viewing experience based on usage patterns
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Mobile devices - Tablets - Smart TVs
Possible prior art: - Similar systems for displaying application views on devices - Adaptive view features in other applications
Unanswered questions: 1. How does the system prioritize which applications to display in the adaptive view? - The patent abstract does not specify the algorithm or criteria used to determine the most recently opened application for the adaptive view. 2. Are there any limitations to the number of preselected application views that can be displayed? - The abstract does not mention any restrictions on the number of preselected views that can be included in the set of application views.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure generally relates to viewing and updating application views. a device receives a user input, the input, when received initiating display of a plurality of application views of a set of application views. the device, in response to receiving the user input, displays the plurality of application views of the set of application views, wherein the set of application views includes preselected application views and an adaptive view that corresponds to a most recently opened application that is not one of the preselected application views.
