International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 268

Abstract:

A user interface in which a control is presented in which a user may edit the control in a manner that if the edit is finalized, a bill would be affected. The user interface also displays a billing impact element that displays an effect on the bill should the edit be finalized. For instance, as edits are made to the control, corresponding effects are illustrated in the billing impact element in real-time. Thus, the user can see more immediately an impact of billing in response to possible edits, rather than wait until final payment before seeing the effect on the bill of all prior edits.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715764

Abstract:

A user interface that includes an activity initiation area that includes an activity initiation control that may be interacted with in order to initiate respective activities, and a notification area in which one or more notifications related to the activity may be displayed. The notification area is spatially related to the activity initiation control in a fixed manner for multiple activities. The activity initiation area may appear along a lower boundary of the display much as a partially pulled out drawer as viewed from above. The notification area may also appear along the lower boundary of the display, but extend further vertically, much as a fully pulled out drawer as viewed from above. This helps give a contextual understanding of the subject matter of the notifications in relation to the activities that have been, or may be, initiated from the activity initiation area.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345629

Abstract:

A user interface in which a notification is to be displayed in the context of a dialog already being displayed over a primary application work area. Rather than pop up an additional dialog to show the notification, the notification is displayed adjacent the existing dialog. If the notification is a confirmation request, the display of the confirmation request disables an advancement control in the dialog that would otherwise enable the user to advance to the next step in the dialog, or to close the dialog.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481
G06F 3/0486
G06F 3/0484

Abstract:

An organization mode in a user interface that displays multiple user interface elements. The multiple user interface elements fit over a grid positions that are at least conceptually imposed over a canvas. In organization mode, the grid positions are displayed, allowing the user to more easily see where user interface elements may be placed. As the user moves and/or resizes a user interface element, one or more corresponding grid positions are highlighted to show where the user interface element would be placed if the move or resize operation were to conclude at that moment. The organization mode may also provide a contextual actions menu with respect to a particular user interface element. The contextual actions menu includes multiple organization mode commands, including one or more that may be directed selected from the contextual actions menu to invoke the command.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0481

Abstract:

A gallery user interface element that includes multiple selectable service user interface elements. Each of the selectable service user interface elements, when selected, initiates a corresponding predetermined action. Thus, the gallery may be used to initiate any number of predetermined actions by selecting appropriate service user interface elements. The predetermined actions may be performed by a number of user interface elements that are collectively offered by a variety of different applications, application extensions, or the system itself. The predetermined actions may include at least one predetermined action that extends an extendible canvas with one or more additional user interface elements. The gallery may include multiple pinnable elements and have different versions depending on a context in which the gallery was opened.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0484

US Classification:

715762

Abstract:

A model for displaying multiple user interface elements such that each control includes a container that includes standard functionality across at least a majority of the user interface elements. For instance, such standard functionality might include a part status indication, a title, a content status indication, a command invocation function, a part resizing function, and so forth. The model may also provide for standardization of resizing of user interface elements. For a given user interface element, there would be a predetermined number of possible size and shapes, each corresponding to a different projection of data. For instance, all of the user interface elements on a screen may fall within the predetermined number of possible size and shapes, thereby allowing more functional layout of the user interface on the display.

US Classification:

715762

Abstract:

Computing systems in which multiple non-context-sensitive or core commands may be initiated from each of a number of different user interface contexts. There are also multiple context-sensitive mechanism for visualizing the commands depending on which of the multiple possible user interface contexts that the commands appear. At least some embodiments described herein also related to the presentation of dialogs at various stages of the command lifecycle without the system needing to know the underlying operations of the command, and allowing the developer to specify when dialogs are to appear in that lifecycle.
