Abstract
A system and method for ensuring application content is displayed in a proper sized display is provided. An illustrative web-based application detects the display characteristics, e.g., size and/or aspect ratio, of its display window. If the display characteristics do not match a predefined requirement, the application ceases updating content and displays resizing notifications to alert the user to adjust the window. Once the window's display characteristics match the predefined criteria, the application resumes updating content in the window.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a computer display screen;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor when executed configured to:
- detect a set of display characteristics of a window displayed on the computer display screen;
- compare the detected set of display characteristics to a predefined set of display characteristics;
- determine that the detected set of display characteristics of the window are inconsistent with the predefined set of display characteristics;
- and
- display, in response to the detected set of display characteristics being inconsistent with the predefined set of display characteristics, a resizing notification on the computer display screen that alerts a user that the window should be resized for the predefined set of display characteristics.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media, having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a set of display characteristics of a window displayed on a computer display screen;
- comparing the detected set of display characteristics to a predefined set of display characteristics;
- determining that the detected set of display characteristics of the window are inconsistent with the predefined set of display characteristics;
- and
- displaying, in response to the detected set of display characteristics being inconsistent with the predefined set of display characteristics, a resizing notification on the computer display screen that alerts a user that the window should be resized for the predefined set of display characteristics.
A computer implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by an application executing on a processor, a set of display characteristics associated with a window displayed on a computer display screen of a computing device;
- comparing the detected set of display characteristics to a predefined set of display characteristics;
- halting updates to content displayed in the window in response to the detected set of display characteristics being inconsistent with the predefined set of display characteristics;
- and
- resuming updates to the content displayed in the window when (1) it is determined that the window has been resized for the predefined set of display characteristics, or (2) it is determined that the window has not been resized for the predefined set of display characteristics and a predefined amount of time has passed.
