Abstract
Disclosed in some examples are display systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums which provide for a gesture-based method for specifying a region of a display in which to show shared content. Also disclosed are pairing methods for associating the region of the display with a content source device, methods for sharing content within the region, and methods for providing input from the region back to the content source device. Also disclosed in some examples are display systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums which provide for notification handling for user interfaces.
Claims20
A computing device for remote content display, the computing device comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- a memory, storing instructions, which when executed, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- identifying content for display in a first display area;
- causing display of the identified content in the first display area;
- identifying a notification that needs to be displayed, the notification, if displayed in the first display area, would overlap a portion of the identified content;
- creating an extracted notification by separating the notification from the identified content that is destined to display in the first display area;
- directing the extracted notification to be displayed in a second display area;
- causing display of the extracted notification, that otherwise would be displayed in the identified content in the first display area, in the second display area but not in the first display area;
- and
- causing display of the identified content that omits a visual representation of the notification in the first display area.
A method for remote content display, the method comprising:
- using one or more hardware processors of a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying content for display in a first display area;
- causing display of the identified content in the first display area;
- identifying a notification that needs to be displayed, the notification, if displayed in the first display area, would overlap a portion of the identified content;
- creating an extracted notification by separating the notification from the identified content that is destined to display in the first display area;
- directing the extracted notification to be displayed in a second display area;
- causing display of the extracted notification, that otherwise would be displayed in the identified content in the first display area, in the second display area but not in the first display area;
- and
- causing display of the identified content that omits a visual representation of the notification in the first display area.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device, storing instructions, which when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- identifying content for display in a first display area;
- causing display of the identified content in the first display area;
- identifying a notification that needs to be displayed, the notification, if displayed in the first display area, would overlap a portion of the identified content;
- creating an extracted notification by separating the notification from the identified content that is destined to display in the first display area;
- directing the extracted notification to be displayed in a second display area;
- causing display of the extracted notification, that otherwise would be displayed in the identified content in the first display area, in the second display area but not in the first display area;
- and
- causing display of the identified content that omits a visual representation of the notification in the first display area.
