Abstract
Dashboards and widgets are tailored for use with a variety of devices having different capabilities. In some implementations, a portable device includes a display and a processor operatively coupled to the display. The processor is operable for generating a dashboard environment including at least one widget, and for presenting the widget on the display. The widget is presented on the display based at least in part on the display type.
Claims39
A portable device, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the display, the processor operable for generating a dashboard environment including at least one widget, and for presenting the widget on the display, wherein the presenting of the widget on the display is based at least in part on the display type.
A method, comprising:
- configuring a dashboard and one or more widgets to operate on a portable device;
- and
- presenting the one or more widgets on a display of the device based on the display type.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor for storing instructions, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to generate a dashboard environment, wherein the dashboard environment is configured based on limitations or attributes of the device.
A method, comprising:
- connecting a device to a network;
- receiving dashboard configuration information for creating a dashboard environment on the device;
- and
- generating the dashboard environment on the device using the configuration information, wherein the configuration information is based on a characteristic of the device.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor and storing a data structure, the data structure configurable for providing access to dashboard or widget information from a dashboard or widget operating on the device, wherein the information conforms to a predetermined syntax.
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor and storing a data structure, the data structure configurable for providing access to device information to a dashboard or widget operating on the device, wherein the information conforms to a predetermined syntax.
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- generating a data structure operable for providing access to dashboard or widget information from a dashboard or widget operating on a device, wherein the information conforms to a predetermined syntax.
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- generating a data structure operable for providing access to device information to a dashboard or widget operating on the device, wherein the information conforms to a predetermined syntax.
