Automated on-screen windows arrangements

A method of operating a system for generating a plurality of windows arrangements for one or more displays, comprising:

• receiving a first user input requesting to generate a plurality of first windows arrangements for a first display;
• in response to receiving the first user input, identifying, based on contextual information with respect to a plurality of applications, a first group of the applications to be included in the first windows arrangements for the first display;
• generating the plurality of first windows arrangements based on first display information of the first display and the contextual information with respect to the plurality of applications, wherein the generating of the plurality of first windows arrangements includes:
• generating a first arrangement of windows associated with a first sub-set of a plurality of applications of the first group, and defining a size and position of each of the windows associated with the first sub-set of applications;
• and
• generating a second arrangement of windows associated with a second sub-set of a plurality of applications from the first group that is different from the first sub-set of applications, and defining a size and position of each of the windows associated with the second sub-set of applications;
• and
• displaying a first selectable indication of the plurality of first windows arrangements including the first arrangement of windows and the second arrangement of windows for the first display.

A system for generating a plurality of windows arrangements for one or more displays, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the system to perform:
• receiving a first user input requesting to generate a plurality of windows arrangements in connection with a first window;
• generating the plurality of windows arrangements, each windows arrangement providing a different on-screen arrangement of a plurality of windows and defining a size and position of each of the plurality of windows on a display;
• receiving a second user input selecting a first windows arrangement of the plurality of windows arrangements, the first windows arrangement dividing the display into a plurality of segments and defining a size and position of each of the plurality of segments;
• receiving a third user input selecting a first segment of the plurality of segments divided according to the selected first windows arrangement;
• in response to receiving the third user input, displaying the first window at the first segment of the display;
• receiving a fourth user input selecting a second segment of the plurality of segments divided according to the selected first windows arrangement;
• and
• in response to receiving the fourth user input, displaying a plurality of candidate windows different from the first window to be displayed in the second segment.
