Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for managing a plurality of applications via a single interface. It is initially identified as to which of a plurality of applications are installed on a computer. A status of each of the applications is then presented via a single graphical user interface.
Claims20
At least one machine accessible storage medium having code stored thereon, the code when executed on a machine, cause the machine to:
- identify a plurality of applications that are installed on a computer;
- concurrently present a status of each application of the plurality of applications, utilizing a plurality of separate application-specific visual indicators, via a single graphical user interface of another application, wherein the single graphical user interface includes:
- a) the plurality of the application-specific visual indicators associated with the applications;
- and
- b) an overall status representative of a collective status of the plurality of applications distinct from the application-specific visual indicators;
- and
- responsive to selection of one of the plurality of applications from a list of the plurality of applications presented in the single graphical user interface, present
- a) a visual indicator to indicate whether the selected application is enabled and
- b) additional information related to the selected application.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, on which are stored instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:
- identify a plurality of applications that are installed on a computer;
- concurrently present a status of each application of the plurality of applications, utilizing a plurality of separate application-specific visual indicators, via a single graphical user interface of another application, wherein the single graphical user interface includes:
- a) the plurality of the application-specific visual indicators associated with the applications;
- and
- b) an overall status representative of a collective status of the plurality of applications distinct from the application-specific visual indicators;
- and
- responsive to selection of one of the plurality of applications from a list of the plurality of applications presented in the single graphical user interface, present
- a) a visual indicator to indicate whether the selected application is enabled and
- b) additional information related to the selected application.
8 more elements
A method of monitoring the status of applications installed on a computer, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of applications that are installed on a computer;
- presenting concurrently a status of each application of the plurality of applications, utilizing a plurality of separate application-specific visual indicators, via a single graphical user interface of another application, wherein the single graphical user interface includes:
- a) the plurality of the application-specific visual indicators associated with the applications;
- and
- b) an overall status representative of a collective status of the plurality of applications distinct from the application-specific visual indicators;
- and
- presenting, responsive to selection of one of the plurality of applications from a list of the plurality of applications presented in the single graphical user interface,
- a) a visual indicator to indicate whether the selected application is enabled and
- b) additional information related to the selected application.
