An apparatus and method for synchronizing the display of content in a real-time collaboration system are provided. The method includes transmitting, from a master device to each of a plurality of other devices, a list of thumbnails and content corresponding to each thumbnail, for each of the plurality of other devices, displaying the list of thumbnails in a format appropriate for that device, without taking into account a display format of other devices in the plurality of other devices, transmitting, from the master device to each of the plurality of other devices, a content ID corresponding to content having a current focus, and for each of the plurality of devices, scrolling through the list of thumbnails to display the thumbnail corresponding to the received content ID.

Method for syncronized real-time sharing the display of ordered lists of content

An apparatus and method for providing a user interface are provided. The method includes determining a status of the mobile terminal, and rendering a user interface using one of the software mode and the hardware mode based on the status of the mobile terminal. Accordingly, because a hardware mode provides a high quality user interface but requires more power as compared to the software mode, the mobile terminal is able to reduce power consumption by automatically switching to the software mode based on the status of the mobile terminal.

Dynamic switching between software and hardware graphics rendering for power consumption

A handset is provided. The handset comprises a data input component, a display screen, and a processor. The processor is programmed to display a model of the handset on the display screen. The model comprises a plurality of virtual components. At least one of the virtual components is selectable by an input into the data input component and is operable, when selected, to promote a display of information related to the virtual component.

Settings system and method for mobile device

A system comprising a display, a processor, and a storage device is provided. The storage device is operable to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, display on the display as a home screen a portion of a virtual world. The virtual world includes a plurality of objects sharing a common theme. At least one of the plurality of objects is operable to launch an application and at least one of the plurality of objects is operable to provide notification of an event to a user of the system.

Personalized virtual reality home screen for mobile devices

A system comprising a display, a processor, and a storage device is provided. The storage device is operable to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, display on the display a graphical user interface that includes a plurality of objects. The plurality of objects each have a substantially similar shape. Each object includes a plurality of menu items visible on the object and one or more of the menu items are associated with applications.

3-dimensional graphical user interface

A method for camouflaging a non-native application as a native application of a device is provided. The method includes generating a native code wrapper in a device dependent native code to handle a communication between a native operating system and the non-native application. The method further includes applying the native code wrapper to the non-native application generating a wrapped non-native application. The non-native application remains intact while in contact with the native code wrapper.
