The present disclosure relates to user interfaces for applications and in particular, presentation of card content by a user interface. In one embodiment, a process for presentation of a user interface includes detecting selection of a first graphical element, loading a framework file for presentation of content associated with the first graphical element, detecting selection of second graphical element presented by the user interface, and presenting card content for the second graphical element based on the framework file. The processes and devices described herein may be configured to preloading a framework file for presentation of content associated with one or more card elements.

System and methods for presentation of a user interface and card elements

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, electronic devices and applications for presentation, configuration and operation of an application including a user interface. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a command for a user interface of the device, wherein the command is associated with a card element displayed by the user interface, wherein the user interface and card element are displayed by the device and wherein operation of device for presentation of the user interface is based on a platform for operation with card elements. The method also includes determining at least one operation of the device based on the command and the platform for operation with the card element, wherein determining includes interoperation of the user interface with the platform and controlling, by the controller, operation of the device based on said determining. Another embodiment is directed to a device configured to present a user interface.

System and methods for card element application operation

An email client having multiple screens that may be displayed in different corresponding ones of a plurality of different display portions of a handheld electronic device. The screens of the email client may be related by way of a dependency relationship and/or may provide for control between the various screens. In one embodiment, the email client includes a folder management screen, a message listing screen, a message detail screen, and an attachment screen. Additionally, the email client may be responsive to received gesture inputs to navigate with respect to the screens and/or perform actions with respect to one or more elements (e.g., messages) of the various screens.

Multi-screen email client

A method for controlling display device operation including a personal dashboard, the method including: detecting, by a display device, a command to present a personal dashboard based on one or more selections of a displayed control interface of the display device; presenting, by the display device, the personal dashboard corresponding to an active profile in response to the command, wherein the personal dashboard includes: a user image of the active profile, a background image of the active profile, and a content pane including a plurality of graphical elements associated with content titles, the content titles are selected based on the active profile; detecting, by the display device, an input command within the personal dashboard; and updating, by the display device, a presentation output of the display device based on the input command.

Methods and device operation for control including a personal dashboard

The present disclosure relates to digital television processes and systems. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a display device includes presenting, by a display device, display content. The display device can receive a touch command indication, wherein the indication is associated with a remote control touch command exceeding a first threshold. The display device can also present a touch layer representation including content elements which are gradually presented based on the duration of the touch command received, determine that the touch command has exceeded a second threshold, and update presentation of the touch layer to display one or more graphical elements in response to the touch command exceeding the second threshold.

System and method for digital television operation and control

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods and devices for the presentation of a user interface and operation of devices. In one embodiment, a method for assigning card elements of an application user interface to a device includes presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more devices. The method also includes detecting a user interface command to associate a selected card element presented by the user interface with a selected device presented by the user interface and outputting a communication including an association of the selected card element with the selected device. Another embodiment is directed to a device configured to run an application and configured for assigning card elements to other devices.

System and methods for card interaction and assigning cards to devices

Display screen with graphical user interface

The present disclosure relates to digital television processes and systems. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a display device includes presenting, by a display device, display content. The display device can identify content titles associated with the display content, detection selection of a command, present a contextual overlay representation including content elements, detect a selection of the content overlay, and update presentation of the display device based on the selection of the content overlay.

System and method for digital television operation and control-contextual interface

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, electronic devices and applications for device to device control by way of an application layer protocol. In one embodiment, device to device control includes establishing a connection with a second device, the second device identified by an application, determining one or more capabilities of the second device based on a capability matching of the application, wherein determining is based on an application profile for the second device and capabilities output by the second device and controlling operation based on one or more matched capabilities.

System and methods for device to device control

The present disclosure relates to digital television processes and systems. In one embodiment, a method for control of a digital television includes detecting a first command for presentation of a control interface for the digital television, and presenting the control interface, wherein the control interface is presented to include an expanded tab element configured to provide a plurality of selectable elements associated with a category of the expanded tab element, and a plurality of tab elements configured in a horizontal bar configuration on a display of the digital television, the expanded tab element presented within the horizontal bar. The method also includes detecting a command for the control interface to select one of the plurality of tab elements, and updating presentation of the control interface in response to the second command, wherein the digital television presents a selected tab element with expanded configuration and provides a plurality of graphical elements.

System and method for digital television operation and control interface presentation

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, devices and applications for connection and control of devices. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting a discover message by a discovery engine of an application executed by the device, receiving a response message from a second device, transmitting a request to the second device for a profile and receiving an acknowledgement of the request for profile for the second device. The method can also include transmitting a request for capabilities associated with the second device, receiving acknowledgement of the request for capabilities, and transmitting a control command to the second device formatted by the application based on the acknowledgement of the request for profile. Other embodiments are directed to receiving discover messages, requests for profile information and capabilities and establishing a communication channel between devices.
