Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods that allow activation of and intuitive interactions with a companion-display mode for an electronic device. In one aspect, a first device receives a request to annotate content on the first device. In accordance with a determination that a second device is available for displaying the content in an annotation mode and has not been previously approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device displays a selectable option that, when selected, causes the first device to send an instruction to display the content in the annotation mode at the second device. When the electronic device is available for displaying the content in the annotation mode and has previously been approved to display the content in the annotation mode, the first device sends an instruction to the second device to display the content in the annotation mode automatically without further user intervention.

Abstract: Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that use applications windows. Because a user may use one or more instances of a particular application or multiple applications at once, application windows are useful tools for organizing items stored in electronic devices and using features provided by various applications. A user may need to manipulate, organize, configure and/or resize application windows. Some methods for manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows require a sequence of user inputs that navigate in a menu system. For example, with these methods, a user may need to select a user interface object in display a menu and/or perform one or more actions on the selected user interface object associated with one or more application windows. The various methods disclosed herein streamline manipulating, organizing, configuring and/or resizing application windows.

Abstract: An example method includes, at a first electronic device that includes a display, displaying, on the display, a user interface that is associated with an application, the user interface displayed with a control user interface element for changing a display property of the user interface. The method includes, detecting an input directed to the control user interface element. The method also includes that in response to detecting the input, and while continuing to display the user interface, concurrently displaying on the display: a first selectable option for changing the display property of the user interface on the display of the first electronic device, and a second selectable option for requesting display at a second electronic device, distinct from the first electronic device, of a user interface that includes content from the user interface.

Abstract: A first window generated by a first application is displayed concurrently with a second window generated by a second application. A first window-movement request associated with the second window is received. In response, the second window is displayed adjacent to and touching the first window and a spatial relationship is established between the first window and the second window. While the first window is linked to the second window, a second window-movement request associated with the first window is received. The first window and second window are moved in accordance with the second window-movement request such that the spatial relationship is maintained. A third window-movement request is received. In accordance with a determination that the third window-movement request is associated with the second window, the first window and second window are unlinked and the second window is moved away from the first window such that the spatial relationship changes.

Abstract: A set of user interfaces for a data processing system that operates with two or more display devices coupled to the system. In one embodiment, in response to moving a first window between two displays, the first window is displayed, as it straddles the two displays, differently on the two displays. For example, while a reference point (e.g. a cursor) on the window remains on a first display, a first portion of the window on the first display is displayed normally while a second portion on the second display is displayed with more translucence (more transparency) than the first portion; when the references point crosses to the second display, the first portion becomes more translucent than the second portion.

Abstract: A user interface can have one or more spaces presented therein. A space is a grouping of one or more program windows in relation to windows of other application programs, such that the program(s) of only a single space is visible when the space is active. A view can be generated of all spaces and their contents.

Abstract: A speakerphone system integrated in a mobile device is automatically controlled based on the current state of the mobile device. In one implementation, the mobile device is controlled based on an orientation or position of the mobile device. In another implementation, the control of the speakerphone includes automatically controlling one or more graphical user interfaces associated with the speakerphone system.
