Abstract

A system and a method are disclosed for implementing a single-axis window manager on a mobile computing device to view and access multiple applications in a limited display area utilizing limited input capabilities. The mobile computing device initializes a virtual display space having a first dimension with a fixed size. For example, the virtual display space is initialized to have a horizontal dimension equal to the horizontal dimension of the display screen. At least one window is generated having a fixed size in the first dimension but also sizeable in a second direction. For example, the at least one window has a fixed horizontal dimension but is vertically sizeable. The at least one window is then inserted into the virtual display space and displayed on a display device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of mobile computing technologies, and more particularly, the present disclosure relates to window and application management on mobile computing devices. Background technique [0002] Mobile computing devices are increasingly becoming more powerful functional devices. Many mobile devices are multifunctional devices that serve as multiple devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, cellular phones, portable media players, voice recorders, video cameras Global Positioning System (GPS), cameras, and electronic file storage. Such increased functionality allows users of mobile devices to increase the number of applications they interact with, often in rapid succession. However, in order to access and navigate these applications, conventional mobile devices visually show the user at a time data related to a single application, such as a login screen, text editor, or similar dedicat...
