Abstract

A title bar can be displayed through use of different layers. A default layer displays information of general importance to a user. A non-default layer can be presented to a user based on specific circumstances. The non-default layer is presented according to defined criteria. The default layer can be re-displayed to the user after completion of the criteria associated with the non-default layer.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a selection component that elects a non-default title bar for presentment over a default title bar of a device based on an occurrence of an inbound service or metadata associated with the inbound service or execution of an internal application or a combination thereof; and

a transfer component that conveys the non-default title bar to an auxiliary location.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a creation component that facilitates construction of a title bar that can be elected by the selection component.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising an advertisement component that augments the non-default title bar with at least one announcement.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a modification component that facilitates alteration of a non-default title bar that can be elected by the selection component.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising an interaction component that augments the non-default title bar with at least one engagement portion.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a check component that verifies applicability of the non-default title bar.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising artificial intelligence that makes at least one inference or at least one determination or both that concerns election of the non-default title bar.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a statistical component gathers data that relates to the non-default title bar.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a collection component that obtains the non-default title bar elected by the selection component.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising an augmentation component that integrates the elected non-default title bar with data that concerns occurrence of the inbound service or metadata associated with the inbound service or execution of the internal application or a combination thereof.

11. The system of claim 1, further comprising an analysis component that examines information or metadata or both that relates to occurrence of an inbound service or metadata associated with the inbound service or execution of an internal application or a combination thereof.

12. A method, comprising:

appointing a first label layer for presentment over a second label layer; and

exposing the first label layer over the second label layer.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising analyzing information or metadata or both for appointing the first label layer.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising receiving information or metadata or both.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising displaying the second label layer after exposition of the first label layer.

16. The method of claim 12, further comprising ascertaining if the first label layer should be exposed over a second label layer.

17. The method of claim 12, further comprising obtaining feedback that concerns the first label layer.

18. A system, comprising:

means for overriding presentment of at least part of a standard banner panel; and

means for transferring a non-standard banner panel to a means for exhibiting the non-standard banner crosspiece panel.

19. The system of claim 18, further comprising means for regulating presentment of a non-standard banner panel in accordance with criteria of the non-standard banner panel.

20. The system of claim 18, further comprising means for exhibiting the non-standard banner panel.
