SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STREAMLINING USER INTERACTION WITH ELECTRONIC CONTENT
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface displayed on a computer system responsive to computer focus and execution comprising:
- a first visual representation configured to display digital content;
a focus visual representation configured to display the first visual representation in a focused state;
an execution component configured to execute a first transformation from the first visual representation into the focus visual representation responsive to computer focus on the first visual representation, and wherein the execution component is further configured to execute a second transformation from the focus visual representation into the first visual representation upon loss of focus on the focus visual representation;
a mapping from at least one of the first visual representation and the focus visual representation to a first view including the digital content; and
the execution component further configured to execute the mapping in response to execution of at least one of the first and focus visual representation, wherein execution of the one at least one of the first and focus visual representations includes clicking on the at least one of the first and focus visual representations.

Abstract
Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Different views of are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and responsive to activity being performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to transition the device from one configuration to another during its use, for example from easel to laptop modes. Further the elements that comprise the graphical user interface are configured to present a summarized view of available actions and content, in order to simplify user interaction. The different views present different organizations of the interface elements and in some example display only certain ones of the modes of content in order to reduce the number of options a user must navigate to accomplish an objective. According to another aspect, methods and systems for streamlining user interaction with computer content are provided. In some embodiments, streamlining includes pre-configuring a user device based on received information. Other embodiments include presenting consistent visual representations used to navigated to views that present computer content.

40. A method for presenting a graphical user interface on a computer system display responsive to computer focus and execution comprising, the acts of:
-
displaying a first visual representation including digital content; displaying a focus visual representation including the first visual representation in a focused state; executing a first transformation from the first visual representation into the focus visual representation in response to computer focus on the first visual representation; executing a second transformation from the focus visual representation into the first visual representation in response to loss of focus on the focus visual representation; storing a mapping from at least one of the first visual representation and the focus visual representation to a first view including the digital content; and displaying the first view in response to execution of the mapping, wherein execution of the mapping includes clicking on the at least one of the first and focus visual representations.

41. A computer system for presenting streamlined interaction with digital content, the computer system comprising:
-
a first user interface component including a first visual representation configured to display digital content; a second user interface component including a focus visual representation configured to display the first visual representation in a focused state; an execution component configured to execute a first transformation from the first visual representation into the focus visual representation responsive to computer focus on the first visual representation, and wherein the execution component is further configured to execute a second transformation from the focus visual representation into the first visual representation upon loss of focus on the focus visual representation; a storage component for storing a mapping from at least one of the first visual representation and the focus visual representation to a third user interface component including a first view of the digital content; and wherein the execution component is further configured to execute the mapping in response to execution of at least one of the first and focus visual representations, wherein execution of the one at least one of the first and focus visual representations includes clicking on the at least one of the first and focus visual representations. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65)
