APPLICATION-LAUNCHING INTERFACE FOR MULTIPLE MODES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting, in a single user interface and at a one time, labels associated with applications of two different modes, the labels intermixed within the single user interface; and
responsive to a single selection, causing one of the applications to launch within its respective mode.

Abstract
This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling an application-launching interface for multiple modes. This interface enables a user to quickly and easily select to launch applications associated with different modes. A user may avoid wading through multiple interfaces, making multiple selections, and/or a cognitive load associated with deciding on a mode with which to interact.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
presenting, in a single user interface, selectable labels associated with applications, at least one of the applications associated with a windows-based mode and at least one of the applications associated with an immersive mode, and a selectable group associated with two or more grouped applications, at least one of the grouped applications associated with the windows-based mode and at least one of the grouped applications associated with the immersive mode; and responsive to selection of one of the selectable labels, causing the selected application associated with the selected label to launch within its respective mode, or responsive to selection of the selectable group, causing the grouped applications to launch within their respective modes, or enabling selection of each of the grouped applications and, responsive to selection of a selected grouped application, causing the selected grouped application to launch in its respective mode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
