IMMERSIVE DOCUMENT INTERACTION WITH DEVICE-AWARE SCALING
First Claim
1. A method for immersive document interaction with device-aware scaling, the method comprising the acts of:
- displaying an initial content item containing an attachment;
receiving a request to interact with the attachment;
collecting information about the display configuration of a computing device presenting the initial content item via a display;
selecting a default layout for displaying the attachment based on the display configuration; and
presenting the attachment using the default layout via the display.

Abstract
An adaptive layout and workflow engine. The adaptive layout and workflow engine allows various applications to dynamically render scaled views of content based on the characteristics of the display on the device being used to consume the content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may select an appropriate view of the content to render based on the size, resolution, or aspect ratio of the display. The rendered size of the content and/or the user interface of the content application is evaluated relative to the characteristics of the display. Embodiments may provide different controls via the user interfaces based on the characteristics of the display and/or content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may provide customized work flows via the user interface to improve the user experience depending on the display capabilities of the device used to consume the content.

12. A system for method of immersive document interaction with device-aware scaling, the system comprising:
-
a computing device operable to run a first application for interacting with an initial content item containing an attachment and a second application for interacting with the attachment, a display configuration associated with the computing device; an adaptive layout and workflow engine operable to; display the initial content item containing the attachment; selecting a default view based on the display configuration, the default view being a full-screen view or a side-by-side view; receive a request to display the attachment; display the attachment using the default view; display a context-sensitive task control with multiple actions applicable to the attachment and the initial content item; and perform each of the multiple actions when the context-sensitive task control is activated. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer readable medium containing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform a method of immersive document interaction with device-aware scaling, the method comprising:
-
displaying an initial content item containing an attachment; receiving a request to interact with the attachment; collecting information about the display configuration of a computing device presenting the initial content item via a display; displaying the attachment in a full screen view or the initial content item and the attachment in a side-by-side view via the display based on the display configuration; and displaying a context-sensitive task control that, when activated, performs a sequence of actions based on context and the display configuration.
