Abstract
Methods and devices for selectively presenting a user interface or “desktop” across two devices are provided. More particularly, a unified desktop is presented across a device and a computer system that comprise a unified system. The unified desktop acts as a single user interface that presents data and receives user interaction in a seamless environment that emulates a personal computing environment. To function within the personal computing environment, the unified desktop includes a process for docking and undocking the device with the computer system. The unified desktop presents a new user interface to allow access to functions of the unified desktop.

21. A method, comprising:
-
providing a device, the device displaying windows of open device-focused applications; providing a computer system, the computer system displaying windows of open computer system-focused applications; docking the device to the computer system to form a unified system; generating a unified desktop for the unified system, wherein the unified desktop includes at least a first user interface associated with the device and a second user interface associated with the computer system, wherein the unified desktop displays windows of the device-focused applications and the computer system-focused applications; receiving a first user interface input on the first user interface; in response to receiving the first user interface input, displaying a first application manager interface on the first user interface, wherein the first application manager interface displays one or more application representations of the device-focused applications and the computer system-focused applications; receiving a second user interface input, wherein the second user interface input reorders the one or more application representations in the first application manager interface; and receiving a third user interface input, wherein the third user interface input changes a computer system-focused application to a device-focused application, and wherein a window of the computer-system application moves from the second user interface to the first user interface. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A unified system, comprising:
-
a device comprising; a first screen; a first memory; a first processor; a computer system comprising; a second screen; a second memory; a second processor, wherein the device is docked with the computer system to form the unified system; wherein the unified system is configured to; display windows of open device-focused applications on a first user interface associated with the device and computer system-focused applications on a second user interface associated with the computer system; receive a first user interface input on the first user interface; in response to receiving the first user interface input, display a first application manager interface on the first user interface, wherein the first application manager interface displays one or more application representations of the device-focused applications and the computer system-focused applications; receive a second user interface input, wherein the second user interface input reorders the one or more application representations in the first application manager interface; and receive a third user interface input that changes a computer system-focused application to a device-focused application, wherein a window of the computer-system application moves from the second user interface to the first user interface. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing a processor to execute a method for providing a unified desktop, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
-
upon docking a device with a computer system, instructions to generate a unified desktop for the unified system, wherein the unified desktop includes a first user interface associated with the device and a second user interface associated with the computer system, wherein the unified desktop displays windows of open device-focused applications on the first user interface and computer system-focused applications on the second user interface; instructions to receive a first user interface input on the first user interface; in response to receiving the first user interface input, instructions to display a first application manager interface on the first user interface, wherein the first application manager interface displays one or more application representations of the device-focused applications and the computer system-focused applications; instructions to receive a second user interface input, wherein the second user interface input reorders the one or more application representations in the first application manager interface; and instructions to receive a third user interface input that changes a computer system-focused application to a device-focused application. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40)
