Augmenting user interface elements based on timing information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a region of interest of an interactive display based on a usage of the interactive display;
determining a time since utilization of a user interface element displayed on the interactive display exceeds a threshold;
determining timing information for content in a region of the interactive display other than the region of interest, wherein the timing information is based on utilization of the content;
determining the content is stale based on the timing information exceeding a threshold time;
removing the content from the interactive display based on the content being stale;
automatically moving the user interface element progressively over a period of time from an initial location to the region other than the region of interest;
providing another user interface element capable of selecting a previous time since utilization of the user interface element;
receiving input selecting the previous time since utilization of the user interface element; and
moving the user interface element to a historic location associated with the previous time since utilization of the user interface element.

Abstract
An example method includes determining a region of interest of an interactive display. The method also includes determining a time since utilization of a user interface element exceeds a threshold. The method includes determining timing information for content in a region of the interactive display other than the region of interest, determining the content is stale based on the timing information exceeding a threshold, and removing the content from the interactive display based on the content being stale. The method includes automatically moving the user interface element progressively over a period of time from an initial location to the region other than the region of interest. The method further includes providing another user interface element capable of selecting a previous time since utilization, receiving input selecting the previous time since utilization, and moving the user interface element to a historic location associated with the previous time since utilization.

9. A device comprising:
-
an interactive display; a selection module to; determine a region of interest on the interactive display based on a usage of the interactive display, and select a user interface element displayed in the region of interest; a space manager module to; determine a time since utilization of the user interface element exceeds a threshold, determine timing information for content in a region of the interactive display other than the region of interest, wherein the timing information is based on utilization of the content, determine the content is stale based on the timing information exceeding a threshold time, remove the content from the interactive display based on the content being stale, automatically move the user interface element progressively over a period of time from an initial location to the region other than the region of interest; and a history module to; provide another user interface element capable of selecting a previous time since utilization of the user interface element, receive a user input selecting the previous time since utilization of the user interface element, and move the user interface element to a historic location associated with the previous time since utilization of the user interface element. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by at least one processor of a device, cause the at least one processor to:
-
determine a region of interest of an interactive display based on a usage of the interactive display; determine a time since utilization of a user interface element displayed on the interactive display exceeds a threshold; determine timing information for content in a region of the interactive display other than the region of interest, wherein the timing information is based on utilization of the content; determine the content is stale based on the timing information exceeding a threshold time; remove the content from the interactive display based on the content being stale; automatically move the user interface element progressively over a period of time from an initial location to the region other than the region of interest; provide another user interface element capable of selecting a previous time since utilization of the user interface element; receive input selecting the previous time since utilization of the user interface element; and move the user interface element to a historic location associated with the previous time since utilization of the user interface element. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
