1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, an identifier associated with a user;
determining, based on the identifier, multiple applications associated with the user, the determining comprising;
passing the identifier to a remote authenticator;
receiving authentication of the user;
passing the authentication to an entity that records application associations for users; and
receiving an application association record for the user, the application association record for the user indicating the multiple applications;
receiving, without executing an application of the multiple applications, content associated with the application;
presenting, on a display device of the computing device and based on the determined multiple applications, a live-tile user interface containing multiple live tiles, two or more live tiles of the multiple live tiles corresponding to applications of the determined multiple applications, each of the two or more live tiles within the live-tile user interface not occluding each other, the live-tile user interface capable of concurrently presenting content within the two or more live tiles in the live-tile user interface; and
presenting, on the display device of the computing device and without executing the application, within a live tile associated with the application, and within the live-tile user interface, the content within the live tile, the presenting enabling, through the live-tile user interface, interaction with the content presented in the live tile.

Abstract
Techniques enabling live tiles without application-code execution are described. These techniques permit live content to be presented in tiles without executing code of applications associated with those tiles. By so doing, live tiles may be presented more safely, faster, or using fewer resources.

11. A system comprising:
-
one or more display devices; one or more processors; one or more computer-readable storage media having computer-readable instructions thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising; determining, based on an identifier associated with a user, multiple applications associated with the user, the determining comprising; passing the identifier to a remote authenticator; receiving authentication of the user; passing the authentication to an entity that records application associations for users; and receiving an application association record for the user, the application association record for the user indicating the multiple applications; receiving, without executing an application of the multiple applications, content associated with the application; presenting, on the one or more display devices and based on the determined multiple applications, a live-tile user interface containing multiple live tiles, two or more live tiles of the multiple live tiles corresponding to applications of the determined multiple applications, each of the two or more live tiles within the live-tile user interface not occluding each other, the live-tile user interface capable of concurrently presenting content within the two or more live tiles in the live-tile user interface; and presenting, on the one or more display devices and without executing the application, within a live tile associated with the application, and within the live-tile user interface, the content within the live tile, the presenting enabling, through the live-tile user interface, interaction with the content presented in the live tile. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
