CREATING AN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- presenting on a display an immersive environment that does not include system chrome;
defining within the immersive environment presented on the display a first region and a second region that does not overlap with the first region; and
simultaneously presenting content of at least a first executing user-interactive application in the first region and content of at least one executing second user-interactive application in the second region.

Abstract
The working area of an immersive environment is presented on a display without relying on any system chrome. Two regions are defined within the immersive environment, one of which is a larger primary region and the second of which is a smaller non-primary region. The two regions are presented so that they not overlap with one another. The content of one executing user-interactive application is presented in the primary region and, simultaneously, content of one or more other executing user-interactive applications are presented in the non-primary region. In some implementations the non-primary is docked to one side of the display.

12. A computing device, comprising:
-
a computer-readable storage medium for storing a plurality of user-interactive applications; a processor for executing the user-interactive applications; an immersive environment module configured to provide content associated with applications in an immersive environment on a display; and a manager module configured to define within the immersive environment presented on the display a first region and a second region that does not overlap with the first region such that content associated with a first executing user-interactive application is presented in the first region while content associated with at least one executing second user-interactive application is presented in the second region. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20)

17. A computer-readable medium, comprising:
-
causing an immersive environment that does not include system chrome to be presented on a display device, said immersive environment including a first region and a second region that do not overlap with one another on the display device; causing content of at least a first executing user-interactive application to be presented in the first region and content of an executing second user-interactive application to be presented in the second region; causing a third executing user-interactive application to be presented in the first region upon user request; and causing, without additional user-intervention, the first executing user-interactive application to be moved to the second region. - View Dependent Claims (18)
