Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising:
- one or more computer processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, perform operations comprising;
presenting a user interface having multiple selectable labels associated with multiple applications, respectively, at least one of the multiple selectable labels;
reporting a first change in a first area of the selectable label, the first change associated with first content of the application to which the selectable label is associated; and
reporting a second change in a second area of the selectable label, the second change associated with second content of the application to which the selectable label is associated;
receiving selection of the one of the multiple selectable labels through the first area or the second area; and
responsive to selection of the selected label, presenting, through the application associated with the selected label, the first content responsive to selection of the first area or the second content responsive to selection of the second area.

Abstract
This document describes techniques for application reporting in an application-selectable user interface. These techniques permit a user to view reports for applications in a user interface through which these applications may be selected. By so doing, a user may quickly and easily determine which applications to select based on their respective reports and then select them or their content through the user interface.

10. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, perform operations comprising; enabling, through a single user interface, selection of two or more applications through selectable labels associated with each of the two or more applications, the selectable labels each having multiple areas reporting respective multiple changes to the applications to which each is associated; and responsive to selection of one of the multiple areas in one of the selectable labels, causing content to be presented, the content associated with the change reported in the selected one of the multiple areas. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a first report for a first application, the first report indicating a change to the first application; receiving a second report for a second application, the second report indicating a change to the second application; receiving a third report for the first application, the third report indicating another change to the first application; receiving a fourth report for the second application, the fourth report indicating another change to the second application; presenting a user interface having first and second selectable labels, the first selectable label associated with the first application and reporting the changes, in respective areas of the first selectable label, to the first application, the second selectable label associated with the second application and reporting the changes in respective areas of the second selectable label, to the second application; receiving selection of the first or second selectable label through one of the respective areas of the first or second selectable label in which one of the changes to the first or second application, respectively, is indicated; and responsive to selection of the selected first or second selectable label, presenting the selected first or second application associated with the selected first or second selectable label, the presenting showing content associated with the one of the changes to the first or second application indicated in the one of the respective areas through which the selected first or second selectable label is selected. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
