Abstract
This document describes techniques and apparatuses for presenting an application change through a tile. These techniques enable a user to see content associated with content changes to an application or other information about the application, such as a new article, new email, or a software update having become available since a user last visited the application. By so doing, the techniques enable a user to forgo visiting the application or permit the user to quickly and easily decide whether or not to visit the application.

Description
Background
[0001] Conventional operating systems permit users to launch applications, often through a user interface having selectable icons for the applications. In some cases a user selects to launch an application from this user interface and does not care whether there is anything new for that application.
[0002] In many cases, however, users launch applications to find out what is new in those applications. A user wishing to find out what is new in her applications, for example, typically selects an icon for a desired application, in response to which the conventional operating system launches the application. This application then opens and, assuming it is one that presents content, presents that content. For some applications, such as news or social-networking websites, the application retrieves content from a remote source and then presents that content. It is at this point that the user sees the content, which may or may not be new since the last time the user viewed content for that application.
[0003] The user may continue this process of selecting applications, in response to which they are launched and present content, and then viewing the presented content to find out what, if anything, is new. Following this process will permit a user to see what is new in her applications, but doing so takes significant amounts of time and effort. This process also expends computing and bandwidth resources. Worse still, in some cases her applications may not have any new content, in which case all of this time, effort, and resources are wasted.
Summary
[0004] This document describes techniques for presenting an application change through a tile. These techniques permit a user to view changes to an application through a tile of a user interface, including content associated with those changes. By so doing, the techniques enable a user to forgo visiting the application or quickly and easily determine if the change is of sufficient interest to visit the application.
[0005] This summary is provided to introduce simplified concepts for presenting an application change through a tile that is further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for use in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter. Techniques and/or apparatuses for presenting an application change through a tile are also referred to herein separately or in conjunction as the “techniques” as permitted by the context.

Detailed Description
[0024] Overview
[0025] This document describes techniques and apparatuses for presenting an application change through a tile. These techniques enable a user to see content associated with content changes to an application or other information about the application, such as a new article, new email, or a software update having become available since a user last visited the application. By so doing, the techniques enable a user to forgo visiting the application or permit the user to quickly and easily decide whether or not to visit the application.
[0026] Assume, for example, that a user wishes to see whether or not there is anything new for an application, such as a social networking application. The techniques enable the user to view changes associated with the social networking application without visiting the application. The techniques may do so through a tile that presents changes since the user last viewed the application, such as content associated with a friend tagging the user in a photo. This presented content can include an image of the user's friend, the photo in which the user is tagged, or a portion of the friend's message. On viewing this content, the user sees some or all of the content associated with the change, thereby permitting the user to avoid visiting the application or prompting the user to visit the application for additional content. Thus, in many cases the user decides to visit the application based on the content presented in the tile.
[0027] This is but one example of the many ways in which the techniques enable users to view changes to an application through a tile. Numerous other examples, as well as ways in which the techniques operate, are described below.
[0028] This discussion proceeds to describe an example environment in which the techniques may operate, methods performable by the techniques, and an example apparatus below.
[0029] Example Environment
[0030] FIG. 1 illustrates an example environment 100 in which techniques for presenting an application change through a tile can be embodied. Environment 100 includes a computing device 102, remote provider 104, optional report compiler 106, and communication network 108, which enables communication between these entities. In this illustration, computing device 102 receives reports 110 from three sources, remote provider 104, report compiler 106, and an application executing on computing device 102 (this application is shown in FIG. 2 ).
[0031] Each report 110 indicates a change to its associated application. This change to an application can be to the application's content or status, such as a new email, entry, or article, or that a software update or expiration is approaching, to name just a few. Computing device 102 presents user interface 112, which includes tiles for applications, many of which present these changes.
[0032] FIG. 2 illustrates an example embodiment of computing device 102 of FIG. 1 , which is illustrated with six examples devices: a laptop computer 102-1, a tablet computer 102-2, a smart phone 102-3, a set-top box 102-4, a desktop computer 102-5, and a gaming device 102-6, though other computing devices and systems, such as servers and netbooks, may also be used.
[0033] Computing device 102 includes or has access to computer processor(s) 202, computer-readable storage media 204 (media 204), and one or more displays 206, four examples of which are illustrated in FIG. 2 . Media 204 includes an operating system 208, reporter 210, and applications 212, each of which may provide content 214.
[0034] Operating system 208 includes or has access to window-based environment module 216 and/or immersive environment module 218. Applications selected through the techniques can be presented through a windows-based or immersive environment, as well as others.
[0035] Windows-based environment module 216 presents applications and accompanying content through windows having frames. These frames provide controls through which to interact with an application as well as controls enabling a user to move and size the window.
[0036] Immersive environment module 218 provides an environment by which a user may view and interact with one or more of applications 212 and corresponding content 214. In some embodiments, this environment presents content of, and enables interaction with, applications with little or no window frame and/or without a need for a user to manually size or position content. This environment can be, but is not required to be, hosted and/or surfaced without use of a typical desktop environment. Thus, in some cases immersive environment module 218 presents an immersive environment that is not a window (even one without a substantial frame) and precludes usage of desktop-like displays (e.g., a taskbar). Further still, in some embodiments this immersive environment is similar to an operating system in that it is not closeable or capable of being un-installed. Examples of immersive environments are provided below as part of describing the techniques, though they are not exhaustive or intended to limit the techniques.
[0037] Reporter 210 includes, has access to, or generates an application-selectable user interface 220, an example of which is shown at 112 in FIG. 1 . Interface 220 includes or has access to presentation formats 222. Reporter 210 reports changes associated with one or more of applications 212 through interface 220. As noted above, reports 110 may be received directly from one or more of applications 212, or another entity associated with one or more of applications 212, such as remote provider 104 or report compiler 106.
[0038] In some cases a report indicates which presentation format 222 is intended, in which case reporter 210 reports changes in the appropriate format through interface 220. Presentation formats 222 can be eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) in cases where reports 110 are received in eXtensible Markup Language (XML). In such a case, reporting in interface 220 is presenting using Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML), though use of XSLT, XML, and HTML are optional, as are presentation formats 222 in general.
[0039] FIG. 3 illustrates example embodiments of remote provider 104. Remote provider 104 is shown as a singular entity for visual brevity, though multiple remote providers are also contemplated herein. Remote provider 104 includes or has to access to provider processor(s) 302 and provider computer-readable storage media 304 (media 304). Media 304 includes report generator 306 and content provider 308.
[0040] Report generator 306 is capable of providing one or more reports 110 to computing device 102, either directly or indirectly through report compiler 106. In some embodiments, reports 110 include information useful for indicating a change, presenting content associated with the change, or visiting the application (e.g., with a universal resource locators (URLs)).
[0041] Report generator 306 may act responsive to reporter 210, such as a request from reporter 210 for reports 110, though report generator 306 may also act to periodically send, or consistently make available, new and/or interesting content or data as it become available. Report generator 306 may indicate what is new since a user last selected a particular application, though it may also simply provide reports 110, with which reporter 210 may instead determine what is or is not new.
[0042] Content provider 308 provides content, such as content 214 associated with application 212. Content provider 308 may act in conjunction with report generator 306, such as to provide content 214 to report generator 306, which report generator 306 then provides a portion of (or sometimes all of) in report 110.
[0043] FIG. 4 illustrates an example embodiment of report compiler 106. Report compiler 106 is shown as a singular entity for visual brevity, though multiple compilers may also be used. Report compiler 106 includes or has to access to compiler processor(s) 402 and compiler computer-readable storage media 404 (media 404). Media 404 includes compiling module 406, which is capable of receiving and compiling reports 110 from one or more sources, such as report provider 104. Compiling module 406 may receive reports for later provision to computing device 102, such as periodically or when computing device 102 indicates that it is on. Compiling module 406 may determine which changes are new since a particular user last viewed content from an application and provide those of the reports 110 indicating these changes.
[0044] Ways in which entities of FIGS. 1-4 act and interact are set forth in greater detail below. The entities illustrated for computing device 102, remote provider 104, or report compiler 106, respectively, can be separate or integrated.
[0045] Example Methods
[0046] FIG. 5 depicts a method 500 for presenting a user interface having selectable tiles at least one of which presents a change to an application. In portions of the following discussion reference may be made to environment 100 of FIG. 1 and as detailed in FIGS. 2-4 , reference to which is made for example only.
[0047] Block 502 presents a user interface having multiple, selectable tiles associated with multiple applications, respectively. At least one of the multiple selectable tiles reports a change associated with the application to which the selectable tile is associated, though multiple changes for multiple applications or the same application may also be reported.
[0048] By way of example, consider a case where reporter 210 of FIG. 2 presents a user interface 600 shown in FIG. 6 . This user interface 600 is but one of many types of user interfaces contemplated by user interface 220 of FIG. 2 , including a user interface having a single tile. User interface 600 includes fifteen selectable tiles, twelve of them relatively large and three relatively small.
[0049] This example user interface 600 reports changes to eleven of the twelve larger tiles and one of the three small tiles, though any variation of such a presentation is contemplated, such as changes to all or none of the selectable tiles. Note that these changes, even if all of these changes were already received at the time a user selects to view user interface 600, may be presented to each of the various tiles and portions of the tiles progressively. This progressive alteration of the tiles can make user interface 600 look animated. Thus, the changes to the tiles are not necessarily made all at once.
[0050] Further, in cases where multiple changes for an application are known, reporter 210 may present the newest of the changes or rotate through these changes. Reporter 210 may rotate through changes to maintain a “live” feel to user interface 600 or responsive to activity or inactivity with a tile. Inactively with a tile may indicate that the currently-indicated change is not of interest to a user. As another of the changes may be of more interest, the most-recent change may be rotated off of a tile and an older (but still new) change rotated on to the tile.
[0051] Consider first selectable tile 602, which is shown expanded in FIG. 6 . This selectable tile 602 is associated with one of applications 212 of FIG. 2 , namely a “News” application. As shown, selectable tile 602 reports a change associated with this application 212 within selectable tile 602, the change relative to a prior viewing, selection, or launching of this application 212 by a user associated with computing device 102.
[0052] Assume that a user viewed the News application at 9 am and, on viewing user interface 600, is presented with selectable tile 602 reporting a change to the News application since 9 am (at 3 pm the same day, for example). Here the change is a new article concerning a weather satellite that has been damaged by a meteor and may crash to earth. Portions of content associated with the change (the change being the new article) are shown in selectable tile 602. These portions each report the change by indicating that a new article is now available, here with an image 604 of a satellite, a title of the article at 606, and a first sentence of the article at 608.
[0053] Consider also three other example selectable tiles, small selectable tiles 610 and 612, and another of the large selectable tiles 614. Small selectable tile 610 reports a change to an application associated with this tile, namely the “ASN” application. Tile 610 reports a change with a change indicator 616 marked as “*”, though this indicator 616 does not indicate how many changes or any content associated with that change. This abbreviated report on a change may be desirable when the application associated with the tile is not generally important to the user, or changes are often of a similar type and thus presenting content of the change is not meaningful, or simply because the user desires it.
[0054] Small selectable tile 612, on the other hand, does not report any changes. This non-reporting provides the user with valuable information, namely that the user need not select tile 612 to see something new for the “Duke” application, as no changes exist since the user last visited the application.
[0055] Large selectable tile 614 also does not report any changes, thus also providing the user with valuable information concerning changes (or lack thereof) for the “CSI” application.
[0056] As described, reporter 210 enables selection of applications and reports changes to those applications. Reporter 210 may also enable different selections through different areas of a tile. Consider again tile 602. Here reporter 210 enables selection through application-identifying area 618 and content presentation area 620. This application-identifying area 618 shows an application-selected identifier for the “News” application, namely “News” in a particular font and color (color not shown). Reporter 210 enables a selection made to this application-identifying area 618 to present the “News” application at a default or prior-viewed setting, such as a home page or a last-viewed page of content. Thus, on selection of application-identifying area 618, reporter 210 may refrain from presenting content associated with the reported change.
[0057] Reporter 210 enables a selection made to content presentation area 620 to present the “News” application with the change, such as presenting content associated with the change, here opening a webpage at a universal resource locator (URL) associated with the content change. In such a case, reporter 210 presents the News application having the article that was shown in part in content presentation area 620.
[0058] Some tiles may indicate multiple changes, such as reporting (with some associated content) the two newest entries to a social-networking website or emails received since the user last viewed an email application. In such a case, reporter 210 enables selection to each section reporting the change to present the associated application with content associated with that change, such as to open one of multiple emails reported.
[0059] By way of review, reporter 210 can report changes to various applications responsive to received reports, such as reports 110 of FIG. 1 , which can be received one-at-a-time, after compiling into batches, and/or from various sources. These reports 110 can be received or retrieved periodically, on selecting to display user interface 220, and/or in real time. User interface 600, for example, may alter selectable tiles as a user views it due to reports coming in and being reported. Thus, reporter 210 may act to actively update reporting for applications in a user interface through which a user can select applications.
[0060] Reporter 210 may determine which reports 110 indicate changes to an application since the user last viewed or interacted with the application, though in some other cases an entity providing the report instead determines this (e.g., remote provider 104, report compiler 106, or application 212).
[0061] Further, in some embodiments reporter 210 receives reports along with an indication of a presentation format in which the reports are preferred to be presented. This presentation format preference may be selected by an entity associated with the respective application, such as a social-networking server associated with a social-networking application, or based on user preference. Various examples of presentation formats 222 are illustrated in FIG. 6 . Large selectable tile 602, for example, presents only a most-recent change along with three portions of content for that change. Small selectable tile 610, conversely, presents only a change indicator 616 with no content.
[0062] Returning to method 500, block 504 receives selection of one of the multiple, selectable tiles, such as a tile reporting a change. The selection received can be to various areas (or sections of areas) of a selectable tile, responsive to which reporter 210 presents the application associated with the selectable tile, though how presented may vary based on which area is selected. As noted, the application associated with a selectable tile may or may not be executing. Consider, for example, large selectable tile 602 and another large selectable tile 622. Tile 602 is associated with a “News” application of applications 212 of FIG. 2 . Tile 622 is associated with an email application of applications 212. For this example, assume that the News application is not executing and that reports are received from a remote entity associated with the News application, such as remote provider 104. Assume also that the email application is local to computing device 102 and is executing. Reports 110 for the email application are received by reporter 210 direct from the email application.
[0063] Continuing the ongoing embodiment, assume that reporter 210 receives a selection to application-identifying area 618, such as through a mouse selector or a gesture via a touch-screen displaying user interface 600, such as one of displays 206 shown in FIG. 2 .
[0064] Block 506 presents the application associated with the selected tile and/or content associated with a change reported in the selected tile. When block 506 presents the application, it does so in a manner in which the application may be interacted with, e.g., in an immersive or windows-based environment. This presentation may also or instead present content associated with a reported change but not necessarily the application itself as described in further detail below.
[0065] This presentation may include launching the application and then presenting it, such as in a window via windows-based environment module 216 or in an immersive environment via immersive environment module 218, both of FIG. 2 . If the application is already executing, a launch is not needed. Responsive to receiving a selection of a selected tile, the techniques may provide a visual indication of the selection, such as to animate the selected portion of the tile. By so doing, the techniques reinforce the type of selection. Furthermore, the techniques may present, in response to the selection, an interface or menu or selectable control associated with the application and through which a user may interact, such as to select to launch the application in a particular manner or environment, at a particular content, and the like.
[0066] Concluding the ongoing embodiment, reporter 210 presents the News application in response to selection of selectable tile 602, here to application-identifying area 618. This presentation includes launching the News application, as it was not executing at selection. As noted, reporter 210 may present and/or launch an application through an instruction to another entity, such as the above-mentioned modules 216 or 218.
[0067] FIG. 7 illustrates an example presentation of the News application in an immersive environment 700. Because application-identifying area 618 was selected, a default presentation (here a home page) for the News application is shown. This home page is shown at 702 and includes various headlines 704 for selection, one of which is the most-recent article also shown at 606 in FIG. 6 . While this title is shown, the home page is presented rather than a webpage having a full representation of the content or otherwise devoted to the article, which would otherwise be presented had the selection been made to content presentation area 620.
[0068] By way of another example, consider a case where selection is received at block 504 through large selectable tile 622 of FIG. 6 , which is expanded for clarity in FIG. 8 . Tile 622 is shown having an application-identifying area 802 and a content presentation area 804. Content presentation area 804 includes four selectable sections reporting changes, sections 806, 808, 810, and 812. Each of selectable sections 806, 808, and 810 reports content associated with a change, here each a sender and a subject line of an email. Section 812 reports five changes, here that five other emails have also been received since the email application was last viewed by the user. In this example, selection is received to section 808 through a gesture 814 made to a touch screen.
[0069] Reporter 210, at block 506, presents the selected email application and content of the email associated with the selection. Here the application is currently executing, therefore reporter 210 does not launch the email application. Presentation of the email application and the change reported, rather than a home or default presentation, is shown in FIG. 9 at 902 in a window 904. Note that reporter 210 may cause this presentation in a window superimposed over the application-selectable user interface or hide the user interface and present the window in a different environment. Here reporter 210 hides the user interface and presents the email application at 902 showing content associated with the selection received at 906.
[0070] In still another example, consider again FIG. 8 . In some cases selection made to a selectable tile indicating a change may present content associated with that change. This presentation may be commensurate with presentation of the application as described above. In some other cases, the content is shown without hiding the user interface and/or without presenting the application in a conventional manner. Assume, for the selection 814 of FIG. 8 , that reporter 210, rather than presenting the email application and the content, instead presents content associated with the change on its own. In this case, more or all of the content associated with that change is shown. Assume, for example, that most or all of the content associated with a new email from Sue was received in one of the reports 110. Reporter 210 may present the rest of this content, such as within or superimposed over user interface 600.
[0071] An example of this is shown in FIG. 10 , which shows a pop-up window 1002 having more content associated with a reported change. This may also be used to expand the “5 More Emails” shown at section 812 in FIG. 8 to show, for example, the sender and subject lines for those emails. This may be used to show some content associated with a change for which no content is currently shown, such as change indicator 616 of FIG. 6 . This alternative operation of block 506 permits a user to select to see more content associated with a change, which in some cases is enough for the user to forgo selecting the application generally.
[0072] FIG. 11 depicts a method 1100 enabling presentation of, and browsing through, content changes of an application through a tile of a user interface. In portions of the following discussion reference may be made to environment 100 of FIG. 1 and as detailed in FIGS. 2-4 , reference to which is made for example only.
[0073] Block 1102 receives multiple content changes associated with an application. These content changes can be new content for the application since a most-recent visit to the application, such as by a user of computing device 102, for example. This most-recent visit may be tracked and content determined to be new in manners set forth elsewhere herein, such as based on a prior launch or tracking by a remote entity providing content during active use of the application by a user. Content changes can be received in various manners set forth elsewhere herein, such as through one or more reports 110 of FIG. 1 received by reporter 210 of FIG. 2 .
[0074] Block 1104 presents, within a tile associated with but not generated by an application, content associated with at least one of the multiple content changes received for the application. By way of example, consider again tile 602 of FIG. 6 . Note that tile 602 in the context of method 1100 is part of a user interface but not necessarily a user interface having limitations and functions of user interface 600 of FIG. 6 . For example, while user interface 600 includes multiple tiles, the tile of method 1100 may be part of, or substantially all of the visual presentation of, a user interface not having other tiles. Further, while tiles of user interface 600 described above are selectable to present an application associated with each tile, the tile of method 1100 may be selectable for other uses that may or may not include presenting the application.
[0075] Tile 602 illustrates presentation of three portions of content at 604, 606, and 608 in content presentation area 620 for one of multiple content changes, here an article about a weather satellite. The content presented in this case includes three portions of the content change for the application, though more or less of the content change may instead be presented. Assume that another content change has also been reported, such as another article that the user of computing device 102 has not yet viewed. In this example, content for this other content change has not yet been presented.
[0076] Block 1106 enables selection, through the tile, to present other content associated with another of the multiple content changes. The content in this example concerns articles for a news application, though any other types of content described herein may also or instead be presented, such as entries to a user's social networking application, emails for an email application, notifications for various types of applications, and others.
[0077] Continuing the ongoing example, consider FIG. 12 , which illustrates tile 602. Here we assume that reporter 210 of FIG. 2 enables selection through the tile to present other content. This can be described as a “browsing” function. This selection can be enabled through various selection manners described in other examples herein, such as a gesture to a touch screen or movement or clicking of a mouse selector on content presentation area 620, to name a few.
[0078] For this example, selection to present content for another content change is received through a gesture 1202 starting within content presentation area 620 and moving upward, shown with arrow 1204. While not required, tile 602 also includes additional content change indicator 1206, which indicates that other content changes are also available for presentation, here two other articles. By way of further example, selection can be enabled also or instead through selection of indicator 1206, such as with a press gesture or a mouse click on indicator 1206.
[0079] Block 1108 presents other content within the tile or visually associated with the tile responsive to the selection. Concluding the ongoing example, consider an updated version of tile 602 shown in FIG. 13 as updated tile 1302. Here content associated with another of the multiple content changes for the news application is shown generally at 1304 within the tile at content presentation area 620 and specifically with an image 1306, a title 1308, and a first portion of a body of the article at 1310. Note the change to indicator 1206 and addition of previous content indicator 1312. Indicator 1206 shows how many other content changes can be viewed (here one more article). Indicator 1312 indicates a number of content changes that have already been presented. Selection to return to the weather satellite article, for example, can be selected through a gesture opposite to that of gesture 1202 or by selecting indicator 1312, to name just a few.
[0080] FIG. 14 depicts a method 1400 enabling presentation of multiple content changes associated with an application through a tile of a user interface. This and the other methods described herein may operate separately or in conjunction with each other. In portions of the following discussion reference may be made to environment 100 of FIG. 1 and as detailed in FIGS. 2-4 , reference to which is made for example only.
[0081] Block 1402 presents, within a tile associated with an application, multiple content associated with multiple content changes of the application. Numerous examples of this are shown in user interface 600, such as tile 622 of FIGS. 6 and 8 .
[0082] Consider again tile 622 as illustrated in FIG. 8 , which shows application-identifying area 802 and content presentation area 804. Content presentation area 804 includes four selectable sections reporting changes, sections 806, 808, 810, and 812. Each of selectable sections 806, 808, and 810 reports content associated with a content change, here each a sender and a subject line of an email. Section 812 reports five changes, here that five other emails have also been received since the email application was last viewed by the user.
[0083] Block 1404 enables selection, through the tile, to present additional content. This additional content is associated with one of the multiple content changes that is already shown in part in the tile. Reporter 210, for example, can enable selection to expand the content coverage of one of the multiple content changes partially presented in the tile.
[0084] Block 1406 presents additional content associated with one of the same content changes already shown in the tile responsive to selection. Continuing the ongoing example, consider again FIG. 8 , which illustrates selection by gesture 814. This selection, similar to as described in the context of method 500 above, is for presentation of additional content for a content change associated with the email application, here through section 808 to present more of the content associated with the email from Sue.
[0085] Reporter 210 may present this additional content within or visually associated with the tile. Content shown visually associated with a tile is illustrated at 1002 as part of user interface 600 of FIG. 10 . This selection can be enabled in one or more of the numerous example selections described above, some of which displace other content of the tile or are superimposed over the tile and/or other tiles if included in the user interface.
[0086] Additional content shown within a tile is illustrated at FIG. 15 , which shows an altered version of tile 622 as altered tile 1502. Note that additional content 1504 is now presented, here some of the body of the email though not all of it is shown (the “Thanks, Sue” is missing but shown as missing with “ . . . ”). More or all of the content can further be selected through the tile or otherwise, such as with a gesture similar to that of FIG. 12 at gesture 1202 with direction shown at arrow 1204.
[0087] As shown in numerous example figures herein, a tile may be enlarged to better show details of the tile. This enlarging may be responsive to a user selection to enlarge a tile enabled by reporter 210, or responsive to another selection, such as to present different or additional content or on selection of a selectable indicator of a tile.
[0088] Note also that other content can be selected similarly as described in part in method 1100, namely through selection of indicators to move up or down through content changes. These indicators are shown in FIG. 15 at 1506 and 1508.
[0089] In addition to these methods 500, 1100, and 1400, the techniques enable still other functions and methods, including those illustrated below.
[0090] FIG. 16 illustrates an example tile 1600 as an aid in describing some of the many additional and/or alternative embodiments of the techniques. These additional and/or alternative embodiments may be used as part of, in additional to, or alternatively to those set forth above.
[0091] Tile 1600 includes indicators presenting various types of information about an associated application. Examples include an installation indicator 1602, an expiration indicator 1604, a software update indicator 1606, and an execution status indicator 1608. Installation indicator 1602 presents progress on installing the application associated with tile 1600 or progress on installing an update to the application (shown here). Expiration indicator 1604 presents an amount of time or number of uses before the application expires (e.g., a trial use or subscription expiring). Software update indicator 1606 indicates that an update is available. Execution status indicator 1608 indicates whether or not the application is currently executing. Each of these indicators may include a graphic and/or text.
[0092] The preceding discussion describes methods for presenting an application change through a tile as well as other methods. These methods are shown as sets of blocks that specify operations performed but are not necessarily limited to the order shown for performing the operations by the respective blocks.
[0093] Aspects of these methods may be implemented in hardware (e.g., fixed logic circuitry), firmware, software, manual processing, or any combination thereof. A software implementation represents program code that performs specified tasks when executed by a computer processor. The example methods may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, which can include software, applications, routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, procedures, modules, functions, and the like. The program code can be stored in one or more computer-readable memory devices, both local and/or remote to a computer processor. The methods may also be practiced in a distributed computing environment by multiple computing devices.
[0094] These techniques may be embodied on one or more of the entities shown in environment 100 of FIG. 1 (and as detailed in FIGS. 2-4 ) and/or example device 1700 described below, which may be further divided, combined, and so on. Thus, environment 100 and/or device 1700 illustrate some of many possible systems or apparatuses capable of employing the described techniques. The entities of environment 100 and/or device 1700 generally represent software, firmware, hardware, whole devices or networks, or a combination thereof. In the case of a software implementation, for instance, the entities (e.g., reporter 210 of FIG. 2 , report generator 306 of FIG. 3 , and compiler module 406 of FIG. 4 ) represent program code that performs specified tasks when executed on a processor (e.g., processor(s) 202, 302, and 402, respectively). The program code can be stored in one or more computer-readable memory devices, such as computer-readable storage media 204, 304, or 404 or computer-readable media 1714 of FIG. 17 . The features and techniques described herein are platform-independent, meaning that they may be implemented on a variety of commercial computing platforms having a variety of processors.
