Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying content for a first web page in a first pane in a maximized state on a mobile device, receiving a touch input on a navigation control associated with the first pane, and responsive to receiving the touch input, displaying a second web page in a second pane on the mobile device, the second pane being in a minimized state in a dock area. The dock area can overlay the first pane in the maximized state and the minimized state of the second pane can display a smaller version of the second web page than the second pane in a maximized state. In some examples the second web page updates content in parallel with the first web page.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying a current pane in a maximized state and at least a first pane in a minimized state in a dock area. The current pane is a top of a stack list and displays content associated with a first location and the first pane is in a dock list and displays content associated with a second location. The minimized state for a pane is a scaled down version of the maximized state for the pane, the scale applying to the content for the pane and a size of the pane. The method also includes receiving a drag input on the first pane in the dock area and scaling the size of the first pane according to proximity to the dock area.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for displaying and interacting with multiple open views in a mobile environment. An example method can include displaying content for a first active web page in a first pane on a display, the first active web page having a first hyperlink for a first target web page, and the first pane being displayed in a maximized state on the display. The method may also include receiving a long touch input on the first hyperlink, and, responsive to receiving the long touch input, opening the first target web page in a second pane, the second pane being displayed in a minimized state in a dock area of the display, wherein a minimized state is a scaled down version of a maximized state.
