METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RENDERING A COLLECTION OF WIDGETS ON A MOBILE DEVICE DISPLAY

摘要

A system renders a collection of widgets on a mobile device display by identifying a first appearance and a second appearance associated with a respective rendering of a first and second collection of widgets on the mobile device display. The system transitions from the rendering of the first collection to the second. The system receives notification to transition the collection of widgets on the mobile device display from a two-dimensional presentation to a three-dimensional presentation. The system renders a native widget on the mobile device display utilizing a native interface by identifying a non-native widget requiring a non-native interface to operate on the mobile device display. The system provides a proxy widget to host the non-native widget allowing the non-native widget to operate on the mobile device display utilizing the native interface.
