发明名称 Controlling an application instance using a graphical user interface
摘要 Controlling an application instance using a graphical user interface. In response to the application instance providing a user input control for accepting a command from the user, a corresponding user input control for display in a thumbnail representation of the application instance is generated. When a thumbnail representation of the application instance is displayed, the generated user input control is displayed with the thumbnail representation of the application instance. In response to a user giving a command using the generated user input control, a corresponding command is given to the application instance. An indication is provided to the user via an icon indicator displayed on the thumbnail that an application instance has a dialog box that requires a response. The thumbnail can provided message text and buttons to allow user to provide their desired response directly to the thumbnail without restoring the application instance.
