SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SETTINGS CARDS
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for the presentation, configuration and operation of an application, including a user interface. In one embodiment, a method includes allowing one or more card elements for a user interface of a device to interact with other devices. Another embodiment is directed to a device configured to provide a user interface and allow for user interaction, including interaction with other devices. The device includes one or more elements to present one or more card elements for a user interface of the device. The device may include a display and a controller configured to control presentation of a card element for a user interface of a device, and control operation of at least one of the device and the user interface based on an operation associated with the card element.
1 . A method for using a card, the method comprising:
displaying, by a first device, a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more devices;
displaying, by the first device, a graphical element for a card, based on a selection of the card on the user interface;
detecting, by the first device, a control input, the control input being an input for the card; and
outputting, by the first device, a control command based on the control input, wherein the control command is configured to control the operation of one or more devices associated with the card.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the card is a micro-application configured to control one or more devices associated with the card.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the control command is configured to control the operation of a display device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the control command is configured to control a plurality of devices.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the control command is pre-configured to control a plurality of associated devices.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the card is configured for limited control functionality of devices associated with the card.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the card is configured to be loaned to devices associated within a location of card devices.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the card stores a favorite profile for a device.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the card stores a user profile associated with access to devices based on preferred settings.
10 . A device comprising:
a display; and
a controller coupled to the display, wherein the controller is configured to
control display of a user interface, wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more card elements, and wherein the user interface is presented including graphical elements for one or more of a plurality of devices;
control display of display a graphical element for a card, based on a selection of the card on the user interface;
detect a control input, the control input being an input for the card; and
output a control command based on the control input, wherein the control command is configured to control the operation of the plurality of devices associated with the card.
11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the card is a micro-application configured to control one or more devices associated with the card.
12 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the control command is configured to control the operation of a display device.
13 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the control command is configured to control the plurality of devices.
14 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the control command is pre-configured to control a plurality of associated devices.
15 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the card is configured for limited control functionality of devices associated with the card.
16 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the card is configured to be loaned to devices associated within a location of card devices.
17 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the card stores a favorite profile for a device.
18 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the card stores a user profile associated with access to devices based on preferred settings.
