Apple will transparente Fenster patentieren lassen

Anwalt Kheit schreibt unermüdlich bei TMO über Apples Patente, heute: "Graduated visual and manipulative translucency for windows", wofür Apple im vergangenen November einen Antrag eingereicht hat. Aus der Beschreibung: "The translucency can be graduated so that, over time, if the window's contents remain unchanged, the window becomes more translucent. In addition to visual translucency, windows according to the present invention also have a manipulative translucent quality."[…]
transwindow
This is a pretty important patent application, if it is granted. Claims 26 and 33 seem to broadly cover translucency with regard to windows:
26. A computer-readable medium for providing a graphical user interface for a computer, the computer-readable medium comprising: means for rendering a window on a display; and means for varying a level of translucency associated with said window in response to a predetermined event."
Über einige bereits genehmigte Patente (insbesondere das UI von iTunes) berichtete TMO erst vor wenigen Tagen.
