Abstract: A user-activatable dashboard (also referred to as a unified interest layer) contains any number of user interface elements, referred to herein as "widgets", for quick access by a user. In response to a command from a user, the dashboard is invoked and the widgets are shown on the screen. The user can activate the dashboard at any time, causing the dashboard to temporarily replace the existing user interface display on the user's screen. Once the dashboard has been activated, the user can interact with any or all of the widgets, and can configure the dashboard by adding, deleting, moving, or configuring individual widgets as desired. When the user wishes to return to the normal user interface he or she was working with, the user issues a command causing the dashboard to be dismissed. Once the dashboard has been dismissed, the previous user interface state is restored, allowing the user to resume normal interactions with the operating system.

Abstract translation: 用户可激活的仪表板（也称为统一的兴趣层）包含任何数量的用户界面元素，这里称为“小部件”，以供用户快速访问。 为了响应来自用户的命令，仪表板被调用并且小部件显示在屏幕上。 用户可以随时激活仪表板，导致仪表板暂时替换用户屏幕上现有的用户界面显示。 一旦仪表板被激活，用户就可以与任何或全部小部件交互，并且可以根据需要通过添加，删除，移动或配置个别小部件来配置仪表板。 当用户希望返回到他或她正在使用的正常用户界面时，用户发出命令，导致仪表板被解散。 一旦仪表板解散，以前的用户界面状态就会恢复，允许用户恢复与操作系统的正常交互。
