U.S. Patent US 11,989,401 B1
Configurable Bottom Screen Dock for Mobile and Electronic Devices (Virtual Screens Included)
Executive Summary
The patented technology outlines a persistent and configurable bottom-dock structural interface operating on a separate architectural plane. It enables continuous display of targeted external content without interrupting or overlaying background processes. This discrete layer maintains constant visibility across smartphones, tablets, desktop browsers, and VR/AR environments, establishing a continuous delivery ecosystem entirely distinct from native OS restrictions.
How It Works
Configurable bottom dock persistent on a smartphone display, presenting supplementary content without diminishing main application usability.
Architectural pipeline: from distinct servers, through ISP pathways/channels, directly streaming to the dedicated device interface plane.
Key Elements of the Invention
Persistent Dock
- Always visible interface dimension
- Separate operational priority over native frames
- Maintains context stability passively
Configurable Bounds
- Adjustable static dimensions and position
- Typically bound to 3% of total screen height
- Preserves optimal host usability and real estate
External Delivery
- Independent delivery servers decouple limitations
- Pushes rich content directly into the device dock
- Enables dynamic infotainment and alert injection
Interactivity
- Full interactive action and touch events supported
- Supports expansion to full-screen modularity
- Seamless collapse back to discrete dock state
