Interface for presenting data representations in a screen-area inset

提供用于在屏幕区域内嵌图中呈现各种数据表示的方法、应用接口和媒体。内嵌图可以为图形用户接口的一个或多个有界的部分。内嵌图提供画中画类型的功能，用来在持续可视的屏幕区域中呈现视频、数据、图像、音频和其他数据表示，所述屏幕区域不占据显示设备的全部。所述API包括允许软件组件使用内嵌图的指令。所述方法包括接收一个或多个和内嵌图相关的事件请求、发送它们至软件应用或操作系统、接收一个或多个数据集以满足事件请求，以及发送数据集至原来的软件应用以在内嵌图中呈现数据表示。 A method, application interface, and medium is provided for presenting a variety of data representations in a screen-area inset. The inset(s) can be one or more bounded portions of a graphical user interface. The inset offers a picture-in-picture type of functionality to present videos, data, pictures, audio, and other data representations in a persistently viewable screen area that does not consume the entirety of a display device. The API includes instructions to allow software components to use the inset. The method includes receiving one or more event requests related to the inset, communicating them to a software application or operating system, receiving one or more data sets to satisfy the event requests, and communicating the data sets to the original software application to present a data representation in the inset.
