Mapping user inputs in two directions to a single direction for one-handed device interactions with graphical sliders

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• output, for display, a graphical user interface that includes a graphical slider, the graphical slider including a trackbar that defines an axis in a first direction and a position indicator located at a first position along the trackbar;
• receive data indicative of a user input at the trackbar, the user input having a curved path including a first displacement in the first direction and a second displacement in a second direction, the first direction perpendicular to the second direction;
• map, based on the curved path of the user input including both the first displacement in the first direction and the second displacement in the second direction, the user input to a second position along the trackbar;
• and
• output, for display, an updated graphical user interface that includes the position indicator at the second position along the trackbar.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the at least one processor to:

• output, for display, a graphical user interface that includes a graphical slider, the graphical slider including a trackbar that defines an axis in a first direction and a position indicator located at a first position along the trackbar;
• receive data indicative of a user input at the trackbar, the user input having a curved path including a first displacement in the first direction and a second displacement in a second direction, the first direction perpendicular to the second direction, wherein the user input comprises a single input device traversing an arc from one user input location to another user input location;
• map, based on the curved path of the user input including both the first displacement in the first direction and the second displacement in the second direction, the user input to a second position along the trackbar;
• and output, for display, an updated graphical user interface that includes the position indicator at the second position along the trackbar.
