Abstract
Embodiments related to the manipulation of lists via a multi-touch display are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment comprises a computing device having a touch-sensitive display, a processor, and memory. The memory comprises code executable by the processor to display a scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, to detect a first touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, and, in response, to scroll the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display. The memory further comprises code executable by the processor to detect a second, multi-touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, and in response to adjust a displayed range of the scrollable list of items.
Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising code executable by the processor to:
- display a scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display;
- detect a first touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, and in response to scroll the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- to detect a second, multi-touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, and in response to adjust a detected range of the scrollable list of items.
A computing device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising code executable by the processor to:
- display a scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display;
- detect a first touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display, and in response to scroll the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display at a scroll rate proportional to the first touch gesture, the first touch gesture comprising motion along a path within a first range of directions;
- and
- to detect a second, multi-touch gesture over the scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display and, in response, to adjust a displayed range of the scrollable list of items and a proportional correspondence between a rate of movement of the first touch gesture and the scroll rate,
- wherein the second, multi-touch gesture comprises motion along a path within a second range of directions transverse to the first range of directions.
A method operating a computing device, the computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display, the method comprising:
- displaying a scrollable list of items on the touch-sensitive display;
- detecting a first touch gesture and a second, multi-touch gesture over the scrollable list of items at overlapping time intervals;
- in response to the first touch gesture, scrolling the scrollable list of items at a rate proportionally corresponding to the first touch gesture;
- and
- in response to the second, multi-touch gesture, adjusting a range of the scrollable list of items displayed on the touch-sensitive display.
