Abstract
A device displays, on a screen, a graphical window from a sequence of graphical windows, where the graphical window includes a group of display elements. The device also receives a user input to the graphical window and identifies a type of the user input, where the type of the user input includes a horizontal input or a vertical input. The device displays, on the screen, another graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows when the type of user input is a horizontal input and scrolls through a stack of the display elements within the graphical window when the type of user input is a vertical input.
Claims20
A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying, on a screen of the computing device, a graphical window from a sequence of graphical windows, the graphical window including a group of display elements;
- receiving a user input to the graphical window;
- identifying a type of the user input, where the type of the user input includes a horizontal input or a vertical input;
- displaying, on the screen of the computing device, another graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows when the type of user input is horizontal input;
- and
- scrolling through a stack of the display elements within the graphical window when the type of user input is vertical input.
A device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- a memory to store a plurality of instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute instructions in the memory to:
- display, on the touch-sensitive display, a graphical window from a sequence of graphical windows, the graphical window including a group of display elements;
- receive a user input to the graphical window;
- identify a type of the user input, where the type of the user input includes a selection input or a horizontal input;
- associate the location of the user input with a particular display element of the group of display elements when the type of user input is selection input;
- and
- display, on the touch-sensitive display, another graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows when the type of user input is horizontal input.
A device, comprising:
- means for displaying, on a screen of the computing device, a graphical window from a sequence of graphical windows, the graphical window including a group of display elements;
- means for receiving a user input to the graphical window;
- means for identifying a type of the user input, the type of the user input including a vertical input, a horizontal input, or a selection input;
- scrolling through a stack of the display elements within the graphical window when the type of user input is vertical input;
- displaying, on the screen of the computing device, another graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows when the type of user input is horizontal input;
- and
- associating the location of the user input with a particular display element of the group of display elements and launching an application associated with the particular display element when the type of user input is selection input.
