Abstract
Content may be displayed on a touch-screen display of a device as part of a graphical interface in which the content is divided into categories or sections, and each category/section is associated with a graphical tab. The device may detect a selection of one of the graphic tabs based on a touch gesture received by the touch-screen display and display, on the touch-screen display, content items corresponding to the subset of content items for the selected tab.
Claims25
A computing device-implemented method comprising:
- retrieving an identification of a set of content items in response to a user request for information;
- displaying a graphical interface on a display associated with the computing device, the graphical interface including a plurality of selectable graphic tabs, each tab corresponding to a subset of the set of content items;
- detecting a selection of one of the graphic tabs based on a gesture made by a user of the computing-device;
- and
- displaying, on the display, content items corresponding to the subset of the set of content items for the selected tab.
A device comprising:
- a touch-screen display;
- a memory to store programming instruction;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory and the touch-screen display, the processing unit executing the programming instructions to:
- retrieve an identification of a set of content items in response to a user request for information,
- display, on the touch-screen display, a graphical interface, the graphical interface including a plurality of selectable graphic tabs, each tab corresponding to a subset of the set of content items,
- detect a selection of one of the graphic tabs based on a touch gesture on the touch-screen display, and
- display, on the touch-screen display, content items corresponding to the subset of content items for the selected tab.
A device comprising:
- means to retrieve an identification of a set of content items in response to a user request for information;
- means to display a graphical interface on display, the graphical interface including a plurality of selectable graphic tabs, each tab corresponding to a subset of the set of content items;
- means to detect a selection of one of the graphic tabs based on a gesture made by a user of the computing-device;
- and
- means to display, on the display, content items corresponding to the subset of content items for the selected tab.
