Abstract
A computing device-implemented method and the computing device thereof are provided. A center area and an outer area of the picture displayed on the touch-sensitive screen are defined. An image processing operation, such as zooming in, zooming out, or movement on the picture displayed on the touch-sensitive screen is performed based on the relationship of the initial location and the orientation of the sliding motion, and the center area and the outer area of the picture. Therefore, basic picture operations can be carried out by a single finger possibly while holding the device with the same palm to improve usability and to user safety.
Claims20
A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of the computing device, that a sliding motion is being made on a touch screen of the computing device;
- detecting, by the processor and in response to detecting the sliding motion, an initial location and an initial orientation of the sliding motion;
- identifying, by the processor and in response to detecting the sliding motion and the initial location and the initial orientation of the sliding motion, an item, being displayed by the touch screen, wherein a center area and an outer area of the item are defined;
- and
- zooming in or zooming out, by the processor, on the item displayed on the touch screen based on the relationship of the initial location and the initial orientation of the sliding motion, and the center area and the outer area of the item and in response to the processor detecting that the sliding motion is being made on the touch screen.
A computing device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive screen;
- a memory to store a plurality of instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute instructions in the memory to:
- detect a sliding motion is being made on the touch-sensitive screen;
- detect, in response to detecting the sliding motion, an initial location and an initial orientation of the sliding motion;
- identify, in response to detecting the sliding motion and the initial location and the initial orientation of the sliding motion, an item, being displayed by the touch screen, wherein a center area and an outer area of the item are defined;
- and
- zoom in or zoom out on the item displayed on the touch-sensitive screen, in response to the processor detecting that the sliding motion is being made on the touch-sensitive screen, based on the relationship of the initial location and the orientation of the sliding motion, and the center area and the outer area of the item.
