Abstract
A computer-implemented user notification method includes displaying, in a status area near a perimeter of a graphical interface, a notification of a recent alert event for a mobile device, receiving a user selection in the status area, and in response to the receipt of the user selection, displaying, in a central zone of the graphical interface, detail regarding a plurality of recent messaging events for the mobile device.
Claims21
1-22. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a touchscreen display of a computing device, an indication of a first dragging input that contacts the touchscreen display at a first edge region of the touchscreen display and that remains in contact with the touchscreen display while moving away from the first edge region and across a surface of the touchscreen display;
- in response to identifying that the first dragging input moved away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display, animating a panel to move across the touchscreen display in coordination with the movement of the first dragging input;
- in response to determining that the first dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a first location of release that is less than a particular distance from the first edge region, and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move back towards the first edge region;
- receiving, from the touchscreen display, an indication of a second dragging input that contacts the touchscreen display at the first edge region and that remains in contact with the touchscreen display while moving away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display;
- in response to identifying that the second dragging input moved away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move across the touchscreen display in coordination with the movement of the second dragging input;
- in response to determining that the second dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a second location of release that is at least the particular distance from the first edge region, and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move towards a second edge region of the touchscreen display that is across from the first edge region of the touchscreen display;
- and
- outputting, for display on the panel that has moved towards the second edge region of the touchscreen display, text that describes one or more notifications of events.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations that include:
- receiving, from a touchscreen display of a computing device, an indication of a first dragging input that contacts the touchscreen display at a first edge region of the touchscreen display and that remains in contact with the touchscreen display while moving away from the first edge region and across a surface of the touchscreen display;
- in response to identifying that the first dragging input moved away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display, animating a panel to move across the touchscreen display in coordination with the movement of the first dragging input;
- in response to determining that the first dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a first location of release that is less than a particular distance from the first edge region, and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move back towards the first edge region;
- receiving, from the touchscreen display, an indication of a second dragging input that contacts the touchscreen display at the first edge region and that remains in contact with the touchscreen display while moving away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display;
- in response to identifying that the second dragging input moved away from the first edge region and across the surface of the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move across the touchscreen display in coordination with the movement of the second dragging input;
- in response to determining that the second dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a second location of release that is at least the particular distance from the first edge region, and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move towards a second edge region of the touchscreen display that is across from the first edge region of the touchscreen display;
- and
- outputting, for display on the panel that has moved towards the second edge region of the touchscreen display, text that describes one or more notifications of events.
