Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose an adjustable timeline user interface for a mobile device. According to one embodiment, in response to a detected touch input on the display of the device, a zoom classification level and/or scrolling feature for the timeline interface is determined based on the number of fingers, finger movement speed, and/or finger direction associated with the touch input. Consequently, the timeline interface and associated data collection is adjusted in accordance with the determined zoom classification level and/or scrolling feature.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for providing an adjustable timeline interface on a device, the method comprising:
- detecting touch input on a display associated with said device;
- and
- determining, in response to said touch input, a zoom classification level and/or scrolling feature for the timeline interface based on the number of fingers, finger movement speed, and/or finger direction associated with said touch input,
- wherein the timeline interface and an associated data collection is adjusted in accordance with the determined zoom classification level and/or scrolling feature.
A system for proving an adjustable timeline user interface on a portable electronic device, the system comprising:
- a touch-enabled display for displaying an interactive timeline and configured to receive touch input from an operating user:
- and
- a timeline control module configured to adjust, in response to a detected touch input, a zoom classification level and/or scrolling feature for the timeline interface and an associated data collection based on the number of fingers, finger movement speed, and/or finger direction associated with the touch input.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored executable instructions for providing an adjustable timeline user interface on a portable electronic device having a display, and that when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- detect a touch input from a user on said display;
- determine, in response to said touch input, an adjustment view of the interface timeline that enables:
- scrolling the timeline forward or backward based on the number of fingers, finger movement speed, and finger movement direction associated the touch input, and
- modifying the zoom classification level based on a detected pinch operation and the current zoom classification level.
