US 2016/0239176 A1 · Dynamic Modification of Content Presentation Based on Attributes of Received Input

Abstract

A client device presents content items in various regions of a display device. When the client device receives an input associated with a region, the client device determines attributes of the input and modifies presentation of the content items accordingly. For example based on a position of a received input along its axis, a direction of movement of the received input, a veocity associated with the received input, the client device retrieves a model for modifying one or more regions of the display device presenting content items. In various embodiments, models stored by the client device are associatedwith distances from an axis, directions of motion and/or velocities and arc identified based on a suitable attribute of the received input.
