Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for manipulating data of an electronic device, including a means for opening a displayed icon, a means for displaying one or more sets of properties of the displayed icon, and a means for activating one or more features of the displayed icon. The manipulating data also includes a means for transferring data of a file or folder represented by the displayed icon from the electronic device to a second electronic device when the second electronic device is located within a distance equal to or less than a maximum threshold distance from the electronic device.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch panel by which a user selects one or more inputs on a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a display screen to initiate one or more functions;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- open a displayed icon when a first extended touch of a time equal to or greater than a minimum time of touch by a finger or stylus is detected upon the displayed icon on the touch panel of the electronic device,
- display one or more sets of properties of the displayed icon when one or more fast clicks by the finger or stylus are detected upon the displayed icon,
- activate one or more features of the displayed icon when a continuous scrolling motion is detected upon the displayed icon of the electronic device subsequent to detecting a second extended touch by the finger or stylus upon the displayed icon on the touch panel of the electronic device, wherein a time of the second extended touch is less than a time of the first extended touch, and
- transfer data of a file or folder represented by the displayed icon from the electronic device to a second electronic device located within a distance equal to or less than a maximum threshold distance when a rolling scroll motion towards the second electronic device is detected upon the displayed icon of the electronic device subsequent to detecting a third extended touch by the finger or stylus upon the displayed icon representing the file or folder, wherein a time of the third extended touch is less than a time of the first extended touch.

A method of manipulating data, the method comprising:
- opening the displayed icon, when a first extended touch of a time equal to or greater than a minimum time of touch by a finger or stylus is detected upon a displayed icon on a touch panel of an electronic device;
- displaying one or more sets of properties of the displayed icon, when one or more fast clicks by the finger or stylus are detected upon the displayed icon;
- activating one or more features of the displayed icon, via a processor, when a continuous scrolling motion is detected upon the displayed icon of the electronic device subsequent to detecting a second extended touch by the finger or stylus upon the displayed icon on the touch panel of the electronic device, wherein a time of the second extended touch is less than a time of the first extended touch;
- and
- transferring data of the file or folder represented by the displayed icon from the electronic device to a second electronic device when the second electronic device is located within a distance equal to or less than a maximum threshold distance from the electronic device, via the processor, when a rolling scroll motion towards the second electronic device is detected upon the displayed icon of the electronic device subsequent to detecting a third extended touch by the finger or stylus upon the displayed icon representing a file or folder, wherein a time of the third extended touch is less than a time of the first extended touch.
