Improved method for selecting an element of a graphical user interface

A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions for executing a method when the instructions are executed by a processor of a device, wherein the method includes selecting at least one element of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed on a display of the device using a touch interface of said device, and wherein the instructions configure the device to perform the following acts:

• detecting on the touch interface a double touch input, said double touch input comprising a first touch input and a second touch input on the touch interface, said first and second touch inputs respectively corresponding to a first location and a second location on the GUI,
• determining a selection location located between the first and second locations,
• upon detecting a release of the first touch input, determining a first selection location corresponding to the selection location at the moment of the release of the first touch input,
• determining a second selection location on the GUI as defined by a user using the touch interface, and
• executing a selection of at least one GUI element located between the first and second selection locations.

An apparatus comprising:

• a control module for an electronic device comprising a touch interface and being configured to display a Graphical User Interface (GUI), said control module comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the control module to perform acts comprising:
• upon detection on said touch interface of a double touch input comprising a first touch input and a second touch input on the touch interface, said first and second touch inputs respectively corresponding to a first and a second location on the GUI, determining a selection location located between the first and second locations,
• upon detection of a release of the first touch input, determining a first selection location corresponding to the selection location at the moment of the release of the first touch input,
• determining a second selection location as defined by a user on the GUI using the touch interface,
• executing a selection of at least one GUI element located between the first and second selection locations.
