Abstract
A computer-implemented user interface method includes displaying content in a first window on a display of a computing device, receiving a dragging user input on an element at a periphery of the window, and in response to receiving the dragging input, generating and displaying a second window on the display of the computing device and displaying the first window simultaneously with the second window.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- displaying first graphical content on a display of a computing device, wherein the display includes a touch input surface;
- detecting, on the touch input surface, a dragging user input from a peripheral edge of the display to a location within the display, wherein the dragging user input includes a motion having a dominant directional component generally orthogonal to the peripheral edge of the display;
- and
- in response to detecting the dragging user input:
- displaying at least a portion of the first content on the display of the computing device,
- displaying, on the display of the computing device and simultaneously with the at least a portion of the first content, a window that was not displayed on the display of the computing device when the dragging user input was initiated, wherein the window displays graphical content opened in the window, wherein the graphical content displayed in the window does not include the first content and wherein a size of the window is based on a distance of the dragging user input from the peripheral edge of the display to the location within the display.

A computing device comprising:
- a touch screen display configured to display a graphical content, and
- a processor operably connected to tangible computer memory that stores code that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to detect a dragging user input on the touch screen display from a peripheral edge of the display to a location within the display, wherein the dragging user input includes a motion having a dominant directional component generally orthogonal to the peripheral edge of the display and that causes the system, in response to detecting the dragging user input to:
- display at least a portion of the first content on the display of the computing device,
- display, on the display of the computing device and simultaneously with the at least a portion of the first content, a window that was not displayed on the display of the computing device when the dragging user input was initiated, wherein the window displays graphical content opened in the window, wherein the graphical content displayed in the window does not include the first content and wherein a size of the window is based on a distance of the dragging user input from the peripheral edge of the display to the location within the display.
