Abstract
A mobile device associates a distinct background color with each graphical window of a sequence of graphical windows, and displays, on a touch-sensitive display, a first graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows, where the first graphical window includes a first background color and one or more display elements. The mobile device also receives a user input to the touch-sensitive display, scrolls through the sequence of graphical windows based on the user input, and displays, on the touch-sensitive display, a second graphical window from the sequence of graphical windows based on the scrolling, where the second graphical window includes a second background color different than the first background color.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- associating, by a device, different background colors with a sequence of graphical windows;
- providing, by the device and for display on a screen, a first graphical window, of the sequence of graphical windows, that is associated with a first background color of the different background colors,
- the first graphical window including one or more first icons;
- providing, by the device and for display, a color input mechanism;
- receiving, by the device, a user input via a selection of a particular portion of the color input mechanism;
- determining, by the device, that the particular portion of the color input mechanism matches a second background color of the different background colors;
- automatically navigating, by the device and on the screen, from the first graphical window to a second graphical window, of the sequence of graphical windows, that is associated with the second background color based on the user input,
- the second graphical window including one or more second icons,
- the one or more second icons being different from the one or more first icons, and
- the second background color being different from the first background color;
- and
- providing, by the device and for display, a visual stimulus associated with the second background color to indicate a transition from the first graphical window to the second graphical window during navigating from the first graphical window to the second graphical window.
A device comprising:
- a processor to:
- associate different background colors with a sequence of graphical windows,
- provide, for display on a touch-sensitive display, a first graphical window, of the sequence of graphical windows, that is associated with a first background color of the different background colors,
- the first graphical window including one or more first icons,
- provide, for display on the touch-sensitive display, a color input mechanism;
- receive a user input via a selection of a particular portion of the color input mechanism,
- determine that the particular portion of the color input mechanism matches a second background color of the different background colors,
- automatically navigate, on the touch-sensitive display, from the first graphical window to a second graphical window, of the sequence of graphical windows, that is associated with the second background color based on the user input,
- the second graphical window including one or more second icons, and
- the second background color being different than the first background color, and
- provide, for display and during navigating from the first graphical window to the second graphical window, a visual stimulus associated with the second background color to indicate a transition from the first graphical window to the second graphical window.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- provide, for display, a first graphical window from a sequence of graphical windows,
- the first graphical window including a first background color and one or more first icons;
- provide, for display, a color input mechanism;
- receive a user input based on a selection of a particular portion of the color input mechanism;
- determine that the particular portion of the color input mechanism matches a second background color,
- automatically navigate, based on the user input, from the first graphical window to a second graphical window, from the sequence of graphical windows, that includes the second background color and one or more second icons;
- and
- provide, during navigating from the first graphical window to the second graphical window, information regarding the second background color to indicate a transition from the first graphical window to the second graphical window.
