Abstract
A computing device with a touch screen display simultaneously displays on the touch screen display at least a subset of a plurality of arrays of user interface objects and at least one destination object. The computing device detects a first input by a user on a destination object displayed on the touch screen display. While continuing to detect the first input by the user on the destination object, the computing device detects a second input by the user on an array name icon. In response to detecting the second input by the user on the array name icon, the computing device performs an action on all user interface objects in an array that corresponds to the array name icon. The action is associated with the destination object.
Claims15
A computing device, comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- simultaneously displaying on the touch screen display:
- at least one destination object, and
- at least a subset of a plurality of arrays of user interface objects;
- detecting a first input by a user on a destination object;
- while continuing to detect the first input by the user on the destination object, detecting a second input by the user on an array name icon;
- and,
- in response to detecting the second input by the user on the array name icon, performing an action on all user interface objects in an array that corresponds to the array name icon, wherein the action is associated with the destination object.
A method, comprising:
- at a computing device with a touch screen display:
- simultaneously displaying on the touch screen display:
- at least one destination object, and
- at least a subset of a plurality of arrays of user interface objects;
- detecting a first input by a user on a destination object;
- while continuing to detect the first input by the user on the destination object, detecting a second input by the user on an array name icon;
- and,
- in response to detecting the second input by the user on the array name icon, performing an action on all user interface objects in an array that corresponds to the array name icon, wherein the action is associated with the destination object.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a computing device with a touch screen display, cause the device to:
- simultaneously display on the touch screen display:
- at least one destination object, and
- at least a subset of a plurality of arrays of user interface objects;
- detect a first input by a user on a destination object;
- while continuing to detect the first input by the user on the destination object, detect a second input by the user on an array name icon;
- and,
- in response to detecting the second input by the user on the array name icon, perform an action on all user interface objects in an array that corresponds to the array name icon, wherein the action is associated with the destination object.
