Abstract
Examples of performing an update of a display device are described. In some implementations, user gesture data may be received in response to a user gesture being performed on a touch sensitive surface of the display device. In response to determining that the user gesture data is unrecognized, performing one or more default actions, including performing an update of the display device. The update may include performing a flash of the display device. The user gesture data may be associated with the one or more actions automatically or in response to the user providing input to associate the user gesture data with the one or more actions. The user gesture and the associated one or more actions may be stored such that the update of the display device may be performed when the user gesture is subsequently performed.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a touchscreen display;
- one or more processors coupled to the touchscreen display;
- and
- computer-readable storage media comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- presenting a portion of a digital item on the touchscreen display;
- receiving user gesture data corresponding to a user gesture performed on the touchscreen display;
- comparing the user gesture data to one or more stored gesture data items;
- and
- determining that the user gesture data does not match the one or more stored user gesture data items;
- and
- performing a flash update of the touchscreen display, the flash update comprising:
- changing each pixel of the touchscreen display to a first color;
- changing each pixel of the touchscreen display from the first color to a second color to normalize a contrast of pixels of the touchscreen display;
- and
- re-displaying the portion of the digital item.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting a portion of content of an item on a touchscreen display;
- receiving user gesture data in response to a user gesture being performed on the touchscreen display;
- comparing the user gesture data with previously stored gesture data items;
- determining that the user gesture data differs from individual ones of the previously stored gesture data items;
- performing a flash update of the touchscreen display to reduce a ghosting of the touchscreen display, the flash update comprising:
- changing each pixel of the touchscreen display to a first color;
- changing the each pixel of the touchscreen display from the first color to a second color;
- and
- re-displaying the portion of the content of the item;
- creating an association of the user gesture data with the flash update;
- and
- storing the user gesture data and the association with the flash update.
A computing device comprising:
- a display device having a touch sensitive surface and comprising a plurality of pixels;
- one or more processors coupled to the display device;
- and
- computer-readable media comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- displaying a portion of media content on the display device;
- receiving user gesture data in response to a user gesture being performed on the touch sensitive surface of the display device;
- comparing the user gesture data with one or more stored gesture data items;
- determining that the user gesture data differs from the one or more stored gesture data items;
- performing a flash update of the display device to reduce a visual effect of ghosting, the flash update comprising:
- changing each pixel of the plurality of pixels to a first color;
- changing each pixel of the plurality of pixels from the first color to a second color;
- and
- displaying the portion of the media content.
