  • Patent number: 8797286
    Abstract: A user interface of a touch sensitive display for an electronic device and method for managing a state of a user interface of a touch sensitive display between a locked state and an unlocked state are provided. The touch sensitive display is adapted for receiving a user interaction with the touch sensitive display at a location along the display surface including a display element selection and a defined path. The state of the user interface is changed from the locked state to the unlocked state when a state change module detects display elements in respective unlock positions, where a lock state interface module including a path analyzer having an avoid area comparator determines whether a gesture attempting to transition a display element from a lock position to its respective unlock position interacts with an avoid area, and if so returning the display element to its preselection position.

  • Publication number: 20130027319
    Abstract: A user interface for an electronic device and method for managing a state of a user interface between a locked state and an unlocked state are provided. The user interface has a touch sensitive display having a display surface, the touch sensitive display being adapted for presenting to a user at a respective position at least one display element along the display surface. The touch sensitive display is further adapted for receiving from the user, a user interaction with the touch sensitive display at a location along the display surface including a display element selection and a defined path. The user interface further includes a controller, where the controller includes a user interface state module having an unlocked state and a locked state adapted for selectively enabling and disabling at least a portion of the user interface. The controller further includes a state change module adapted for switching the state of the user interface state module between the locked state and the unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20130027433
    Abstract: A user interface for an electronic device and method for managing a state between a locked state and an unlocked state of a user interface having a touch sensitive display are provided. The user interface has a controller including a state change module for switching the state of the user interface between the locked state and the unlocked state, when the state change module detects each of at least one display element in a respective unlock position, wherein the respective unlock position includes a placement within a respective predetermined area and a rotational direction in a respective predetermined orientation. In at least some instances, while in a locked state, a display element in a lock position can be transitioned to an unlock position and a display element in an unlock position can be transitioned to a lock position.

  • Publication number: 20110320980
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of an electronic device for providing a visual representation of a contact widget, in which the electronic device includes a display and an input component associated with the display. A display provides a contact widget including positions for task representations. An input component then detects selection of a particular position of the contact widget. Next, the input component detects selection of a particular task of a contact list associated with the contact widget. Thereafter, the display provides a representation of the particular task at the particular position.
