  • Touch-based gesture recognition and application navigation
    Patent number: 9430142
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a touch-sensitive surface, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs. The device displays a first user interface of a hierarchy of user interfaces of a software application associated with first and second pan gesture recognizers. The first pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a first axis and/or a first direction. The second pan gesture recognizer is configured to recognize a pan gesture that has an initial direction along a second axis and/or a second direction distinct from the first direction. The device detects a first pan gesture in an initial direction across the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the first user interface. The device identifies a pan gesture recognizer configured to recognize the first pan gesture, and processes the first pan gesture using the identified pan gesture recognizer.
