Patent number: 11954313Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods that provide users with efficient and effective user experiences when browsing, selecting, or inspecting content items. More specifically, systems and methods described herein provide users the ability to easily and effectively select multiple content items via a single touch gesture (e.g., swipe gesture). Additionally, systems and methods disclosed herein can allow users to select various content items in a selection interface, preview a content item, and return to the selection interface with the previous selections remaining in tact. Still further, systems and methods described herein allow users to transition between a content graphical user interface and a selection interface based on touch gestures with content items.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Jan Senderek, Daniel Tobias Wagner, Leonard Fink

Publication number: 20230289055Abstract: A method includes displaying information associated with an application on an electronic device, providing a visual notification of a received communication, and detecting a gesture. In response to detecting the gesture, a first part of an inbox is displayed while reducing display of the information, including at least partially displaying information associated with the received communication. Based on a characteristic of the gesture, providing the visual notification is discontinued.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Andrew Douglas BOCKING, Donald James LINDSAY, Daniel Tobias RYDENHAG
