  • Patent number: 9779695
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for visually scrolling through a stack of items displayed on a device by tilting the device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining a neutral reference point for a device, and receiving input indicating a tilting motion from the neutral reference point encountered by the device. The method also includes determining an angular displacement value of the device and a bias factor based on the tilting motion. The angular displacement value is indicative of an angular displacement of the device based on the tilting motion. The method also includes visually scrolling through the stack of items based on the angular displacement value and the bias factor. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150205473
    Abstract: Systems and methods for visually scrolling through a stack of items displayed on a device are provided. In some aspects, a system includes a detection module configured to determine a motion of the device relative to a neutral position of the device. The system also includes a display module configured to visually scroll through the stack of items in response to the motion of the device.

  • Publication number: 20150199082
    Abstract: Systems and methods for user interface management are provided. In some aspects, a first scroll beyond an original content being presented for a user is detected, where the first scroll indicates an overscroll event. Menu content is provided for display upon detection of the first scroll, where the menu content includes one or more actionable items.

  • Patent number: 8451246
    Abstract: Systems and methods for swipe gesture classification are provided. Method includes receiving indication of swipe gesture. Indication of swipe gesture includes data representing a starting location and data representing first direction. Method includes determining whether indication of swipe gesture is associated with a hold time at starting location exceeding first threshold time. Method includes determining whether first direction is within set of possible directions associated with first command. Method includes, if first direction is within set of possible directions associated with first command and indication of swipe gesture is not associated with hold time at starting location exceeding first threshold time: providing for execution of first command.

  • Patent number: 8411060
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing a swipe gesture are provided. A method includes receiving an indication of the swipe gesture via a touch screen. The indication of the swipe gesture includes a first event position on the touch screen associated with a first event time and a second event position associated with a second event time. The method also includes calculating a gesture speed for the swipe gesture. The method also includes calculating a reconstructed event position based on the gesture speed and one of the first event position and the second event position. The method also includes, if the reconstructed event position is closer to the edge than the edge threshold, providing an output associated with taking a first action. The method also includes, if the reconstructed event position is further from the edge than the edge threshold, providing an output associated with taking a second action.
