  • Patent number: 10642482
    Abstract: There is provided a gesture-based GUI (system, method, etc.) to facilitate input of numerical data using a continuous swipe gesture. A gesture-based I/O device displays a GUI presenting a gross number and a gross number control to initially define a specific number for further defining with specificity. In response to a first gesture (hard click or pause) interacting with the gross number control, the specific number is initially defined as the gross number and a finer number control is presented to refine the specific number. In response to a continuous swipe gesture continuing from the first gesture and interacting with the finer number control, the interface further defines the specific number with finer specificity where a quantum varies in response to a direction and distance of the continuous swipe. Successive finer number controls may be also be presented to refine the specific number by continuing the swipe.

  • Publication number: 20200118098
    Abstract: Methods and devices for controlling display of a user interface. A computing device configured to enable data exchanges in connection with accounts, including a credit account, determines whether a requested data exchange with the credit account will result in the credit account exceeding a utilization threshold. If not, a standard interface for completing the data exchange is displayed. If the data exchange will result in exceeding the threshold, then a modified interface is displayed. The modified interface enables completion of the data exchange within a minimum time period longer than the minimum time period within which the data exchange may be completed through the standard interface. Example modifications include adding an input element or field, adding delay to display or rendering of graphics, adding pop-ups, or removing pre-populated selections or values, among others.
