The group mode can be invoked in response to a swipe gesture, a press-and-hold gesture, and/or other user input indicative that the group mode is desired. The user may interact with the bundle once it is formed, including sharing or organizing the bundle as desired, for example. In some cases, the user input used to invoke the group mode may also be used to invoke a bundle interaction, such as to group and share the bundle using a single swipe gesture. In some cases, the user may be able to select the objects desired to be grouped and cause them to be grouped into a bundle using the same user input, such as one continuous swipe gesture. | 11-06-2014 |
20140380245 | SUPPORTING NAVIGATION ON TOUCH SCREENS DISPLAYING ELEMENTS ORGANIZED IN A FIXED NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS - An aspect of the present disclosure stores information related to the elements in the form of an array of objects. Each object contains information indicating the area covered by the object on the display. The index values used for accessing an element may be viewed as forming an N-tuple, with each value of the N-tuple representing the value of the corresponding dimension/index. A swipe is first mapped to a single one of the dimensions and an end position along the dimension. The value of the tuple corresponding to only the dimension is modified and the object corresponding to the tuple is accessed. The area information in the accessed object is examined to determine whether the end position of swipe falls in the display area covered by the element. The tuple value of only the dimension is modified in searching for the element that covers the end position. | 12-25-2014 |

20160062607 | AUTOMATIC PROCESSING WITH MULTI-SELECTION INTERFACE - A multi-selection system allows selection of multiple displayed items in a GUI, and processes an underlying data set based on the selection. Users may utilize swipes or concurrent point interactions with the GUI to co-select items. The system identifies actions to perform for selected items based on selection criteria associated with the selected items, or mapping data that maps the selected items to actions. The system automatically identifies grouping criteria for data returned from performed actions and displays resulting groups for further user selection. The system provides suggestive visual highlights that identify commonly co-selected items in the interface. The system collects instrumentation items, for historical usage data, that record aspects of users' interactions with the system. As such, the system may identify, from the historical usage data, sets of commonly co-selected items, mappings between combinations of items and one or more actions, productive arrangements of items displayed in GUIs, etc. | 03-03-2016 |
