Embodiment Construction

[0020] Many electronic devices allow users to navigate user interfaces and perform navigation and search functions. The electronic devices described below improve on these methods by providing users with faster, more efficient and better integrated methods and interfaces to navigate multi-page application launcher interfaces and search for content. For example, the device enables a search input interface to be accessed directly from a plurality of different pages of a multi-page application launch interface, while also allowing a user to easily navigate between different pages in the multi-page application launch interface. The device also allows a user to navigate directly from a multi-page application launcher interface to additional functionality, such as a notification interface, a multitasking interface, and / or a settings interface, using simple touch input.

[0021] under, Figures 1A-1B , figure 2 with image 3 A description of exemplary devices is provided. Figur...

Abstract

A device with touch-sensitive surface and display is configured to: display a page of a multi-page interface; and detect an input that includes a contact and movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The device is further configured to, in response to detecting the input: if the input meets next-page display criteria, where the next-page display criteria include a criterion that is met when the contact moves by more than a predefined amount in a first predetermined direction, replace display of the page with display of a second page of the multi-page interface; and if the input meets search-interface display criteria, where the search-interface display criteria include a criterion that is met when the contact moves by more than the predefined amount in a second predetermined direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, display a search interface that includes a search input field for inputting search terms.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that provide navigation and search functionality. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used for manipulating and navigating user interfaces. [0003] A user may use touch input to navigate the user interface and perform searches. However, the methods used to perform these operations are cumbersome and inefficient. Additionally, these methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy. The latter consideration is especially important in battery-powered devices. Contents of the invention [0004] Therefore, there is a need for electronic device...
