Problems solved by technology

In a drawing application, the user might make a stroke across the edge and the user tries to get back into the touch-sensitive area - expecting the drawing application to be active; but instead, as a result of the inadvertent edge gesture, another feature or application may will become active
In yet another example, rapid panning (such as where the user is moving text rapidly) may result in such inadvertent edge gestures as a result of sloppy interactions

Embodiment Construction

[0015] As utilized herein, the terms "component," "system," "interface," "controller," and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, which is hardware, software (eg, being executed), and / or firmware. By way of example, any of these terms may be a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a program, and / or a computer. As an illustration, both an application running on a server and a server can be a component and / or a controller. One or more components / controllers can reside within a process and a component / controller can be localized on one computer and / or distributed between two or more computers.

[0016] Additionally, components, controllers, and computing devices may generally include a variety of computer-readable storage devices and / or media. By way of example and not limitation, computer readable storage devices and / or media may include: random access memory (RAM); read only memory (ROM); electronically erasable programmab...

Abstract

Systems and methods of blocking, ignoring, suspending, or otherwise altering edge-related UI gestures on touch-sensitive computing devices or on non-touch sensitive computing devices having active edge I / O commands in certain situations are disclosed. In one embodiment, a second UI gesture coming from an outside edge may be altered after a first UI gesture from a user using an running application under certain conditions - e.g., if the second UI gesture is made within a certain time period after the first UI gesture, the second UI gesture is made within a certain proximity of the first UI gesture, etc. In another embodiment, a computing device is disclosed that comprises a controller, a display screen and an operating system that alters certain edge-related UI gestures that might be made by an operating system if, e.g., certain conditions are present.

Description

Background technique [0001] While using a computing device with a display screen (eg, a touch-sensitive or other display screen), a user may occasionally inadvertently perform an I / O gesture near an edge of the screen when the user does not actually intend to make such a gesture. For example, such a gesture might be panning on the screen to move an image on the screen - and leaving the screen on the edge and then re-entering the display area. [0002] For another example involving touch-sensitive computing devices, such inadvertent edge gestures might occur in something such as a drawing application. In a drawing application, the user might make a stroke across the edge and the user tries to get back into the touch-sensitive area - expecting the drawing application to be active; but instead, as a result of the inadvertent edge gesture, another feature or application may will become active. In yet another example, rapid panning (eg, where the user is moving text rapidly) may ...
