BACK GESTURE PREVIEW ON COMPUTING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18550663 titled 'BACK GESTURE PREVIEW ON COMPUTING DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for displaying a graphical user interface of an application on a computing device, responding to user input swipe gestures, and updating the interface accordingly.
- Display graphical user interface of an application on a computing device.
- Output visual indication of user input swipe gesture result.
- Update graphical user interface based on user input swipe gesture.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various touchscreen devices such as smartphones, tablets, and interactive kiosks to enhance user interaction and experience.
Problems Solved
1. Enhances user experience by providing visual feedback for swipe gestures. 2. Improves user interface responsiveness to gestures, making interactions more intuitive.
Benefits
1. Increased user engagement with applications. 2. Streamlined user interface interactions. 3. Enhanced user experience through visual feedback.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing User Interaction with Touchscreen Devices: A Method for Improved Gesture Feedback"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to gesture-based interactions on touchscreen devices, but specific examples are not provided in this context.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method handle multi-finger swipe gestures?
The abstract does not mention how the method differentiates between single-finger and multi-finger swipe gestures, which could impact the user experience and interface responsiveness.
What types of visual indications are used for different swipe gesture results?
The abstract does not specify the visual indications provided for different swipe gesture results, leaving room for exploration of potential design choices and their impact on user understanding and engagement.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example method includes, outputting, for display by a display device, a graphical user interface of an application executing at a computing device; responsive to receiving an indication of a start of a user input swipe gesture: outputting, for display by the display device and at least partially concealed by the scaled version of the graphical user interface of the application, a visual indication of a result of the user input swipe gesture: and responsive to receiving an indication of a commitment of the user input swipe gesture, outputting, for display by the display device, a graphical user interface that corresponds to the result of the user input swipe gesture.
