EDGE GESTURE INTERFACE WITH SMART INTERACTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240353991 titled 'EDGE GESTURE INTERFACE WITH SMART INTERACTIONS
The patent application describes a method and system for a geographically-based graphical user interface (GUI) designed for single-handed operation of a device. The system involves displaying map data in different views based on user input characteristics.
- The method includes displaying map data in a first view on the GUI.
- User input, such as touch or gestures, is received and analyzed for specific characteristics.
- Based on the characteristics of the input, the system switches between different operational modes and displays the map data in corresponding views.
- The first operational mode triggers a switch to a second view, while the second operational mode triggers a switch to a third view.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in mobile devices, navigation systems, and other location-based applications that require single-handed operation.
Problems Solved: This system addresses the challenge of providing an intuitive and efficient GUI for interacting with map data on a device with limited input options.
Benefits: Users can easily navigate and interact with map data using a single hand, improving the overall user experience and convenience.
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for companies developing mobile mapping applications, GPS devices, and other location-based services.
Questions about Geographically-Based GUI: 1. How does this system enhance user interaction with map data on mobile devices? 2. What are the key advantages of using a geographically-based GUI for single-handed operation?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, user interfaces, media, and devices provide a geographically-based graphical user interface (gui) suited to single-handed operation of a device. the method and system provide for causing display of a gui including map data displayed in a first view; receiving input comprising at least one input point; determining first and second characteristics of the input; processing, when the first characteristic fulfils a first operational mode criterion, the input according to a first operational mode and causing display of the map data in a second view, the second view being based on the second characteristic of the input; and processing, when the first characteristic of the input fulfils a second operational mode criterion, the input according to a second operational mode, and causing display of the map data in a third view, the third view being based on the second characteristic of the input.
