Gesture input for item selection
First Claim
1. A method for item selection, comprising:
- displaying a current visual interface comprising an item list, the item list comprising a first item and a second item;
displaying, in a second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item, a second context indicator for the second item;
responsive to receiving gesture input comprising a single gesture directed to the first item and not the second item;
selecting the first item and displaying, in a first portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the first item, a first selection indicator, indicative of a selected state, for the first item;
decreasing a size of the second context indicator for the second item to generate a modified second context indicator;
generating a second selection indicator, indicative of an unselected state, associated with the second item; and
displaying, in the second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item, the second selection indicator concurrently with the modified second context indicator instead of the second context indicator; and
responsive to receiving a selection of the second selection indicator associated with the second item, selecting the second item and displaying, in the second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item, a modified second selection indicator indicative of the selected state instead of the second selection indicator.

Abstract
Many applications may display information through lists. For example, an email application may display a current visual interface comprising a list of emails. A gesture input may be received for an item within the item list. Responsive to receiving the gesture input, the item may be selected. In an example, the item list may be transitioned into an editing mode based upon the gesture input. While in the editing mode, context indicators (e.g., indicating whether an email item has been read or is unread) may be modified (e.g., shrunk) and/or selection indicators may be displayed for items within the item list. A selection indicator may be selected to select a corresponding item. In this way, gesture input (e.g., single gesture) may be used to select items and/or to transition the item list into the editing mode without transitioning away from the item list.

15. A system for item selection, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause implementation of an interface management component configured to; display a current visual interface comprising an item list, the item list comprising a first item and a second item; display, in a second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item, a second context indicator for the second item; and responsive to receiving gesture input directed to the first item and not the second item; transition the item list into an editing mode and display at least one of a first selection indicator or action text for the first item; modify a size of the second context indicator for the second item to generate a modified second context indicator at least one of without modifying a size of the second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item or without modifying a size of one or more other components of the second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item; and display, in the second portion of the current visual interface corresponding to the second item, the modified second context indicator instead of the second context indicator. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A nontransitory memory device storing instructions that, when executed on a processor of a server, cause the server to perform operations for item selection comprising:
-
displaying a current visual interface comprising an item list, the item list comprising a first item and a second item; displaying a first context indicator for the first item; displaying a second context indicator for the second item; and responsive to receiving gesture input directed to the first item and not the second item; selecting the first item; transitioning the item list into an editing mode; modifying a size of the first context indicator for the first item to generate a modified first context indicator; modifying a size of the second context indicator for the second item to generate a modified second context indicator; displaying the modified first context indicator instead of the first context indicator; displaying the modified second context indicator instead of the second context indicator; displaying a first selection indicator, different than the first context indicator, for the first item; and displaying a second selection indicator, different than the second context indicator, for the second item.
