Content manipulation using swipe gesture recognition technology
First Claim
1. A method for providing a user interface for a touchscreen of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving from an application running on a processor of the mobile device, via a network, a request for content;
combining the requested content with a swipe gesture recognition module to form a content package, wherein the swipe gesture recognition module is associated in the content package with at least one displayable element referenced by a first network identifier and a webpage referenced by a second network identifier, and the swipe gesture recognition module references an external swipe behavior script library; and
sending the content package via the network to the application running on the mobile device,wherein the swipe gesture recognition module comprises script which performs swipe gesture recognition while the at least one displayable element is displayed on the mobile device by the application, the swipe gesture recognition comprising;
entering a listening mode to await detection of a touch start event,continuously listening for touch input data from the touchscreen of the mobile device after the touch start event is detected until a touch end event is detected,determining whether a swipe gesture has occurred based on analysis of the touch input data using the external swipe behavior script library, wherein the analysis comprises at least in part a touch start location and a touch end location of the touch input data, from the touch start event to the touch end event, being different,initiating navigation to the webpage, based on the second network identifier, if the determining indicates that a swipe gesture has occurred, andinitiating an operation other than navigation to the webpage, if the determining indicates that a touch other than a swipe gesture has occurred.

Abstract
A method of manipulation of content provided by a hosting server using swipe gesture recognition on a user device having a touch input display. The method includes storing the content, combined with a swipe gesture recognition module to form a content package, on the hosting server. The swipe gesture recognition module is associated with at least one displayable content element of the content. The method further includes receiving, at the hosting server, a request for the content package from the user device and transmitting the content package from the hosting server to the user device for display by an application running on the user device. A defined action is applied to the at least one displayable content element if it is determined that a swipe gesture has occurred on the at least one displayable content element.
