Abstract

An electronic system includes: a user interface configure to provide a plurality of an interface panel less than a display threshold for displaying on a device; and a control unit, coupled to the user interface configured to: determine a panel position for determining a view type for the plurality of the interface panel, and determine a panel dimension based on the panel position for expanding the interface panel in a focus position for displaying a subpanel.

1. An electronic system comprising:

a user interface including a display interface for displaying on a device, the user interface configured to provide a plurality instances of an interface panel representing a graphical user interface less than a display threshold, wherein a number of instances of the interface panel available is limited to an item count within an interface list, wherein the display threshold represents a limit on a number of instances of the interface panel displayable on the display interface; and

a control unit including a processor, coupled to the user interface, configured to;

determine a panel position for determining a view type for an instance of the plurality instances of the interface panel,

determine a panel dimension based on the panel position relative to a focus position for displaying a subpanel,

update the panel dimension, in response to a gesture type of a user entry, based on a rate of expansion or contraction of an interface vertical side wherein the rate reflects a percentage difference between a gesture speed and a speed threshold,

provide a interface page based on aggregating the plurality instances of the interface panel, and

determine a plurality instances of a page coverage based on a distance difference between a page center of the interface page and a display center of the display interface wherein the page coverage represents an amount of a surface area of the display interface covered by the interface page.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine an interface opacity based on the view type for the subpanel having an interface color different from the interface panel.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine the page coverage of the interface page for determining a page opacity.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to change a side angle by pivoting a slanted top side, a slanted bottom side, or a combination thereof based on a gesture direction.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to update the panel dimension based on the gesture speed for changing an adjustment degree of the panel dimension.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine an interface opacity based on the focus position for an instance of the interface panel in the focus position including an interface color different from another instance of the interface panel in the panel position different from the focus position.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine a moving set based on the gesture speed meeting or exceeding the speed threshold.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to update the panel dimension by changing a side angle of a slanted top side, a slanted bottom side, or a combination thereof based on the gesture type.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine the page coverage based on a distance difference between a page center of the interface page and a display center of a display interface.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to provide the interface page including the plurality instances of the interface panel in a peek view, a contracted view, or a combination thereof.

11. A method of operation of an electronic system comprising:

providing a plurality instances of an interface panel less than a display threshold, wherein a number of instances of the interface panel available is limited to an item count within an interface list, wherein the display threshold represents a limit on a number of instances of the interface panel displayable on the display interface;

determining a panel position with a control unit for determining a view type for an instance of the plurality instances of the interface panel;

determining a panel dimension based on the panel position relative to a focus position for displaying a subpanel;

updating the panel dimension, in response to a gesture type of a user entry, based on a rate of expansion or contraction of an interface vertical side wherein the rate reflects a percentage difference between a gesture speed and a speed threshold

providing a interface page based on aggregating the plurality instances of the interface panel, and

determining a plurality instances of a page coverage based on a distance difference between a page center of the interface page and a display center of the display interface wherein the page coverage represents an amount of a surface area of the display interface covered by the interface page.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising determining an interface opacity based on the view type for the subpanel having an interface color different from the interface panel.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising determining the page coverage of the interface page for determining a page opacity.

14. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising changing a side angle by pivoting a slanted top side, a slanted bottom side, or a combination thereof based on a gesture direction.

15. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising updating the panel dimension based on the gesture speed for changing an adjustment degree of the panel dimension.

16. A user interface including a display interface configured to display:

an interface page including a page opacity based on a page coverage;

a plurality instances of an interface panel representing a graphical user interface within the interface page displayed, less than a display threshold, wherein a number of instances of the interface panel available is limited to an item count within an interface list, wherein the display threshold represents a limit on a number of instances of the interface panel displayable on the display interface, in a view type based on a panel position, wherein a panel dimension updated, in response to a gesture type of a user entry, based on a rate expansion or contraction of an interface vertical side wherein the rate reflects a percentage difference between a gesture speed and a speed threshold;

a subpanel within the interface panel having an interface opacity different from the interface panel;

wherein;
