Method and system for a predefined suite of consumer interactions for initiating execution of commands
First Claim
1. A computer-executed method for facilitating consumer interaction with a consumer interface, the method comprising:
- displaying a representation of an item on a consumer interface rendered on a touchscreen visual display of a computing device;
storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
a predefined first association between a first compound consumer input and a first command such that receipt of the first compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the first command, wherein the first compound consumer input is predefined from a first start point to a first end point, anda predefined second association between a second compound consumer input and a second command such that receipt of the second compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the second command, wherein the second compound consumer input is predefined from a second start point to a second end point, wherein the first end point is the same as the second start point;
receiving consumer input data from the touchscreen visual display, wherein the consumer input data corresponds to a continuous touch interaction on the touchscreen visual display;
detecting the first compound consumer input in a first portion of the continuous touch interaction from the consumer input data by comparing at least a first portion of the consumer input data corresponding to at least the first portion of the continuous touch interaction with the first compound consumer input to detect at least the first start point and the first end point;
detecting the second compound consumer input in a second portion of the continuous touch interaction from the consumer input data independently of the first compound consumer input by comparing at least a second portion of the consumer input data corresponding to at least the second portion of the continuous touch interaction with the second compound consumer input to detect at least the second start point and the second end point;
upon detection of the first compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the first command in relation to the item; and
upon detection of the second compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the second command in relation to the item.

Abstract
Embodiments provide a computer-executed method, a computer system and non-transitory computer-readable media for facilitating consumer interaction with a consumer interface. The method includes displaying a representation of an item on a consumer interface rendered on a visual display of a computing device. The method also includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable medium: a predefined first association between a first compound consumer input and a first command such that receipt of the first compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the first command, and a predefined second association between a second compound consumer input and a second command such that receipt of the second compound consumer input at the consumer interface initiates the second command. The method further includes, upon detection of the first compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the first command in relation to the item; and, upon detection of the second compound consumer input entered at the consumer interface, initiating execution of the second command in relation to the item.
