CREATING ORGANIZATIONAL CONTAINERS ON A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. In a computing device including a touch-sensitive graphical user interface, a method of organizing content items presented on the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, comprising:
- receiving a touch gesture at the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, the touch gesture defining a set of zero or more content items to be grouped together and further defining a region of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
forming an organizational container responsive to receiving the touch gesture at the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
presenting a boundary on the touch-sensitive graphical user interface at or near the region defined by the touch gesture, the boundary defining the organizational container;
moving the set of content items into the organizational container; and
presenting the set of content items on the touch-sensitive graphical user interface within the boundary defining the organizational container, the set of content items arranged within the boundary according to an organized view.
