Drop Target Gestures
First Claim
1. A method implemented by a portable computer device, the method comprising:
- detecting a first input on a touch-screen that is determined as a selection of an object displayed on the touch-screen;
detecting a second input on the touch-screen that is determined as a selection of a target position to move the object, the second input being detected while the first input remains in contact with the touch-screen;
detecting that the first input is no longer in contact with the touch-screen; and
initiating a display of the object at the target position on the touch-screen giving the appearance that the object moves from a location of the first input to the target position.

Abstract
Embodiments of drop target gestures are described. In various embodiments, a first input on a touch-screen is detected and determined as a selection of an object displayed on the touch-screen. A second input on the touch-screen is detected and determined as a selection of a target position to move the object, the second input being detected while the first input remains in contact with the touch-screen. The first input is then detected as no longer being in contact with the touch-screen, and a display of the object is initiated at the target position on the touch-screen giving the appearance that the object moves from a location of the first input to the second input.

9. A method implemented by a portable computer device, the method comprising:
-
detecting an initial input on a touch-screen that is determined as a selection of a target position to move objects displayed on the touch-screen; detecting subsequent inputs on the touch-screen that are determined as object selections to move the objects proximate the target position; and initiating a display of the objects at the target position on the touch-screen giving the appearance that the objects move from respective locations of the subsequent inputs to the target position. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A portable computer device, comprising:
-
at least a memory and a processor configured to implement a drop target mode to give the appearance that objects move proximate a target position if selected on a touch-screen; a touch-screen driver configured to; detect a first input on the touch-screen that is determined as a selection of an object displayed on the touch-screen; detect a second input on the touch-screen that is determined as a selection of the target position to move the object, the second input configured for detection while the first input remains in contact with the touch-screen; detect that the first input is no longer in contact with the touch-screen; and an interface application configured to initiate a display of the object at the target position on the touch-screen. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
