Copy and Staple Gestures
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device;
recognizing a second input as movement from within a bounds of the object to outside the bounds of the object, the movement recognized as occurring while the object is selected; and
identifying a copy gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the copy gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object to follow subsequent movement of a source of the second input.

Abstract
Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs to a computing device. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, including bimodal gestures (e.g., using more than one type of input) and single modal gestures. Additionally, the gesture techniques may be configured to leverage these different input types to increase the amount of gestures that are made available to initiate operations of a computing device.

-
recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device; recognizing a second input as movement from within a bounds of the object to outside the bounds of the object, the movement recognized as occurring while the object is selected; and identifying a copy gesture from the recognized first and second inputs, the copy gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the object to follow subsequent movement of a source of the second input. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
recognizing a first input as selecting a first object displayed by a display device; recognizing a second input as provided subsequent to the first input and as a hold of a second object displayed by the display device; recognizing a third input as a tap of the second object during the hold of the second object; and identifying a staple gesture from the first, second, and third inputs, the staple gesture effective to cause a collated display of the first object as beneath the second object. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more computer-readable media comprising instructions that, responsive to execution on a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
recognizing a first touch input as selecting a first object displayed by a display device; recognizing a second touch input as selecting a second object displayed by the display device; recognizing a stylus input as movement from within a bounds of at least one of the first object or the second object to outside the bounds, the movement recognized as occurring while the first and second objects are selected; and identifying a copy gesture from the recognized first and second touch inputs and the stylus input, the copy gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the first and second object to follow subsequent movement described by the stylus input. - View Dependent Claims (20)
