MANIPULATING CONTENT ON A CANVAS WITH TOUCH GESTURES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of manipulating content on a display, comprising:
- generating a user interface display displaying the content on a touch sensitive display device;
receiving a first user touch gesture on the touch sensitive display device;
in response to the first user touch gesture, displaying a manipulation handle that is related to a first portion of the displayed content, but that is visually separate from the first portion of the displayed content on the user interface display; and
manipulating the first portion of displayed content based on user interaction with the manipulation handle.

Abstract
A touch gesture is received on a display screen, relative to displayed content. In response to the touch gesture, a manipulation handle, that is separate from, but related to, the displayed content, is displayed. Another touch gesture is received for moving the manipulation handle, and the related content is manipulated based on the second touch gesture that moves the manipulation handle.

12. A computing system, comprising:
-
a user interface component that generates a user interface display of displayed content and that receives touch gestures; a content manipulation component that, in response to a first touch gesture, generates a display of a manipulation handle that corresponds to a first portion of the displayed content and that manipulates the first portion of the displayed content on the user interface display based on user interaction, through a second touch gesture, with the manipulation handle; and a computer processor that is a functional part of the computing system and activated by the user interface component and the content manipulation component to facilitate generating the user interface display and manipulation of the first portion of the displayed content. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage medium that has computer readable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:
-
generating a user interface display displaying the content on a touch sensitive display device; receiving a first user touch gesture on the touch sensitive display device, the first user touch gesture selecting a first portion of the displayed content; in response to the first user touch gesture, displaying a manipulation handle that is related to the first portion of the displayed content, but that is visually separate from, and displayed at a different location on the user interface display than, the first portion of the displayed content; receiving a second user touch gesture indicative of movement of the manipulation handle; and moving the first portion of the displayed content on the user interface display based on the second user touch gesture. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
