Abstract

A computing device may output a graphical user interface for display at a presence-sensitive screen including an edit region and a graphical keyboard. The computing device may receive an indication of a gesture detected at a location of the presence-sensitive screen within the graphical keyboard. In response, the computing device may output for display at the presence-sensitive screen, a modified graphical user interface including a media insertion user interface with a plurality of media insertion options. The computing device may receive an indication of a selection of at least one media insertion option associated with a media item. The computing device may output for display at the presence-sensitive screen, an updated graphical user interface including the media item within the edit region.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

outputting, by a computing device and for display at a presence-sensitive screen, a graphical user interface including;

a graphical keyboard that includes character keys and a swipe region, and

an edit region that, responsive to a selection of one or more of the character keys of the graphical keyboard, includes graphical elements added to the edit region;

receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a swipe gesture detected at a location of the presence-sensitive screen associated with the swipe region of graphical keyboard;

responsive to receiving the indication of the swipe gesture at the location, outputting, by the computing device, for display at the presence-sensitive screen, a modified graphical user interface including a media insertion user interface, the media insertion user interface including a plurality of media insertion options;

receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a selection of at least one of the plurality of media insertion options, the at least one selected media insertion option associated with a media item; and

responsive to receiving the indication of the selection, outputting, by the computing device and for display within the edit region and at the presence-sensitive screen, an updated graphical user interface including a representation of the media item.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the graphical keyboard includes a media key, the media key being located within the swipe region of the graphical keyboard, and

wherein the modified graphical user interface that includes the media insertion user interface is output in response to the gesture detected at the location of the presence-sensitive screen which is associated with the media key.

3. The method of claim 1,

wherein outputting the updated graphical user interface further comprises removing the media insertion user interface from the graphical user interface.

4. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

outputting, by the computing device, a message that includes the media item.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the media item is a hyperlink to downloadable information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises an address book user interface, and wherein the media item includes information stored within an entry of an address book.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the modified graphical user interface includes the media insertion user interface in place of the graphical keyboard.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface includes a map user interface, the method further comprising:

determining, by the computing device, a device location, wherein the device location is provided to the map user interface to calculate a distance or a travel time between the map location on the map user interface and the device location, and wherein the media item is the distance or the travel time.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface includes a map user interface, the method further comprising:

determining, by the computing device, a device location, wherein the device location is provided to the map user interface to determine a set of directions for navigating from the device location to a map location on the map user interface, and wherein the media item includes the set of directions.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises a digital media user interface, and wherein the media item includes a song, an album, an application, a video, an electronic book, or a hyperlink to the media item stored at a repository remote from the computing device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises an Internet browser user interface for accessing a webpage and the media item includes a hyperlink associated with a location of the webpage.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises a voice memo user interface, and wherein the media item includes a voice memo audio recording.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises an image library user interface, and wherein the media item includes an image or a video.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises a received message user interface, and wherein the media item includes a received message.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the received message comprises an e-mail, an instant message, a simple message service message, a voicemail, or a video message.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises a calendar user interface, and wherein the media item includes a calendar event.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises an application user interface of an application previously executed by the computing device, and wherein the media item is information associated with the application.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the media insertion user interface comprises a user interface of an application preselected by a user, and wherein the media item is information associated with the application.

19. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure one or more processors of a computing device to:

output, for display at a presence-sensitive screen, a graphical user interface including;

a graphical keyboard that includes character keys and a swipe region, and

an edit region that, responsive to a selection of one or more of the character keys of the graphical keyboard, includes graphical elements added to the edit region;

receive an indication of a swipe gesture detected at a location of the presence-sensitive screen associated with the swipe region of the graphical keyboard;

responsive to receiving the indication of the swipe gesture at the location, output for display at the presence-sensitive screen, a modified graphical user interface including a media insertion user interface, the media insertion user interface including a plurality of media insertion options;

receive an indication of a selection of at least one of the plurality of media insertion options, the at least one selected media insertion option being associated with a media item; and

responsive to receiving the indication of the selection, output, for display within the edit region and at the presence-sensitive screen, an updated graphical user interface including a representation of the media item.

20. A computing device comprising one or more processors, the one or more processors being configured to:

output, for display at a presence-sensitive screen, a graphical user interface including;

a graphical keyboard that includes character keys and a swipe region, and

an edit region that, responsive to a selection of one or more of the character keys of the graphical keyboard, includes graphical elements added to the edit region;

receive, an indication of a swipe gesture detected at a location of the presence-sensitive screen associated with the swipe region of the graphical keyboard;

responsive to receiving the indication of the swipe gesture at the location, output, for display at the presence-sensitive screen, a modified graphical user interface including a media insertion user interface in place of the graphical keyboard, the media insertion user interface including a plurality of media insertion options; and

receive an indication of a selection of at least one of the plurality of media insertion options, the at least one selected media insertion option being associated with a media item;

responsive to receiving the indication of the selection, output for display within the edit region and at the presence-sensitive screen, an updated graphical user interface including a representation of the media item.
