Abstract

A computing system includes: a control unit configured to determine an entry type based on detecting an activation spot, determine an interface characteristic based on the entry type, provide a device content based on the interface characteristic, and a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate the device content for presenting on a device.

Claims

1. A computing system comprising:

a control unit configured to

determine an entry type based on detecting an activation spot,

determine an interface characteristic based on the entry type,

provide a device content based on the interface characteristic, and

a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate the device content for presenting on a device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to display the device content based on the activation spot detected within a contact region.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to display a device indicator having a coloration gradient changed based on a gesture direction.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to change an interface coloration, a content coloration, an edge coloration, or a combination thereof based on a gesture direction.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine a destination indicator based on a bar position of a scrollbar.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine an interface coloration based on a contact region where the activation spot is detected.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine a content coloration based on a contact region where the activation spot is detected.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine an edge coloration based on a contact region where the activation spot is detected.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to change a content size of the device content based on where the activation spot is detected.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is configured to determine a lock state based on the a device orientation changing from a vertical mode to a horizontal mode or vice versa.

11. A method of operation of a computing system comprising:

determining an entry type based on detecting an activation spot;

determining an interface characteristic based on the entry type; and

providing a device content based on the interface characteristic for presenting on a device.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising displaying the device content based on the activation spot detected within a contact region.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising displaying a device indicator having a coloration gradient changed based on a gesture direction.

14. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising changing an interface coloration, a content coloration, an edge coloration, or a combination thereof based on a gesture direction.

15. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising determining a destination indicator based on a bar position of a scrollbar.

16. A computing system including a user interface comprising:

a contact region configured to detect an activation spot; and

a content preview configured to overlap the contact region based on a gesture direction of a user entry.

17. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a content lane configured to display the device content based on a use frequency, a use timing, or a combination thereof.

18. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the contact region includes a first sub-region, a second sub-region, a third sub-region, a fourth sub-region, or a combination thereof configured to detect the activation spot.

19. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the scrollbar includes the scrollbar having a bar position configured to detect a bar cursor for triggering the device content to be presented.

20. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a scrollbar having a bar orientation along with the contact region configured to access a device content.
